Mr Southpaw

Love is very talented and will have a lot of time to sit and watch and digest everything he needs to be a top flight QB. the only thing he won't have is the game experience, which is crucial. He may not be Rodgers, he may not be Farve, but I don't think he will be like the Bears recent dumpster fires.

Does 2/16 get it done?

OK, starting at 3/26. Does he give a home town discount at all? I probably think he would.

What is a JJ Watt Packer contract look like? Who do they cut, if any, to make it work?

Thanks for the research. Getter done, Gute.

He might take a hunk out of Rodgers gigs.

Better than Peppers, number two to Reggie....I will take that all day. I agree on using him lightly early.

Everything seems aligned for a Watt signing. Make it work, Packers. The optics are perfect, just imagine how many green and gold 99 jerseys will be sold. If he plays at his normal performance level, we are a much better defense. Closest thing to Reggie White since.... Reggie White.

I guess you were right, but I was right too. Some people are just content where they are.

Do we really know that as a fact? Weren't there substantiated rumors that he was a legit candidate to be DC at Florida State or something like that a couple of years ago? Right from the horses mouth..... “I had conversations with a lot of people,” Leonhard said in 2018. “The biggest thing is, this is where I want to be. I’m home. This place means a lot to me and trying to take this program to the highest level, whatever that may be, means a lot to me. That is what it came down to.” “This was kind of the dream job to come back and coach,” he told reporters in December. “Also, being on a lot of different teams, you just realize the culture is different every single place. “There is a comfort level here, understanding what this place is about and how I'm allowed to coach and act and recruit, kind of the whole big picture of what college football is. “(I) understand what Wisconsin is and a big part of me coaching is wanting to come back here and make this place better. I had a great experience as a player and want to give that back to the next generation.” https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/college/uw/2021/02/02/wisconsin-defensive-coordinator-jim-leonhard-interview-packers/4354136001/

Jim likes Madison and UW a whole heck of a lot. The Packers may be Wisconsin's team, but i think his heart is with UW foootball.

For me it is that she is 27. Hard to have great wisdom and leadership ability at that age.

I mean, cool and all, but how is this “well deserved”? Is there any evidence to point to saying it's not? Se is 27 years old. She has never played professional baseball. She has never played college baseball. She HAS played college softball, but they throw underhanded in that sport. This is not the position of hitting instructor for the Timber Rattlers, which is a pretty high skilled teaching position. Not saying she can not do the job, just saying there is some evidence that this is not well deserved.

Article on JJ Watt. The draft capital cannot be that much for a one year contract. https://247sports.com/college/wisconsin/Article/JJ-Watt-Houston-Texans-future-2021-contract-Deshaun-Watson-160181142/

Houston has made some bad trades lately! Why not make another.

GA charge , what the whatever. The Bucks will never win an NBA title because they are located in Milwaukee. NBA Refs are part of the corporation.

Yeah, but now you're punishing the school for the decision of the player to stop playing football. When I said to guarantee the 4-year scholarship, I meant to guarantee it so long as the player wanted it. I don't think you can make a strong argument that it'd be fair to punish the school if the player turned pro, quit, got into trouble...etc... Why not. Scholarships are an incentive to the student athlete to go to a particular institution. Why doesn't it make sense that the scholarship stays with the student athlete for the four or five years they are completing their degree. It would be hard to argue that Kentucky did not know what they where getting when they signed Tyler Herro a couple of years ago. One and done, right! On the other side of the equation, I don't see why these institutions of higher learning should be used as minor leagues for the NBA, NFL or any other pro league by the student athlete. It would be hard to argue that Tyler Herro did not know his future intentions when he sighed with Kentucky. One and one, right. Maybe two and done. There was always the G League/Europe for Tyler to do his thing. He would have still ended up as a first rounder. I think the NFL should create their own G League and stop using the NCAA as a minor league. My whole point here is to say when you sign a contract for four years, shouldn't you honor that contract for four years? The institution should give the scholarship freely for four years to the athlete to complete college studies in return for the student athlete giving four or five years on athletic participation. I my example of Kentucky/Herro both sides of the equation knew how the each other where acting.....with less than average integrity. Both sides broke there four year commitment to each other willingly and in your face. Look at it this way, Herro would be helping Kentucky as a Junior this year to a much better record if he was faced to honor his contract. Why did Kentucky let him go? It is just what college sports has become...a severe lack of integrity by both institution and student athlete. Last thought....Make the institution and the athlete honor their contract. Make college sports what they are suppose to be....sports of college student athletes.

Being they stayed for the entire length (plus 1), there would be no lose of scholarship. Only when they leave early does the school get penalized.

Well...for starters, the 4-year scholarships SHOULD be guaranteed either way. You should only lose your scholarship if you quit or if you get into some trouble. Something that you can control. Grades is another. It should be like a contract. But I don't think that does much to level the playing field. As far as I know, Wisconsin does this pretty much across the board. Even guys who get injured in other sports have maybe lost their athletic scholarship so they don't count against the limit, but still get some type of aid. With regard to winning a title...I guess I just look at it like this, there are ~350 schools playing BB and about 130 playing CFB. We're in the top 10 pct on average and some years maybe a little higher...and I just hope we're able to put it all together like we nearly did in 2014 or the FF appearances in 2000 or 2013 as well. The Football team was one TD away from being in the playoffs just a few years ago when we lose a close game to OSU when we were 13-0 in the B1G title game and that's good enough for me. To be competitive year after year. I'd love to see us take the next step, but to go from a 10-11 win program year after year to a Clemson/Alabama type program....usually takes sacrifices I don't think are worth it. Rember the trash human beings Nebraska was letting on the team when they won their 3 titles? So yeah, maybe I am just happy with what we get. It's kinda like being a Brewers fan. I've accepted things aren't equal and it'll be tougher for us to ever win a World Series than the Yankees or the Dodgers and I just enjoy seeing them be competitive. I don't exactly know what you are talking about, but this is what I think...... If the school giving a scholarship loses the scholarship for the entire four year period, it would even things out a little bit. I don't know how many early entrants Alabama will have this year into the NFL... probably 5-8. If they lost those 5 scholarships for the entire four years, it would hurt a little bit. Same thing with Duke and Kentucky in BB. Just my thoughts

No Carlson again. Is he red shirting?

Why isn't Carlson playing

We'll never know, will we? That's part of the issue, I guess. I just don't get the lack of teams in the CFP. High school goes through a process where almost every team with a winning record gets in to the playoffs. All of the other levels of college football do about the same, four or five rounds of games. 16 teams the weekend before Christmas. 8 teams (four big bowl games) the week of New Years. 4 teams the week after. 2 team championship game about January 14. Done

Holiday looked way better than Bledsoe. Giannis also is getting his elbow under the ball better on his shot, you can see it on his free throws.

Last year we did a sign and trade with Indiana sending Brogdon to Indiana for a 1st and two seconds. I think we can do the same with Sacramento. BB for DDV and Wilson and a couple of 2nds. They probably want that more than Ersan anyway.
