I thought it was a 1-900 number?

How many times can you cancel an Amazon Prime trial membership? -
Well, that's just s**t-spiffy

Hendricks put out a tweet/X that had UW's logo on it. UW was one of about a dozen logos. Only significant programs of note were Alabama, Missouri, and Illinois, all were P-4 schools. I don't know who Illinois' QB is going to be because my understanding is that Altmyer is out of eligibility. Someone with connections to UW said Johnson was on campus. Don't know if that person saw him or received word from someone else, but it sounded like someone saw him and could verify his physical presence.

Just got Justus Boone, DL from Arkansas. Started 3 games last year, 6'4", 278, so probably more of a DE.
-
Knocked out two of arguably their three biggest needs with Joseph at QB and just got Oklahoma State's starting OC from last year, Austin Kawecki who is a redshirt senior. Joseph's 21 TDs to 10 INTs would have been the second best ratio at UW since Russell Wilson. Only Jack Coan's 18 TDs to 5 INTs in 2019 has been better. Joseph rushed for over 1,000 yards last year on top of 2,500 passing yards. Averaged over 15 yards per completion, so he has the ability to throw downfield. Now that the QB is in place, WRs should start flowing in. There's some smoke around Cristian Driver (son of Donald Driver).

UW has reached out to former Ohio Bobcat WR Chase Hendricks, the #9 ranked WR in the portal. Hendricks is cousins with UW WR Chris Brooks.
-
They can contact players. They'll say that they're interested and ask them to not make any decisions until the season is over. Once a player is in the portal there is no deadline to commit anywhere; the only deadline is to enter the portal. Kind of like the NCAA's version of the NFL draft - the teams that make it the furthest in the playoffs pick last.
-
Couple of OL visiting UW. Former top-100 recruit Lucas Simmons from Florida State is scheduled to visit, Beau Johnson from North Dakota State is supposedly on campus today. Also, LJ Prudhomme from Arkansas is supposedly going to be visiting. Edit: fun fact, Lucas Simmons' hometown is Stockholm, Sweden. He may feel more at home in Madison than Tallahassee.

I have no issue with 3rd/4th string non-true-freshmen from a 4-8 team hitting the portal. Texas has 8 starters in the portal. No issue with a winning program or NIL there. It's the new normal. Kids see someone else getting a big payday and they think they can get one too. If they're not getting playing time they think they can drop down to a G5 school, show out, and get a payday. For most of them, they weren't getting playing time for a reason.

If Indiana has a weakness, it's pass blocking. Teams have to be able to have good DB play and cover schemes to force Indiana to pass block for more than 3 seconds. UW was able to get to Mendoza for 5 sacks in their game. To beat Indiana a team needs to have a really good defense, both run defense and pass defense. And a competent offense...

The people who are/were primarily making a mess of it are the people who always try to bend the rules as much as possible. And they're the same people who were doing this under the table when it wasn't legal. UW tried to do it by the book. The chancellor said nothing paid until the kids were on campus. Other schools were cutting checks when kids committed. Now there is supposed to be a cap on revenue sharing. But supposedly the same schools (SEC) are ignoring those rules and challenging the NCAA to do something about it. If you haven't seen it, watch the old 30 for 30 on SMU ("Pony Excess"). They talk about how the oil executives in the office towers in Dallas want nothing more than bragging rights over the other oil execs. Nothing has changed.

At least I'm not the poster who thinks that a post that has absolutely nothing to do with Doc Rivers is about Doc Rivers.

Saw a tweet/X that said that Iowa State now has 16 players on their roster. And they had a winning record last year. College football needs to make scholarships and NIL multi-year contracts. Take a scholarship and it's a minimum 3-year contract. Want to leave earlier, then just take revenue sharing and whatever NIL you can find on your own.
-
I wonder if the elimination of the spring portal window has some kids thinking twice about going in. Previously they had more leverage in that if they didn't like what was offered in the winter, they had another shot in the spring (it's football - players will get injured in the spring). Now they don't. And with schools officially having revenue sharing now, they may already have deals in place with their current school and not want to take the risk of shopping around. Also, if a school is still in the playoffs (8 teams still alive), they get five days after their team is eliminated to enter the portal. I don't think that was the case previously, as they had to decide by the time the portal opened (Pribula from Penn State last year for example).
-
Like I said before, there's a lot of parity at the top of the NFC.

Prepare for a healthy dose of Clayton Tune, Chris Brooks, Jacob Monk, Ty'Ron Hopper, Arron Mosby, and Kitan Oladapo.

Game 16: Ravens @ Packers - Saturday, Dec. 27th @ 7:00 PM
LouisEly replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
Considering that the last year of NFL free agent contracts are usually a throwaway year and how many QBs are getting $50M, I think the market for Willis is at a minimum 3/$60M with a majority of that guaranteed, if not more. -
Half of the volleyball team that went to the Final Four who could have returned went into the portal. Playing time was up for grabs there. The basketball team has been bringing in 1/3rd of the team in transfers each year. The football team lost a top recruit to a team that went 4-8 last year. Whatever it is is bigger than the football team head coach. And I don't think that it is any one specific thing.
-
It doesn't really mean a whole lot, but that Sam Darnold got named to the Pro Bowl over Jordan Love is a joke.
-
Green Bay's "magic number" vs the Lions is 1. Any win by GB or loss by DET and the Packers get in over the Lions. Lions have two more losses - they have to win both and GB lose both, because with the same number of wins GB has the advantage in winning %.
-
That's about the last position they need to address (given the cap and other pending FAs). Jacobs is still a good back, Wilson I think is better than Jacobs, Brooks is adequate for a 3rd string back and a good pass protecter, and Lloyd has about as much upside as you can get from a mid-round pick. Way more pressing needs at DT, interior OL, CB, TE depth, backup QB,, given that they have no 1st round pick and limited cap space.
-
Brooks has been on the injury report for one game this year: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/2025_injuries.htm He's their 3rd string RB - he isn't going to play much outside of special teams. Are you thinking of Lloyd?
-
This year is showing that a 12-team playoff is not necessary.
-
So, half of the players who could have come back from a Final Four team have entered the portal. It's not just college football and basketball. Where's the criticism of the head coach?
