I really think a lot of people are underestimating the Jason Campbell signing; a legit backup QB is extremely valuable in this league. I mean look at what Flynn just got for playing 1 game. And Cassel for a handful. I like what they've done this offseason for the most part. The special teams is going to be top 3 again, Weems was a great signing. I also think they will sign Michael Bush and that would be a huge upgrade as well. Draft: DE, WR, OL/LB/CB

I like Kurcz more than Carpenter.
-
Did Weber really never recruit one player that's made the NBA? Leonard will obv, but none other?
-
HA...or not.
-
I really think Iowa is going to give MSU fits today, +11 is looking like a gold mine. I also think Indiana handles Wisconsin by about 5.
-
I don't get why this is a good thing.

If we're not going to compete, what does it matter? What would the team be losing by waiting a month or two to bring him up? Is it worth a year of team control to have him on the roster in April/May in a rebuilding year? Just because you have more money than the Pirates doesn't mean you should be stupid. How do you know they're not going to compete?
-
We are the freaking Cubs, not the Pirates....does a service year really matter? I agree that until Byrd is gone he will need to be in AAA but if Byrd wad dealt then you 100% start him in Chicago IMO. I agree we don't have much of a chance this year, but anything is possible and you gotta try to put your best team on the field.

Better?

Wayne is done, possession receiver at this point.
-
I'm just not real keen on signing VJax, something about him just doesn't "wow" me. Maybe it's his age compared to cost, his production which I think should be higher or his past off the field concerns.
-
I would be so so happy with Wallace, Mario Williams and a OL/WR in rounds 2-3 of the draft.
-
a) Is it possible to sign Mario Williams and also trade the 1st round pick for Wallace? Because I would prefer that to signing VJax. b) What were VJax's off the field problems?
-
Good -- that was the last guy I wanted

Week of 3/4-3/10 Spring Training Game Thread
pitchcs replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
i have found (from following along on gameday) that he is a lot whiter than i had imagined. That's a good enough impression for me. -
Didn't he finish as runner up for Indiana Mr. Basketball?
-
Raridon has done wonders for that program since coming over from Nebraska Wesleyan (I believe?) though. I wanna say this is their first ever Sweet 16 appearance.
-
As is mine, beat the #1 team in the country and made it to the Sweet 16 last night. Where'd you go? Illinois Wesleyan here I'm rooting pretty hard for ISU to get in today, f the bubble since Illinois has no chance. north central. we're in the sweet sixteen, too. we beat wash u last night, play wittenburg on the 9th. Nice, I grew up in Naperville. I saw that all 3 CCIW teams made it through last night. Though I'm not sure I'd exactly call NCC a "D-3 Powerhouse". At least not historically.

Why do you still watch? I'm not 100% sure UI could beat my alma mater right now....and they are not Division 1.

From Matt Bowen in today's Trib, who played under Gregg Williams in Washington: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-0304-bowen-nfl--20120304,0,4015992.column

I like Marshall a lot, seems like someone who would be able to recruit enough to win with his ability. A very smart and dedicated coach. I'm still not 100% sold on Shaka, although I would be happy with him. Buzz Williams would probably be my #1. Is Leonard Hamilton considered a good coach?
-
Young vs. someone like Lon Kruger, Bob Huggins, Ben Howland, etc. Young basically = someone who hasn't coached at a major D1. Obviously, someone like like Davidson's coach, or even Jim Laranega, would fall into old. But I'm doubting they go that route.
-
But isn't 2 years of a franchise basically the same as a 5 year deal with only the signing bonus guaranteed? Get 3, maybe 4, good years out of him and then cut him loose.
-
Is it assumed that Illinois is going "young" with their next coach?
