Dead Period

[ShowMeBuck]

Anyone ever find the irony of this phrase as it relates to recruiting....and roster management?

I was thinking what coaches must do during this period and I figured they must have their “let’s be honest” conversations with players. So I assume transfers come shortly after.

I realize the phrase pertains to recruiting but I couldn’t help but find the sad irony of how “dead period” fits those tough conversations as well.

Perhaps they should just call it Circle of Life period?

Thought this was going to be a thread about the time between January and September.

Hahahaha. Yeah true. Except for spring game.

But actually Holtmann and the boys are helping make the walk across the desert a little less painful. An oasis if you will.

Kinda fitting as if you look back at Haskin’s thread, two years ago this week we were taking about getting dh_simba7 on board (committed 1/18/16)... so yeah, cue the Lion King music.

I hate roster management but it’s the game everyone plays in this “non professional” sport.

We are asking these guys to help make a bunch of money for a bunch of people while still trying to figure their own lives out and if it’s not working out well for the powers that be then........don’t let the door hit ya on the way out son. Pretty freaking brutal.

Can't help you through September but Ohio State plays basketball, and are doing it surprisingly well this season. It'll almost get you to the Spring game.

I thought this thread was going to teach me everything I ever wanted to know about menstrual cycles.

Or football in TSUN for the past several decades.

Maybe we should change the name to... menopause?
