1936 Jesse Owens Item at Auction

Just posting as an FYI, there's a really cool Jesse Owens related items currently available at auction. It's a bound New York Times from August 1-15, 1936. It has photos and coverage of the opening of the 1936 Olympics and all 4 of Jesse's gold medals in front of Hilter and Nazi Germany. Here's the link:

There are also pictures of the Hindenburg, Joe Louis, FDR, etc, but Jesse and the Olympics are the highlight. Thought you would want to know. Good luck!

2021 Fall Camp and Other Tidbits

There could be some changes this year:

Sources: Significant Changes Coming to Fall Camps After February Concussion Study

Change is coming to college football, and this time, the modifications are on the field.

While the last several weeks have been spent on transfer legislation and athlete compensation changes, college sports leaders are poised to make an adjustment between the lines: Preseason camp is getting a facelift.

In response to results from a five-year concussion study released earlier this spring, an NCAA legislative committee is deeply exploring ways to make the annual August camp a safer place, officials told Sports Illustrated in interviews this week. The Football Oversight Committee (FOC), college football’s highest policy-making group, plans to present recommendations soon that will significantly change one of football’s most grueling traditions.

Committee members are considering a reduction of full-padded camp practices (from 21 to eight), the complete abolishment of collision exercises (such as the “Oklahoma” drill) and limiting a team to two scrimmages per camp (lowered from three and a half).

The changes stem from a study published in February that was funded by the NCAA and Department of Defense. The study tracked head exposures in six Division I college football teams from 2015 to '19, finding that 72% of concussions occurred during practice and nearly 50% happened in preseason practice, despite it representing just one-fifth of the football season. Total head impacts in the preseason occurred at twice the rate of the regular season. More than 650 players from Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Wisconsin, UCLA, Air Force and Army were involved in the study.

The study leaves college administrators with no choice but to again adjust college football’s preseason camp policies, says Shane Lyons, the West Virginia athletic director and the chair of the FOC.

DB recruiting failures as seen in 2020

Not specifically disagreeing with your point but I do think it’s worth considering that the other elite schools missed out as well. Do they have as much of a “relationship” as tOSU? Maybe and maybe not.

The point is, perhaps it should be acknowledged that Goodwin might have simply made the pick he wanted and has less to do with Stud “blowing it”.

Back to my point that once is a coincidence, twice is a trend. Stud has swung and missed on at least 4 (Pending a Goodwin flip) in the past 3 recruiting cycles. I don't mean to keep beating it to death but rationalizing it away on a case by case basis is disingenuous imo. OSU football is the ultimate accountability driven outfit and you have to wonder out loud about OT recruiting no matter how good interior OL recruiting is or how much depth we have this year.

We all saw what happened with one bad year of recruiting DB's in the form of the 2020 secondary.

Arizona Wildcats

Arizona expected to hire Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd as new men's basketball coach, sources say

Arizona is expected to hire Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd as its next men's basketball coach, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Over the past few weeks, Lloyd had emerged as the favorite to replace Sean Miller in Tucson. Arizona looked at coaches with connections to the Wildcats, namely Pacific's Damon Stoudamire, Georgia Tech's Josh Pastner and Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Miles Simon, but they opted to go outside the family.

Lloyd, 46, interviewed over the weekend, sources told ESPN, and he is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.

Maryland Terrapins

Maryland Terrapins extend basketball coach Mark Turgeon through 2025-26 season

Maryland agreed with basketball coach Mark Turgeon on a contract extension through the 2025-26 season on Wednesday.

Turgeon has led the Terrapins to five NCAA tournament appearances during his decade at the school. Most recently, Maryland reached the second round this season before losing to Alabama.

"We believe in Coach Turgeon and are excited about what the future holds for Maryland basketball," athletic director Damon Evans said. "Coach is fully committed to Maryland, and we are in agreement of the expectations for our program as we move forward. Coach and the staff have already been at work recruiting and building on our recent success."

Turgeon's deal includes what the university calls "revised financial terms." He was previously extended through 2023 in 2016 when Maryland made it to the Sweet 16.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

Phil Martelli explains how Michigan will handle transfer portal, roster approach this offseason

The Wolverines now have some work to do this offseason.

