Mystics have waived Rori Harmon.
I know you're joking but Rori has options in UpShot, Project B, or overseas to continue to develop her craft. Even still the Sparks waived Latson, and yesterday against NY with the Aces she got extended run because the Aces sat everybody. She ended up easily dropping 20. I don't see a team that Rori would fit with, so UpShot or overseas is her best shot

Cash strapped LSU football just sold!
When you see the words private and equity in the same sentence with sports it becomes very hard for that team to win championships. Their goal is simple, put a decent enough product on the field, court, or diamond to keep butts in seats. Shareholders and ROI are the main thing, everything else is secondary. Texas better never 😂 I'd liquidate my 401k, my bank accounts, give it all to CDC, and move in my sister's basement. That should be enough to cover the Texas light bill for a day, but I'd feel good about it. JK

LWC
Plenty of runs here too but you also see catches in traffic.

LWC
Idk a lot of the same issues Gibson had at Texas I see LWC having the same. I watched a 20 minute HUDL and only seen him catch one pass. You're not getting on the field for Sark as a running back of you can't pass protect or catch. Not saying LWC can't do those things, I'm just saying it's not on tape. I'll hold my judgement until I hear the things I'm looking for once he gets on campus.

Streaming Advice Needed!!!
Man I miss those days. I loved staying up til the wee hours of the morning to watch the guys. I watched Vince become Superman in a MWR tent on replay after an 18 hour road clearing mission. 😂 I felt like I dodged a bullet twice.

OU’s #3 WR trying to flex
Calls change from year to year even as much as game to game. WRs are on a choice route tree with strict rules. So you can literally call the same play four times consecutively and it'll be different depending on the defensive front and defensive backfield alignment. So even switching schools Parker doesn't have any more information of this year's scheme that isn't already on tape.

Reason For DC Switch?
Go watch Indiana against Ohio State vs Texas against Ohio State and notice the difference between how the Buckeye quarterback played. At some point you have to stop waiting for the QB to make a mistake and force him to make it. PK didn't do that and that why in all but one year his pass defenses were below average. Not to mention he could never marry the front to the backend

44 Days Until Kickoff: Who’s Your Favorite No. 44?
Just found out my niece is best friends with our offensive line commit Jack. She's like he's huge she'll be going to a game or two with them. She asked if I wanted to go, I was like nah I'm good and the beer is expensive 😂

2027 Women's Softball Thread
That's what makes Texas like no other school in the country. We don't have to pick and choose which sport we're going to spend on. We have the resources to spend on them all. Look at our men's basketball roster, our women's basketball roster, our football roster, our volleyball roster, our baseball and softball rosters. It's why we're always in the running for the Director's Cup. There aren't many schools who can compete with that.

Reese just hit a 2 run blast for her 8th HR of the season.

2027 Women's Softball Thread
They're doing horrible marketing the league, with Pickens, Atwood, Canandy... along with some many other high profile players coming in from a very popular college softball you'd think their partners from MLB would really get behind it so that the league doesn't collapse or they don't have to wait 30 years like the WNBA. Women sports are really taking off.

Anyone watch the AUSL? Seeing Atwood catch Pickens is weird and amazing at the same time.

Monshun Sales challenges Sauce Gardner
How am I taking it too seriously? A high school kid has the nerve to challenge an all pro NFL corner. What's a common trait for this community isn't common for me. You won't find me on many if any threads talking projection over production. I'm sorry but that's just what I do if that's what everyone is on then I won't be the part pooper, I'll let you guys have your "fun"🤘🏿

Monshun Sales challenges Sauce Gardner
Basketball and football are totally different sports. If I have a quicker step than you I can get to the cup and use the rim as a protector. In football even if I beat you off the line and do all the things, but the QB is late and throws it inside and high that's a pbu or a pick. Young buck needs to calm down, there's so much that he doesn't even know that he doesn't know. Confidence is good arrogance and ignorance yield Brandon Aiyuk.

Monshun Sales challenges Sauce Gardner
There's confidence and arrogance 😂 if a high school student thinks he can challenge an all pro NFL corner that's just ignorance. I wish Sauce would have taken him up on his challenge and showed his the difference in strength, technique, and craftiness. These two aren't on the same planet when it comes to skill. Size and speed don't matter when you're going against someone who can neutralize it.

Longhorns in the NBA Summer League
I know how we can get with our Longhorns in either the NFL or NBA, but if you're looking for Dylain to be more than a 15 minute a game role player and someone who has to get in where he fits in you're expecting waaaaay to much. He ain't there yet🤘🏿

Royal
True but at the same time with what Texas has on campus for the next couple of years in Bishop, Royal isn't as much of a must get for Texas as he is for LSU. If LSU wants to outbid Texas for him, Texas essential weakend LSU as a whole. LSU is already facing donor fatigue and with no real proven QB on campus after Sam, they're going to have to over spend for a QB in the portal. So like much of Lane's team they might have an explosive offense, but no real difference makers on the side of the ball that brings championships home.

Let's Overreact
I think Boozer will have the best season out the group. He never looks like he works hard. Then at the end of the game he has 20/10 and you never even notice. Being fundamentally sound and consistent is going to go a long way.
-
Let's Overreact
Not sure because I don't have a good gauge on what direction they're going with their roster.
-
Let's Overreact
I'm biased being a Duke fan and all, but I think Maliq Brown will have the best tenure as a Spur. There's nothing flashy about him, but he can guard the three and four and most small ball centers. There wasn't going to be much the Spurs was going to get out of this draft other than role players and depth. So it may not look like it on paper but they had a pretty good draft all things considered. They can groom what they have while the pups already on the roster grow into dawgs

Let's Overreact
This year's NBA draft class is the best since... I'll go first 96. I love that all four of the top four picks believe they should have went number 1. The Clippers are going to regret going Wagler over Acuff, they both are allergic to defense, but at least Acuff can create separation and get his shot off. Wagler... meh so far, not so much.
-
Longhorns in the NBA Summer League
We only played him at the 1 because of the roster make up. When the season starts hell spend most of his time at the two or three. Hard to see me seeing Splitter taking the running the offense duties from Tre and Josh.

Marcus Spears Jr. has signed with Texas - UT release
Spears Jr. I hope you're watching Caleb Wilson, you could be next.
