Kolek planning to go pro
What are we even talking about? The Ohio State kicker missed the field goal because the laces were out? I've never been a kicker in football, but I'm pretty certain that's what you want. The laces should be facing the goalposts that the ball is being kicked to, not facing the kicker. That's how the holder was holding the ball (clear as day in the first replay they show here).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09rBR-gNcnQ
Shanks for that video. Shocking that shoothoops was mistaken.
USC is ready for the Big Ten
In a completely Bobby Petrino sort of scenario, Jimbo Fisher poaches Petrino from UNLV after less than 2 weeks to be the new OC at A&M.Reactions are mixed, but people acting like Petrio is a washed up has been are telling on themselves. I totally would not been keen to give him a P5 HC gig, but his offenses have still cooked even in his second stop at Louisville and more recently at Missouri St. With all the talent at A&M, he could make them interesting in a hurry.However, whats intriguing is Jimbo not only ceding playcalling/offense credit, but the optics of the team suddenly turning around after he gives up offensive system control.
Jimbo, Petrino and DJ Durkin on the same staff could either be great....or it could be a disaster. Either way, I am here for it.
Marvin Harrison Jr. unfortunately isn't eligible to be drafted until 2024. He looks like the next great NFL receiver and probably doesn't need to play a single snap next season to be a top-5 pick. Given that he got hurt on a brutal hit vs. Georgia and given all the reaction regarding the Hamlin situation, I wonder if Harrison would consider sitting out next season to protect his multimillion-dollar body. Were I his adviser, it would be difficult for me to advise him to play.
I'm sure he's getting plenty of money playing for O$U.I think the best way to continue to prepare for the next level is to continue playing in college.
Plus a lot of these top NFL prospects who aren't eligible for the draft yet will get an insurance policy in case of injury.
Sitting out the Covid year didn't hurt top prospects, Trey Lance being Exhibit 1. And sitting out bowl games hasn't hurt prospects for years.
The COVID year was an anamoly, and part of the reason players sat out that year was that it wasn't going to be a normal season with normal top tier competition anyways. Trevor Lawrence was the consensus #1 pick in 2021 after his freshman season at Clemson and he still played out not 1, but 2 more years.As Sultan says, nobody sits out a year like that. And while the Hamlin thing was terrifying and sobering, I don't think that affects current players anymore than Eric LeGrand or Devon Walker or Ryan Shazier being paralyzed affected players at the time, outside of maybe those that already had spinal injuries.
Also, given that his dad made $70M in his career, I'd also hope his family is not relying on his future earnings.
