Actually looks built like a true DT. Hopefully ends up weighing 320+ pounds.

Sure, but the draft rate for lower rated guys is higher for the position group as a whole than pretty much every other position group. Both of those things are true. In the last two drafts 7 out of the 16 first round picks that were 3 star or lower recruits were guys that are OL.

Saw an advanced stats thingy on X. Ball is a 92nd-93rd percentile guy in terms of deflections and being the point of attack defender. They will lose Jerome which sucks in terms of his scoring punch, but Ball fills a major need for them in terms of defending when the game is more physical in...

Health seems to always be a concern with this guy, but assuming healthy this would be a bigger guard whose strengths will be playmaking/facilitating and defense. As a rotational piece this could be an upgrade in terms of addressing some of their postseason problem areas with the rotation.

2025 NFL Draft: 7th pick — Armand Membou (3 star, #21 IOL and #502 overall in 2022 in 247 composite) 9th pick — Kelvin Banks (5 star, #3 OT and #33 overall in 2022 247 composite) 12th pick — Tyler Booker (4 star, #7 OT and #57 overall in 2022 247 composite) 18th pick — Grey Zabel (0 star...

Correct. Affordability is going to play a major role in elections for the foreseeable future. Democratic Socialists are bumping traditional liberals/establishment Dems in major urban areas no differently than MAGAs are bumping out traditional Republicans in smaller cities and rural areas. They...

Probably about as good as could be hoped. Sounds like Proctor will get a multi-year contract and will fill a cheap roster spot. Has some size/length and proven shooting to be a potential rotational 3 & D guy. Mr. Draft and stash is a cheap lottery ticket with great positional size/length. Odds...

The development is more important IMO. By a lot. The change in body composition and strength between a 16-17 year old OL recruit and a 20-21 year old 2nd/3rd year college OL is enormous compared to just about any other position group. Usually end up having substantial weight gain/weight loss...

Not sure this is the Johnny 3 star to be having a meltdown over. 15-20 power conference offers and it looks like A&M was the runner-up in this recruitment. Has a great size profile to project to stay as an OT and dad was a starting OL on a natty winning team at Florida State.

I don’t remember much about De Blasio aside from him being highly unpopular with law enforcement and seeming to have a few moments of answering questions or commenting on particular topics by quoting or referencing Karl Marx. NYC got a lawman in Eric Adams as a result of having commie De Blasio...

Not sure I’d read too much into the “politics” of this. IMO this more so a rejection of Cuomo and the standard establishment/cookie cutter highly self-serving politicians. A big sound bite quote in this race was Cuomo talking about “visiting Israel and Ukraine” while the other responded with...

Correct. Feels like they have to be making another move because that trio does not make sense.

I don’t think there’s ever been a real running total of debt for the athletic department mentioned anywhere, probably due to any running capital projects. The only times they’ve ever notably run yearly big deficits in recent history were the Covid year and the recent fiscal year which had...

In this part of the country (core Big Ten footprint), college wrestling IMO is undeniably a bigger deal than college baseball. Aside from spring weather issues, major and minor league baseball are huge impediments to college baseball. Having a AAA baseball team in Columbus that’s consistently in...
