Have heard nothing but crazy good things about him with the Grizzlies, especially from the younger players but that is a hell of a risky hire....

Final Four results sort of led me down a rabbit hole looking at some stats from this season. I was mainly looking at 3pt shooting because of how I thought it was the number 1 issue for Duke and Kentucky. Duke shoots them horribly and Kentucky doesn't shoot them enough (336 in the country in attempts...

[quote]George, why is there such a discrepancy in the SOS rankings between Sagarin and Connelly?
[/quote]
I think Connelly's takes in to account what you would expect a team to do with that schedule, as in a team going undefeated with a shitty schedule will be higher than team that went 6-6 with...

They exploited what I feared was our issue all season, get our LB's covering in space or have them hesitate. Their chunk plays all seemingly came from a LB being forced to cover someone or being unable to shed a block after allowing a lineman to reach the 2nd level. The defense was mostly fine with ...

[quote] It wouldn't pay out over something like what happened to Jaylon Smith that dropped him from top 5 pick to 2nd rounder and cost him $15M.[/quote]
His did payout, but not an amount close to what he would have made if he was drafted there.
I think Fournette had like a $10m policy...

[quote]We keep hiring in terms of an up and comer, the hot assistant hire, not a legit program that deserves proven winning. Auburn did just that with their last hire and are reaping the benefits.[/quote]
We currently have a former NBA COY who coached in the fricking NBA Finals. That is better tha...

[quote]Michigan – we’re getting screwed, right?
I’m going to go with a yes. As it turns out, Michigan and Alabama are in a special kind of unlucky streak, stretching for many years. The below is a graph of all FBS teams 2012- present (B1G teams are re...

It’s just what he does. He literally ripped up Dejuan Wagner’s scholarship papers back at Memphis and look what happened there. I wouldn’t worry about Knox and SGA coming back. ...

(2) Donta' Hall develops a pick and pop 15 footer that is good enough to at least have to be respected by opponents. This will be even bigger with a non-lottery pick PG. [/quote]
Unless the big is popping to the 3 point line I don't want it and Hall isn't becoming a 3 point shooter.