Phil Martelli has been instrumental in helping Juwan Howard build his version of the Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball program. Now, he is a part of a group that is adjusting to a rapidly-changing landscape in college basketball.

The transfer portal has exploded in popularity over the last few years, but the COVID season and relaxed eligibility rules have put a record number of names on the move. Michigan has not been affected by it this offseason yet, but it is always worth keeping an eye on.

The Michigan assistant coach joined The Michigan Insider’s podcast to discuss what comes next for the Wolverines with the transfer portal looming over the sport.

Well, first and foremost, whatever anybody wants to think about free agency or not, basically what has happened is they’ve taken an ax and they’ve chopped off the bottom of the tree, and there’s no longer building a program. You’re literally building a team every year. What we are going to rely on is the culture and the personal relationship with each guy. To sit and talk with every guy, and to express to them, ‘how does this fit for you?’ There’s nothing magical. But because one of the foundations of this program is communication, that’s not going to change. We’re not gonna hide from a conversation. The young guys coming in, they’re part of it. And I don’t really have an answer other than each individual is going to be treated as an individual, and an honest conversation will take place.

I cannot understand why the NCAA moved forward with this free agency, knowing already that teams are going to be in flux with who was coming back and who wasn’t coming back. I just think it was a mistake. I really do. And I’ve been staring at one (transfer story) for the last 36 hours. A young man is transferring from Colorado to Tulsa. Guess what? Last year he transferred from Tulsa to Colorado. Seriously. ‘I bought a house last year. It’s really a nice house, but man I missed my old one. I’m going back.’ Well, that’s not the real world. I saw a quote yesterday from a parent saying, ‘well, you know what, he’s not dissatisfied at his school. He just wants to find out what his value is and what he’s worth.’ So, it just doesn’t make any sense. And here’s another little thing, Juwan Howard and Michigan are hotter than hot. So we could have spent as much time answering transfer questions as we did preparing for UCLA. That’s how prevalent it has become. I don’t know where we’re going, and I am saying in the sport. I don’t know where we’re going, but I do know that for our program here, it’ll all be based on individual communication and the continuing of relationship building.

Just sayin': Well, he has a good point; however, coaches can leave a program (before their contract is up), so why shouldn't the players be able to do it too.

Traveling man: Former CU Buffs grad transfer Jeriah Horne returning to Tulsa
Horne played huge role on 2020-21 NCAA Tournament team

Jeriah Horne should always be remembered fondly by Colorado men’s basketball fans for the bundles of big shots he hit during the 2020-21 NCAA Tournament season, his lone year in Boulder.

And this certainly can be said of Horne: Even in an era of loosened transfer rules and with an unprecedented extra season of eligibility for players to utilize, it might be a while before we see another collegiate career as wildly nomadic as Horne’s.

On Wednesday, the now-former Buffs player announced on social media his intention to return to Tulsa for his final year of eligibility. Horne arrived in Boulder last year from Tulsa as the first graduate transfer welcomed by coach Tad Boyle’s program. After a standout season with the Buffs, Horne has opted to return to Tulsa to use the extra season of eligibility granted this year by the NCAA in college basketball’s pandemic season.
.
.
.
Horne began his career at Nebraska, playing 29 games off the bench as a true freshman in 2016-17. He then transferred to Tulsa, redshirting during the 2017-18 season due to NCAA transfer rules before averaging 10.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 63 games (23 starts) for the Golden Hurricanes over the next two seasons.

With Tulsa expecting a drop-off in 2020-21, and with Horne intrigued by the pursuit of an NCAA Tournament berth and the possibility of teaming with Buffs point guard McKinley Wright IV, Horne transferred to CU and fit in seamlessly.

Entire article: https://www.buffzone.com/2021/03/31...rad-transfer-jeriah-horne-returning-to-tulsa/

Just sayin: Horne actually has transferred 3 times,

2016-2017: Corn
2017-2018: sit out at Tulsa
2018-019: Tulsa
2019-2020: Tulsa
2020-2021: Colorado
2021-2022: Tulsa

Not counting any JCs, I wonder what the record is for most transfers between Division I schools.
