QuoteMaritime traffic in the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman has ground to a halt since the US and Israel began attacking Iran on Feb 28. While there is no physical blockade in the strait, Iran has threatened to attack any vessels moving through it, and insurers have yanked their war-risk policies, leaving hundreds of tankers in limbo. An estimated 20% of world oil supply has been disrupted, my colleague Matt Egan writes. If that trend continues, the risks of a global recession compound. The war has already effectively wiped out the "spare capacity" that typically serves as a shock absorber in energy markets.

They'd have to cut him next March (2027) to avoid guaranteeing 2028.

This is the most unfathomable contract in the history of sports (yes, I said that).

It makes no sense whatsoever. They didn't fly by Creed Humphrey's contract, they engulfed it in flames, dropped a nuke, and then ran it over with a semi truck.

I mean...was there another team even close to offering this???

There sometimes is some truth to what he posts, he definitely has some kind of connection inside the program, but it's usually exaggerated or missing some info.  There's no fact checking at all so can't take it too seriously, it's still a troll account for the most part.

Quote from: SchnitzelBoy on March 09, 2026, 09:36:45 AMThe issue of eligibility is less important to me than experience. We need guys who have been there before. We need physically and emotionally mature hoopers who can navigate game situations. I also think we have so many young pieces that it suits us better to sign a senior that raises our floor/ceiling while not standing in the way of these good recruits long-term. Zaide was expected back for his senior season, he should be replaced with a senior. It helps with the flow of the roster + recruiting.

Caedin had a decent game, but I'm worried that he's starting to convince the staff that the center position isn't a portal priority... It absolutely should be.

Quote from: 79Warrior on March 09, 2026, 07:09:00 PMI think Michigan loses a few key pieces this year.
