Ring has eligibility, enters the portal

Could see Haggard, Ring and King all going to Florida. Ring's sister plays for NC State.

Arbys' has the meats.  We don't.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 11:13:02 AMFor any game that early in the season, I would deemphasize head-to-head and instead focus on which team is the better one between the two right now. IMO, ND is the better team right now.

Though a lot of this could be solved if the CFP weren't releasing rankings during the season, it's nothing more than a ratings grab. If ND had never been shown as consistently ranked above Miami during the season, including last week, then a lot of the controversy would have been avoided.

Fair enough. But the controversy is the fun part! That, and ND tears and whining.

According to the team's website she only has stats for 2022, 2024 and 2025. She was not among the eight seniors who were honored on seniors day.

I was always curious why the B10 was/is entertaining the PE capital infusion; then I read this in the WSJ:

"Now, despite the open money faucet, spending on sports at some Big Ten schools has outpaced revenues. This year, Michigan said it would need a $15 million university contribution to balance its athletic budget. The Buckeyes reported a $38 million deficit across athletics last year. And as Indiana embarked on the best two-year run in its football program's history last season, it needed $34 million in university support to run its athletic department. "

Quote from: UncleOliver on December 08, 2025, 06:55:05 PMAll stats have flaws, especially defensive stats, but just for fun I added points plus rebounds, plus assists, plus steals, plus blocked shots, minus turnovers, took the total and divided it by minutes played to see how current players would rank:

1. Ross .851, 2. James .780, 3. Lowery .744, 4. Clark .733, 5. Parham .647, 6. Gold .639, 7. Norman .630, 8. Stevens .534, 9. Hamilton .497, 10. Jones .437, 11. Phillips .407, 12. Owens .406.

I suspect Stevens with extended playing time will soar in this and Jones will move up too, I would guess. Surprised Lowery scored so well compared to others. Recency bias on my part. Has not played well of late, obviously.

Phillips is supposed to be in high school and appears nervous, which is understandable. Still think he'll be a good player. Nice shot, might not be done growing. Maybe a future stretch 4?

Not surprised Clark scored well here. Sure most of his minutes come at the end of games already decided, but he's looked good and I don't understand why everyone lumps him and Hamilton together. Clark is 7-1 with a massive wingspan and is only his second year of benefiting from college coaching/weight room/going against college competition in practice every day. Hamilton is 6-9 and in his third year.

Was shocked to see someone, sorry I forgot who posted it, give Ross a low grade. I'd give him a B+. Carrying such a big load it's not reasonable to expect him to be AS crazy good a defender as he was in past years.

WUT??
