Really hope the turn to Fru is followed by more high profile bigs because as much as Hayes seemed to indicate a Midas touch, all the long shots here have been pyrite at best.

Yup, he's had some pretty big whiffs with bigs in his time here. You're not bringing guys back for their third and fourth years in the program if you accept you've misevaluated them.

That's CH18 to you

Quote from: brewcity77 on May 03, 2026, 05:18:13 PMI do wonder if he took the wrong lesson from the bigs he coached at Texas. Bamba and Allen were always going to the NBA, and Sims being top-50 was a solid bet. But getting Jaxson Hayes and him basically being the Keaton Wagler of his year gave the impression that every big man Shaka touched turned into a NBA pick.

18 2 tha rescue!

As far as the LPGA marketing, I've noticed on the Sirius Sports updates, there was no mention whatsoever of Nelly winning another major last week or her victory today. Zero. That's not right.

Thompson need to learn how to shoot and Cade needs to take better care of the ball.  Teams don't guard AT.  Maybe CC goes bananas and Duren scores a bit more moving forward.  Duncan Robinson has been inconsistent as well.

Stallions hold onto win!

Stallions in position to pull off the upset over Orlando, leading 20-17 at the two minute warning and with the ball at midfield with a first down.

Anders 6-points are the difference.

What an incredible performance from Anders today.  2-2 on XP and 2-2 on FGs, including one from 48 yards!

Choo, Choo!  The Anders Train is rolling down the tracks!
