Itejere didn't sniff the top 100 rankings

We just watched One Battle After Another.

Really liked it, and can see why it's getting so many plaudits.

Thought Sean Penn was especially good, but the acting across the board was outstanding.

Quote from: onepost on December 21, 2025, 08:38:40 PMDo you think we see Shaka on the MU sidelines for 2026-2027, 82?

It would be nothing more than a guess, but I'd guess yes. Nothing would surprise me at this point, though.

They're been a lot of personal bludgeoning attacks recently among Scoopers.  Everyone seems a bit wound up.  But I suppose that's understandable.

When people show you what they are, believe them. He is what he is, and that's not good.

I guess you're allowed to tackle wide receivers before they touch the ball?

Drake Maye is pretty good. I didn't even realize he was in the same draft as Caleb and Jayden.

Quote from: Elonsmusk on December 21, 2025, 09:46:36 PMProbably years of seeing Wisconsin have success doing it for about 25 years..

Nope, nope, nope.
Made this same point in another thread. Bo Ryan's "projects" were by and large four-star, top 100 recruits, not zero stars he was snaring away from prep schools and low majors.
Copy/pasting from the other thread ...

Bo Ryan's developmental bigs:
Brian Butch, 5-star, McDonald's AA, RSCI #7
Greg Steinsma, 4-star, RSCI #37
Jon Leuer, 4-star, RSCI #87
JP Gavinski, 4-star, #92 on 247 Composite
Jared Berggren, RSCI #100, 4-star
Evan Anderson, RSCI #95, 4-star
Frank Kaminsky, 3-star, 247
Ethan Happ, 3-star, 247 #150

All of these "developmental" guys, with the exception of Kaminsky and Happ, were top 100 players recruited by high-major programs. Kaminsky had offers from other P5 programs and in Happ's case, he grew three inches from high school to college, so he was seen coming out as a kind of unathletic 3/4 who developed into a crafty/skilled post player when he got tall.
