He was special….his ability at 6’3” to get his shot off either driving, off the dribble, or catch & shoot was spectacular. The quick release and elevation (point of release) on his jump shot made him unstoppable. HOF skills. Even w/ his issues he is over 40% 3-pt shooter for his NBA career.

Working nights stocking shelves and doing night work at an A&P grocery store. Made $4.25 and hour, learned how to properly mop floors.

Always a chance, but doubtful. He is not a "young" rising senior. He will be 22 soon, needs to chase the dream.

Teachers have to get back to in class testing. That is the only way to gauge learning vs regurgitating. I read a few articles about the “blue books” making a comeback.

I miss the absence of technology. The joy and creativity of entertaining ourselves outside for hours thinking that our parents had no idea what we were doing. The simplicity of fun, laughing, and playing without a care.

I chuckle that Minick is 2nd Team Big East but is voted an All-American. Him being 2nd Team BE is laughable.

The kind of player that would become a 4-star if he committed to another school.

Thinking the Dodgers willl lock him into a long(er) term deal if he keeps this up for the entire season. His payday is coming!

Will wake up tomorrow to see if Little Rock continues the SEC embarrassment

Even if Little Rock loses to LSU tonight, it is quite humorous that the 26-33 team that was 8-16 in their conference goes to Baton Rouge and beats LSU 10-4 last night. Little Rock was 1-13 to end the regular season. Then won 5 straight to win their conference title. Now they have won 3 of 4...

The “SEC on a baseball pedestal above all” has certainly been debunked…..at least until next year when it happens again.

Not to beat the stats to death, but here are the numbers: OK St - 24 home games out of 51 played (47%) UConn - 20 home games out of 59 played (34%) Its not just the home games, but it is the rest that the pitching staff gets by playing 8 less games. Less scrambling to find arms for mid week...

Of the at large bids, Ok St. irritates me the most. 28-23 (played only 51 games with 5 cancellations). Of 5 games cancelled, two were against the West Virginia, the top team in the Big 12. Only 17 away games (5-12).

The bar was unrealistically high for UConn. 17-4 in conference, 23-4 down the stretch. But still needed to beat either Northeastern or Rutgers. Leagues like the BE and teams like UConn just can’t leave an out for the committee or they will use it. Needed mid-week pitching and that never came...
