A team actually is allowed one summer trip every four years. You are correct that the last one was in 2023, so there could be another one as early as 2027.

Hopefully, that will be true in another year or two. But this year she will be in practice and learn mode.

In better ball, not sure how anyone wouldn't take Bryson in a heartbeat. The only reason not to take him would be hatred of LIV. (Note: I hate LIV but I wouldn't even have to think to add DeChambeau to the team as my first captain's pick.)

We'll see. A lot of things can happen. Rory McElroy won his fourth major at a much younger age than Scotty (Age 25) and was #1 in the world at a much younger age (Age 22) than Scotty. At that time many were saying things like "Rory will be challenging Tiger and Jacks records". They're not...

He is certainly on pace, but golf is a funny game and it is really hard to sustain that kind of success. For example, Jordan Spieth won his third major by the age of 24. He has now gone eight years without winning another one. Another example is Rory McIlroy. He won four majors by the time he...

I can’t see that it will take any shine at all off the apple. All they will do is say that UConn is one of the top 16 seeds, and we already knew that. They will not say who UConn is playing or where UConn is seeded or even which day UConn is playing on.

This is really not a big deal at all. They are simply going to announce who the top 16 seeds are. Anyone who follows college basketball could’ve guessed almost all of them before the announcement. They are not going to announce anything about who these teams are playing or what number their...

Coaches are allowed to work with the team four hours a week.

Note that summing up all of these averages, when some of the players will have played far less than all of the games, is meaningless. For example, if Gandhi theoretically averaged five points a game, but only played in eight games, then her effect on the teams total would only be about one...

No. Liberty was seeded second in their pod, meaning theoretically that they were somewhere between the 17th and the 32nd best team in the 64 team field. Much better than Harvard was in basketball the year they upset Stanford.

Her returning even by midseason would not be on the most optimistic rehab calendar. There are many players who have returned in seven months or less. It all depends on whether there are other issues and whether she wants to push the rehab. One example that many UConn fans will remember is...

There is no rule at all preventing the kid from visiting the school or sending a text or email. Just a rule that the coaches cannot respond in any way during that week. That rule, btw, was put into place at the request of many coaches, who felt like they never even have a second to breathe...

The first week of May is a recruiting shutdown. As per NCAA rules, “A recruiting shutdown is a period of time when no form of recruiting (e.g., contacts, evaluations, official or unofficial visits, correspondence or making or receiving telephone calls) is permissible.” Among other things, there...

That is not correct. Once the player enters the portal, they do not have any guarantee of having a scholarship if they decide they want to return. That would completely be the decision of the coach and the school.
