At least Baylor's bag dropping is no longer illegal.

Have to believe Drew has moved onto extortion as a tool in his bag.  Wouldn't put anything past him.

[Billy Hoyle]

One of these things is not like the others.

Cal is the only public school.

Also, MU is the only faith-based school (Duke maintains ties to the Methodist church but is considered "nonsectarian and independent") and the only one without football.

If you can believe the translate function, the text of the post also mentions Georgia as a possible destination.

Another example proving Willie right. Now we can't even keep up with FAU.

Disappointing news to see a dirtbag like Scott Drew get a good player

Disappointing, but not surprising. Who knows the lengths Drew went to to secure this commitment.

Probably offered to pray with him.

I am sure it hasn't changed since I visited it 30ish years ago.   A very talent rich environment!

Rocket, you put that one on a tee.

purposely however...just more revealing of how imbecilic reeeko is

Yes, you back only the most Christian of Christians, folks who always do exactly what Jesus would have done.

And that's just Scott Drew

Imbecillic and trolling idiot to describe Reeker, priceless!

Truth and falsehood are but two sides of the same weightless, invisible coin, both sides of which are cunningly embossed with the word "ass", Dung Willie

[LloydsLegs]

Norlander and Parish at beginning of their pod had interesting comments on number of scholarship players desired by some coaches as a result of portaling era.  Many looking to carry 11, some even 10 real (as opposed to giving schollies to walk-ons) scholarship players.  Not many want to carry 13.

Makes sense, since its hard to keep 12/13 happy and it's so easy for them to leave. 

For Shaka, carrying 12, and sometimes red-shirting a freshman, can work.  This coming year, carrying 12 (as of now) and with Sean re-habbing, works within the culture.

[GOO]

One aspect of players not having to sit out, that I didn't originally think of, is how many more teams let multiple players go (push out, cut)  now that they can quickly replace them. One aspect that isn't great for players, especially the marginal younger players who need time to develop.

[tower912]

Which is the opposite of what MU/Shaka is doing.

And I like it. I hope it works out and I'm willing to take some down years with this approach if that ends up being the case. Worth it to run a program, develop players, and have kids come in and graduate with a degree. I'll trade a few wins for that. I'm not staring I think it will cost us wins. But if it does or is perceived to, I'm okay with that trade off.

The bolded! This BS attitude that Shaka's system has to outperform the portal system really gets me. BOTH systems can, and probably will, result in some down seasons. I do not like the double standard.

Not saying that Shaka will never use the portal. He might well have if Kam said adios'.

Look at all those "up" seasons across the big East last year.


What... it was pretty much just UConn?

I guess you haven't been a MU fan very long.... or did you just awake from a Rip Van Winkle type sleep that overcame you around the summer of 1978.  I hope you woke up to take a pee in 2003 and 2013.
