Is there a fan Portal? Losing favorite players/coaches is hard on a longtime fan. Think I'll enter portal and fan for the Division II Nova Southeastern University Sharks next year. Successful (68-3 last 2 years); "Havoc-ish" defense; only 4 coaches in last 40 years.

Body, Heart/attitude, Skill, and your teammate competition all factor in to playing time. Any player wanting more PT can work on the first 3.

Vince really does it all. He led all rebounders (both teams) in the game with 12, while leading his team in assists. Ram Tough.

Bones needs to be traded ASAP. He was playing well (23 minutes 12 points/game) before LA brought Harden in and changed their whole lineup. Clippers were winning and playing well with him. Now he is just a spectator. It must be awful for him. He can't improve or do his job on the bench...

This is a rebuilding year. It is likely to be a rough ride. That happens when you lose your coach, most of your players, and start recruiting in late March. We lost our top 7 point getters from last year (Johns, Ace, DeLoach, Jamir W, Nunn, Kern, Shriver). Those guys were better than the...

Since we now have the Utah State coach - Maybe we should take some of their cheers, too. This might be a fun one: watch

Love this. Now when threads get highjacked by pissing contests, let’s just invite the contestants to take it to the tough guy thread

In sports, when you have natural athleticism you tend to get what you earn. Hope Tobi knows this and is hungry.

Mike Schlegel - undersized center with an oversized heart.

They do look like they have a good team this year. Between the ex-Rams, recruits, transfers, and returners - they look good on paper. It will be fun to see what Rhoades can do with this group.

I suspect it helps that his Dad is a pro coach. Coach’s kids tend to have solid fundamentals.

It feels unfair to call every kid you'd like that doesn't come as "a miss". There are probably 60-100 kids/year that fit that definition. Ramnation (and I) get excited about most any kid in the high school top 100. Maybe a fairer "miss" standard is if you end up in a kid's "top 6" while they...

OK, since none of us have seen all these guys play, here is my totally uninformed line-up (starter, sub, alt sub). For safety, it assumes Bamisle has to sit out a year (hopefully not). Point - Zeb; Nelson 2 - Shulga; Patrick 3 - Bairstow; Billups 4 - Kuany Kuany; Belle 5 -...

Midseason Denver was winning but few saw them as championship material. I put money on Denver to win it all (10:1 payout). Liking my chances, now.

I like them both, and am glad Okafor has walked on to add another big in practice. Still, I do not see either contributing to game play in a meaningful way. I would prefer to save the last open scholarship for a late portal find or a de-commit with more game minutes potential.
