    Wright made plenty of legitimately good plays, the dude has ball skills. But I'm also not shocked they let him go

    Ryan Poles picks in rounds 2-4 2022 - Gordon, Brisker, Velus Jones - 2/3 good players, when healthy... 1 absolute bust 2023- Dexter (fine rotational DT), Tyrique, Pickens (bust), Roschon Johnson (basically a non-factor) and Tyler Scott (no value provided) 2024- Kiran Amegadjie (bust) and Tory Taylor (an average punter) 2025 - Luther and Ozzy (nailed it), Shemar Turner (injured), Hyppolite (non-factor) So in 4 drafts out of 13 picks he has made (not even considering the picks traded away), only 4 would I consider good picks, then Dexter being fine and Tyrique still having some potential but looking more like a bust and the jury completely out on Turner. Not even getting contributors in those spots has hurt this roster.

    Byard probably gone now, right?

    Signing DT Neville Gallimore per Rapoport

    Couldn't compete if he wanted to. #14 this year is a much better chip than 25, even if you expect the Bears 2027 pick to be more valuable

    You two are ridiculous. This Illini team still has an incredible offense and have had some tough losses lately, but the only two teams in CBB without any real bad losses this year are Michigan and Duke, and even Michigan had a near-miss with an absolutely wretched Penn State team. It's been a disappointing string of results, but I fully expect this offense to carry the Illini through the first weekend, and then we will see if they will play any defense or if it will be a series of shootouts til our hearts are broken again or we beat the odds and win it all

    I think of him and Kelly as more of a 1A, 1B split if they remain healthy and productive (which splitting games should hopefully help with). Like, unless one of them gets really hot maybe they each catch 75 games or so, get another 25 starts at 1B or DH and then get used to PH knowing we have a theoretical 3rd catcher available, especially since they would probably like to make those 1B or DH starts against lefties with Mo and/or Busch on the bench.

    And yet somehow Chris Sale has been healthy as ever, awesome, and got an extension
  9. Rex Buckingham
    Even more impressive than the goal, IMO

    Overtime Olympic hockey is almost as exciting as OT playoff hockey

    The biggest lesson in this may be that Kevin Warren is an absolute dope.
  12. Rex Buckingham
    At least it's now kinda on purpose
  13. Rex Buckingham
    My biggest worry is that Fears does something stupid and either Mirkovic or an Ivisic does something in response and gets tossed... but I think Underwood will have them prepared for his shenanigans

    AK apparently wants all the 2nd round picks
  15. Rex Buckingham
    the MLBPA will not abide teams making up injuries, and if a team gets a rep for pushing guys to the IL with phantom injuries, players will not want to sign there

    Guessing he was referring to Anfernee Simons coming back from Boston but forgot to mention him...
  17. Rex Buckingham
    Viking drafts under him were beyond bad
  18. Rex Buckingham
    Wiggins would be the most likely to be it if not Conrad, but hopefully he exhausts his prospect eligibility by coming up in the second half and being a major contributor for the big league team
  19. Rex Buckingham
    I think it is simple: Allen wanted Brady, he got Brady.
  20. Rex Buckingham
    I know it's Ben's offense, but this can't be seen as anything but a positive
  21. Rex Buckingham
    It doesn't work like that. You don't get to antagonize people, try and dictate the terms, and then cry wolf when someone doesn't agree with your handwaving.
  22. Rex Buckingham
    Loyer was invisible out there today
  23. Rex Buckingham
    I don't think a guy as short as Shaw could play 1B with any regularity.
  24. Rex Buckingham
    pretty sure he means the loss because Cutler went out and we were left with Caleb Hanie to try and beat the Packers
  25. Rex Buckingham
    As expected, Poles says they expect Trapilo out until "deep into next year"
