Kent State Golden Flashes (official thread)

I went there in the early 90s. That was some bad football. 3 wins in my 4 years there. My Sophomore year I had a roommate from the Pittsburgh area that would go home a lot on the weekends.

Kent State football is a stepping stone program for coaches to get a better job if they have success. I blame them for not hiring Nick Saban in 1987.


They got $1.5 million from Oklahoma and $1.2 million from Florida State.
We must have overlapped there. I believe the football team managed a total of four wins in my four years.

High School Baseball

Your approach is far more PC than mine. Don't actually remember if varsity teams are limited in numbers, but once more, would be better playing at a lower level than sitting on the pine on varsity. An upfront meet with both coaches might benefit all parties. Could be the varsity is 'stacked' and making a run for league title, so no room for development. PS, if meeting is unsatisfactory, always able to transfer HS (if town is big enough for multiple), make it for 'academic' reasons, not athletic. Good luck.

2026 NFL Draft April 23 - 25 at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh

I wonder why there was no interest. Lack of talent ? Behavior issues? His own coach warned teams?

Its a mix of him not fitting the mold of an NFL QB and his attitude. If he was less over the top arrogant douche some team may have taken a late round flyer on him. Nobody is going to want a headache from a player who's 99.9% not going far. He's got a top pick attitude for a UDFA camp fodder caliber player. That doesn't fly

CG John “Juni” Mobley, Jr. (Official Thread)

Nothing wrong with finding out the 'missing piece' in obtaining a NBA draft number. Gives one something to work towards. Unlike football, don't see many NBA ex-players returning to coaching (relatively speaking). So, who gives these kids the secret sauce to get drafted? No, don't believe Mobley is NBA-ready yet, and, correct me if I'm wrong, but declaring for NBA (w/o signing with an agent), is not the same as declaring for the portal. Ergo, portal is closed, so it's NBA or return to former team, am thinking. Only brighter and wiser as to what is needed in order to advance. On another issue, wouldn't want to waste Mobley's energy bringing the ball upcourt. Would rather see him go downcourt, set up, look to break, and then turn and shoot, rather than all the dribble stuff a PG needs to be good at. Anyway, just a thought on a Tuesday morning.
