You should have taken the bet I offered 2 weeks ago, or at least tried to counter. It would have been money in the bank, but you didn't. Too bad for you.

That is terrible.
Hate to see star players go down....especially at this point in the season.
Was really hoping Josh Allen advanced-

Josh Allen made his usual Superman plays, but unfortunately for him and the Bills he made more turnovers and errors. But hearing the Bo Nix news late last night was a bummer. I hate to see anyone get injured and be out because of it, but to not be able to play when a trip to the Super Bowl is on the line is not only tough for the Broncos, Bo himself, and their fan base, but also for other football fans.
How effective can anyone expect Jarrett Stidham be? He hasn't thrown an NFL pass in years.

He had 2 interceptions and one of them his receiver Brandin Cooks caught.

One of the weirdest calls I've ever seen. I still don't know what the right call was. To me, if it wasn't a reception, it should have simply been an incomplete pass. Not sure how you award a DB a pick on taking the ball away from a WR who caught the ball and took it to the ground. Nothing about the call makes sense to me - it's like saying that letting a WR catch a ball and then just ripping it from him at the right time is an INT.

I’d say keep digging but you’ll do that anyway
 
Maryland up 30 at the half against Penn State, 56-26, and Coit outscored PSU by himself with 30. Adams looks solid and will be good in time.

Adams looks good lately. He could definitely get some PT here with Solo shooting bricks after bricks

Not what I said.
 
I really think folks here should be watching Massamba Diop from ASU. Good chance to get a look at him today against Houston (6:30 pm).


I suspect Bobby Hurley is out after this season and Diop will hit the portal if he doesn't hit the draft. Right now he's not projected as a likely pick, but man, this kid's got lottery-pick tools. 7-foot-1, great length, good shooting touch, incredibly fluid athlete for his size.

Anyway, if Bobby's out and this kid ends up in the portal, I can think of a team with big NIL and annual title aspirations that would seem like a natural fit!

And just like that PSU has cut the lead to 14, Adams looks terrible, and Maryland has ignored the guy who was unconscious in the 1st half. Maryland is horrible.

I almost posted about this guy the other day. He’s got legit lottery pick potential and I’d be surprised if he’s around for the portal. He’s already 21 so I’d think he’d try to cash in now. But 7-1, can handle and shoot, and rim protect.

The good news is that cashing in could mean the portal also.

I don't think we missed much there. Buzz is letting him play because he can this year, so hopefully the minutes get him ready for next year. He was not going to contribute in Storrs. He's shooting it at 33% from the field and has a 1.9TO to 1.3 assist ratio.

Amazes me how Bobby cannot get anything going down there. Same Dad, same drive, coached with Danny, yet the coaching thing isn't clicking for him.

Oh not at all. Just am interested seeing him. He’d be glued to the bench if he was here this year. Just think he’ll be a good player once his physicality improves.

Ball never hits the ground how could it be an incompletion?

He catches the ball, rolls over with in it with his possession, and the defender rips it out on the turn over. IDK - that is a weird INT to me. An offense player has ball in full possession with hip down, rolls over, and then is stripped as his front side comes up on the roll over.

As of now I don't see him in anybody's top 100, let alone in mock drafts. Obviously that can change – there's a lot of time left for him to play his way onto the boards, and just because the experts don't know about this kid doesn't mean that NBA front offices don't know – but as of now there's not much to indicate he'll be in the league next season.

Let's also not forget the strength of this year's draft versus next. He could potentially make more in NIL.

@Hey Adrien! --How did you like Fox? Ct kid for Yale
Expand ...
Back in the fall, I was at a Yale football game in line for food and this tall redhead was next to me wearing a Yale basketball t-shirt. Racking my brain, I was trying to figure out who he might be until later in the game I figured it was Riley Fox.

James Jones loves his guars/wings to be versatile on offense, but Fox is one shooter who always has the green light. Currently the 14th highest shot rate in the nation, 89th in offensive rating and an absurd 27.4 points per 40 minutes played. At 6'6, the sophomore is not only a knockdown perimeter scorer, but he's got the strength and creativity to score inside. One of the elite bench options in mid-major basketball.

Was wondering how his comp was compared to Pierce of Princeton. Realizing- of course- that he's still young and working himself into the starting lineup. Fox looks like a combo 2/3 vs Pierce looking like a 3/4. Pierce mixes it up on the boards more than he would-my guess.

Yeah I checked recently and was really surprised not to see his name. He’s averaging 15 and 6 with 2 blocks and just had 16 and 6 against Zona and 22 and 9 vs BYU. Idk, Ngomba is a late lottery, mid first pick supposedly. Diop definitely is the higher ceiling prospect imo.

It’s like if the ball just bounced off the receiver as he was falling down and the defender caught it. The receiver never possessed it but The ball never touched the ground or went out of bounds, so it can’t be an incompletion, it’s an interception.

That's a great point. Same for the PG from Illinois. This year he's mid-first round, but next year he could be top 5.

It's pretty damn weird how you can catch the ball come down with the ball firmly in your body with your body on the ground and it's not considered a catch.
