NFL Coach carousel thread (non Bears)
Bobson Dugnutt replied to WrigleyField 22's topic in Other Sports
Four if we’re including Reid himself (McDermott, John Harbaugh, Bowles). -
KJ is pretty much gone no matter what. He’s projected by almost every outlet to go in the 4-7 range. I kind of think Will Riley needs another year in college to get stronger, but I can see a team using a first round pick on him based solely on potential. I hope he’s happy enough in Champaign to stay out of the transfer portal if he does wind up playing one more year in college. I’m not seeing Ivisic pop up in many mocks yet. Tankathon has him at 49. That’s all I see at a quick glance. I feel like he’s being slept on. 7-1 255 lbs, shooting 38% from deep on 4.5 attempts per game and can bang inside as well (rebounding and shot blocking numbers compare favorably with Kofi Cockburn’s numbers at Illinois). He should find a role in the nba.

The immense talent on the roster was always apparent. The NW and Tennessee games are matchups I’m confident they’d have won if they were scheduled later in the season. I chalk those up to inexperience and a roster with 11 new players still feeling one another out. That they looked so in sync last night is a huge credit to Underwood. Man, the sky’s the limit for this team if guys like Humrichous, White, Davis, and DGL can keep playing like that.

Lots of fun nuggets about that beat down: -Largest ever road win by ANY team over an AP top ten opponent -Illinois shot 55% from downtown…even though they started 0/7 -First opposing team to put up 100 in Matthew Knight Arena (opened in January 2011) -Most points in regulation vs a Big Ten opponent since 1990 -Illinois jumps from 18 to 9 in KenPom, 11 to 5 in Torvik, 10 to 5 in NET

I mean, Pete Rose was a pedophile, so not sure about that “no one is better than anyone else” bit.

i’m guessing because they disagree with you

I think people’s expectations are skewed by the Ohtani and Soto deals, but I also don’t think people quite appreciate how unique those two players are.

Yeah, 10/375 feels right

Cubs Likely to Add Another Starting Pitcher
Bobson Dugnutt replied to Bertz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think they’re aiming higher than Castillo. -
Yep, I’m so high on Tucker I’m willing to forfeit an entire lineup spot to even the playing field.
-
Happ and Busch settled in as pretty regular 1-2 by the end of last year. Given that, maybe: Happ Busch Tucker Suzuki Swanson Hoerner PCA Amaya/Kelly 3B TBD
-
I like the thought experiment, but I’d keep Seiya and explore other avenues for improving the rotation. Even with Tucker, the lineup feels a touch light on power. And we’re devoting 3 spots to young guys still in prove it mode. I think you need the certainty Seiya offers as a hedge against potential struggles from Shaw, Amaya, and PCA. I’m pretty high on PCA’s 2025 outlook, but we’re still talking about only two or three months of strong production at the MLB from him.

Jacksonville might have the easiest path two stumbling into two more wins: vs. NYJ, @LV, vs TEN, @IND.
-
Belli bombs in NY?
-
Is Warren more of a 2nd piece or 3rd piece in a potential Tucker deal? In other words would we be looking at: Paredes + Smith/Caissie/Shaw/Alcantara + Warren Or Paredes + Warren + someone outside of the organizational top 10? I’m guessing the former?
-
Yup, we’re in agreement. I absolutely believe he had some information. I’m not going to go too hard on a college kid. There's thousands of aspiring Jeff Passans out there who get morsels of valid information. Learning what’s actually worth sharing comes with experience, I’m sure. I never put too much stock into a deal actually being completed mostly because the overwhelming majority of rumored trades—especially three-team trades—fail. But anyway, yeah, Cubs being among 10 interested teams and not being the team to pull off a deal is not automatically a Jed failure.
-
Sure, but even Trueblood said it wouldn’t have passed his personal standard of reportability, right? Other than Zanolla and that one White Sox guy, was the three team deal being reported? Not at all saying that talks didn’t happen. I’m sure they did. Another report said the White Sox were talking to as many as ten different teams about a Crochet deal. I’m sure numerous permutations of trades got “close.” I know Morosi called the Cubs a “viable candidate.” Otherwise, I never got the impression the Cubs were a favorite. To say that every pundit on the internet had the Cubs as the favorite is not true. Also, yeah, Crochet was a very good starting pitcher last year. He also comes with quite a bit of risk. If Jed wants to use his prospect capital elsewhere, I’m not losing any sleep over it.
-
Wasn’t it more like one kid with a twitter account?
-
I know Jed hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt with a lot of folks and I get it, but there’s a lot of hand wringing going on over village idiot Jesse Rogers’ gut feeling.
-
Trade for the very good player. Figure out the rest later.
-
I know it’s not this simple as there’ll surely be prospect capital added, but spinning Morel into Paredes into Tucker in a matter of four months sure would be something.
-
Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the Cubs Kyle Tucker hopes? Eliminates the main competition but lessens the likelihood of a Tucker trade? Unless the Astros find a Cubs offer so appealing they’re content to lose both players, it seems more bad than good.
