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.

No idea how accurate this but FWIW...

If my memory serves the NCAA website has an...

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.

Transfer DB from TCU. Good size.

I figured I would start this thread. My son will be playing for Union (starting JV goalie and varsity backup). I will learn a lot tomorrow about what the season will look like and who the teams to beat after tomorrow's preseason festival in BA. I know Union will be playing BA and Bixby and there may be a 3rd game thrown in. Things kick at BA's Kirkland Complex (between 71st and 81st on Lynn Lane) at 2pm for Union (Union varsity/JV vs BA at 2pm (I would assume main field will be varsity, lower field for JV). Union will then play Bixby at 4:15pm (same set up).

BA has something like 10 seniors on their team this year. Union has 18! And while 18 seems a lot there are about 8 of them that have never appeared in a varsity game...I do think most of them are at least rostered with varsity for the start of the season. Out of the 18, the entire Union defense is seniors and have been starting and playing together for the last 3 years. The back 5 all play for the Blitz 04/05 EA team and the GK plays for the TSC 04/05 ECNL team. Interestingly the primary goal scorer will be a junior...and he's one of the fastest people I've ever seen with the ball at his feet. Union is also working with a 2 HC system this year as 2 of the assistants are basically sharing interim HC duties...Union's HC is dealing with a custody issue in one of the tribal court systems right now and is away from the team. From what I've heard Union will be among the top 4 teams in the state along with BA, Norman North, and maybe one of the Edmond schools (Memorial or North...will learn more about them this Saturday at the Deer Creek tournament). Bixby lost a lot last year but may have the top returning GK in the state in Casey Copenhaver. Owasso also has an excellent GK but the rest of that team lacks speed and technical precision. Jenks will be solid but believe it or not they're still struggling to find a way to replace Will Edwards...they just don't have that dynamic special player to carry them when needed nor enough dynamic pieces to make up the production, a la the Oakland A's moneyball roster.

$1m paid as NIL to each team's players. Another $1m to the winner.

Alabama, Houston, Notre Dame, Oregon, Rutgers, San Diego State and Texas A&M are all on board, sources said. The eighth and final school for the 2024 event will emerge from a small group that is still being deliberated.

Plans are to double the size of the field, sources told CBS Sports, with 16 teams as the target for 2025 and beyond. Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Michigan, Syracuse and Virginia have all engaged in discussions about potentially playing in 2025. Sources from a few schools in that group told CBS Sports they anticipate playing in the event if it extends beyond 2024 and continues as planned with 16 teams in 2025. If they opt in, they'd be joined by most (if not eventually all) of the schools playing in 2024, many of which have already signed up for a three-year agreement, according to sources.
