In its history, the Tulsa men’s basketball program has only landed a handful of 4-star prospects, and the most recent is Powder Springs (GA) McEachern point guard Jaye Nash. The 6-foot-2 and 175-pound floor general signed with Tulsa on Monday after an official visit to the TU campus this past weekend.

So Chris Richards is now featuring for Crystal Palace at a center back spot. He has had a really strong game against Man United today. He's clamped down on Rashford and had a 70 yard run to track down and tackle the ball away from Antony who got the ball on a quick counter. Crystal Palace earned a 1-1 draw with United.

First TU offer in the 2025 class...

FWIW, multiple outlets reporting Bubba Cunningham has been asked to speak to a closed door session of UNC trustees regarding $100 million in accumulated debt by the program under his watch and the possibly of a financial audit.

I don’t see how the ACC is viable beyond 2025.

Total U.S. debt will be $35T at the end of this year. Current debt service costs on obligations coming due is roughly 5%. We have a large amount of debt coming due in the next 12 months. Do the math

$35T x .5% = $1.75T in debt service. This is assuming we can keep debt service at 5% which is hardly a guarantee due to the extremely large amount of treasuries which have to be sold. The Federal Reserves is about the only buyer of U.S. Treasuries at this point. Just printed money. It’s a shell game.

At what point will our political leaders address this issue.? What point will the media cover this issue?. What point will the American people pay attention? Assume the answer to all the above is “when everything crashes and we can’t pay entitlements or we continue to print money and inflation hits 20-30% (maybe higher).

Corey Washington, Almanor, Odom, Pope and Nwankwo. Anyone else we're strongly pursuing rn?

Another good get. Now need some bigs with the last 3 spots.

After entering the transfer portal in March, former Minnesota shooting guard Braeden Carrington committed to Tulsa Saturday and signed with the Golden Hurricane on Monday. A former Mr. Basketball in Minnesota out of Park Center High School, the 6-5 guard heads to TU with two years of eligibility remaining. During his time with the Gophers, he made an impact, appearing in 51 games total, including ten starts last season.

I thought this could be used for players that have recently entered the transfer portal.

Guess what UTSA guard has entered the portal? Hint. This players Dad is super annoying on Twitter, and this player thinks he's the next Steph Curry.

Quick story on Carrington

No idea how accurate this but FWIW

If my memory serves the NCAA website has an official player portal list, but I can't find it this year. According to this list from On3 there are already 237 players in the portal.

Anyone familiar with the Sheffield United local club. They are looking to start a team for “2013 youth”. My son has been approached about his son signing up?
Should 6 year olds really be in a competitive club like Sheffield?

Interesting……The portal has closed for Tulsa’s two returning QB’s.

Yesterday marked the passing of the great Mike Pinder, Mellotron king and last living co-founder of the Moody Blues. He was also a fine songwriter and vocalist, winning the Igor Novella songwriting award for the Moody Blues song "A Simple Game." He retired from music (mostly) in 1978 to California, and later worked in the video gaming industry.

He also recited the spoken word poems written by drummer Graeme Edge, such as Late Lament:

"Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion"

Godspeed Mike. Too many of my musical heros are passing. Tis the season it appears.

It now looks like we will be throwing tens (maybe hundreds) of billions into Ukraine. What is the plan here? Simply out spend and out last Russia? Give Putin those eastern areas and rebuild the rest of the country? Haven’t seen any sort of strategy outlined.

I’m surprised nobody has posted anything yet, at least I haven’t seen anyone post it.

I'm finally back from the mountains, and it appears I missed a bunch of stuff....as usual. This was posted in the portal thread, but posting in its own thread. Tulsa picked up a commit yesterday from TCU freshman DB transfer Champ (Ronald) Lewis. Had multiple P5 offers as a 2022 prospect, including Boston College, Colorado, Kansas, Purdue, Oregon State, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
