If you get the chance, try the new Velvet Smoke location on Buttermilk. They have the best BBQ in the city IMO. Only open for lunch right now, but worth the trip.
Young is a generational talent. I don’t think any of the top QBs are near that level. Even if there is a need at QB for the top pick, I think you take the generational talent. Rushing the passer is every bit as impactful as a serviceable but not great QB.
I dislike aOSU with the fire of a thousand suns. Always have, always will.
That doesn't change the fact I have yet to see a weakness in their performance this season. And they have the best and most disruptive player in the sport.
I throw up a little every time I say something nice about them, but I see what I see.
Pitt, UL, Cuse, WVU. UC was strong and USF was bipolar. UConn is UConn. The best years they had were not against Memphis, Houston, UCF, Navy, SMU and the rest of the misfit toys.
What bothers me is the real issue was discussed in the trial and all but ignored. These kids are getting paid significant sums to play for AAU teams now, so of course there is an expectation that they will be paid for their college decision as well. I know of one Nike AAU program that has a 300K budget for “building” their 17U EYBL squad. It’s a big reason why the NCAA has no teeth at all, and I highly doubt any decision against Kansas will survive an appeal.
The FBI case was started because a suspect in a completely unrelated case tied to a financial planner told the feds he had dirt on basketball coaches. That financial planner was linked to the people doing a lot of the dirty work for Adidas. Those people exist for all three major shoe companies, and if any of them were in the same situation we would be having a different conversation.
Point being, the FBI didn't set out to bring down corruption in college basketball. It fell in their lap when someone tried to save their behind by spilling the beans on the small part of the process he was involved in.
Heck if I know. All I do know for a fact is Urb wanted him and Coombs continued to try and flip him through the entire process. You don't believe me. That's fine. I've seen the proof first hand, so I don't care of your opinion either way.
Tavion has been in the doghouse, but my guess is he is in uniform Saturday. Blue is recovering from a foot sprain in camp and still working to get back in the rotation. He was dressed against UCLA but didn't see the field.
And they also wanted Whyle all along as well. I've seen the evidence first hand from Coombs trying to flip him all the way to signing day. Sometimes teams recruit more than one guy at a position. You must be new to the recruiting game. :lol2:
Nice to see you are still changing the story. OSU already had Ruckert in the fold. They also wanted Whyle and they continued to try to flip him behind the scenes until signing day. I've seen many of the text messages from Westside Jesus as it was happening.
