I wouldn't think so either, then I saw this. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/lakers-open-to-drafting-bronny-james-with-lebrons-future-in-la-uncertain-per-report/ The Athletic reports that the Lakers are "open to the prospect" of drafting Bronny, fulfilling LeBron's widely talked about dream of playing alongside his son in the NBA. Is this story put out by the Lakers just to placate LeBron for the time being while they figure out what they want to do. Or is there a real possibility that they draft him?

Brandon Garrison 6'11" Freshman C from Oklahoma State just chose Cats over Arkansas.

He ain't getting any younger and I don't see the Lakers picking up Bronny to make him happy enough to stay around another year. LeBron has a player option for next season that he could opt out of if he wanted to move. I've read a compelling article outlining that Dallas could be the perfect place for him if he wanted to chase another ring. I'm sure there are a few spots that even a 40 year old LeBron could help get over the hump for a title. Biggest question is, would he be willing to play for the veterans minimum to make a move possible. I guess my question or questions are, was this his last game as a Laker and will he be teammates with Bronny someplace next season?

Had dinner at Malones tonight with Pope and Osobor.

Only 3 of Cals signed Class of 24 recruits will be following him to Arkansas now that Cyrill chose UGA/NBA and Quaintance chose Arizona state. So far only Big Z has followed from last years UK roster. On the up side for Cal that gives him more flexibility in the portal to get some older players.

Pope said on the radio today that they have around 29 players on their board that they are interested in or have contacted.

One of the best I've ever seen in high school. He was a beast.

I might have heard of that Fletcher guy! 😆 Those were some great years for high school football in this area.

To be fair, I'd need to see how the play developed. I could see both being right. 😆

😆 I'd probably pass on that one.

Cats added Guard Lamont Butler San Diego St. He was defensive player of the year in the conference last year. He hit game winning shot in the final four two years ago to send his team to title game. They also added Otega Oweh Guard from Oklahoma. Known for physical play and ability to get to the rim. Was the number two scorer for Oklahoma last season.

As a Rams fan I love the dark blue and dark yellow main helmet the Rams wear. The dark blue with white horns is a good throwback. If a third comes into play I'd like to see something completely different.

It's not like the players can't or won't be properly fitted for the new helmets just as they are for the main helmet.

Eliminating the hip drop tackle will be a mess in my opinion. It will probably rarely be clear cut and easy to call. That said, I expect it to be called a lot. I'm not sure what a smaller player is to do if he wraps up a ball carrier around the waist without using his body weight to pull him down. I also can see this frequently being called on sacks. Many times the QB is brought down by a defender with one arm wrapped around his waist and just pulling him to the ground. If he has QB wrapped and is off balance and going down I could easily see Ref flagging for a hip drop.
