One small school player who lit it up last season. Would like to see him transfer to a big school. Maybe next season. TwentyTwo cited him often last season. Bryce Nunnelly (JR) 6'2" 190 lbs. UTC Big play maker who caught 79 passes for 1237 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Bailey Gaither (see above) was also a highly ranked baseball player in high school. I can't seem to locate it but I remember he ran a sizzling 60 yard dash back then in the 6.3 range which is a testament to his burning speed. Mysteriously he missed a lot of time last season and has been injury...

I can imagine this. After all the drills and the practices the coaches are thinking to themselves that between Jackson and rookie McSorley, neither of which would be confused with Tom Brady, that McSorley is the better and smarter passer and just as good of a runner. So why not elevate him...

No question about it. They say the measure of a person is how they respond to adversity. I guess we discovered that many Cubs fans ( who I used to think were mild mannered like Ernie Banks) and Red Sox fans ( who I never liked) showed their true colors with these incidents. Not an ounce of...

The hits just keep on coming. Great job men and I have high hopes for the next Ohio State head coach. I think he will give his white players more breathing room than Meyer so good call on CJ Saunders. Imagine a specimen that sort of combines the physical traits of Troy Apke and Mike Gesicki...

Ha. There is an old black and white baseball move called "It Happens Every Spring" and every spring there is talk of young white skill players making a mark in the NFL only for them to disappear like rabbits come fall when the 53 man roster is announced. But still I cling to hope. Without it...

Out of rural Kentucky WR Jackson Hensley is also a stud baseball player with 6.53 speed in the 60 yard dash and legitimate 4.4 speed in the 40. Getting some offers but none of the big boys just yet. 6'2" 190 lbs.

Great stuff up above from the dynamic duo here of Red raider and TwentyTwo. Landen Akers (JR) 6'0" 185 lbs. Iowa State. 10 receptions for 181 yards. Not much to write home about but hopefully more of a break out season for this super sonic speedster.

That Bill Buckner and Cubs fan Steve Bartman were treated so unfairly is sickening. Years later the Red Sox gutlessly invited Buckner to Fenway only after they finally won a world series. Buckner had to endure the wrath of most Red Sox fans who are annoying to begin with. And poor nerdish...

Just a tot I remember the Packers after the ice bowl. Watching the tribute film footage of Bart the past couple of days you couldn't help but notice all of the white skill players. Essentially the fleet Donny Anderson and FB Jim Grabowski replaced bruising Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung. I never...

Kismet brother. I typed the very same things (including Howard) and then I saw your post and deleted it. At least the Hauser brothers landed on high profile teams but I knew you wouldn't be happy about Wisconsin which was wooing both of them.

I think this is true. And not being an expert I suspect the steroids being used in baseball ( as opposed to those being used in Track and Field sprinting ) slow down the running speed over time. So many of these Latin players become strong men but lose their speed and flexibility. Barry Bonds...

The toughness of NHL players never ceases to amaze me. After all these years and improved safety measures most of them still don't have their teeth it seems. There was some snap crackle and pop hits last night. And big Bruins D Zdeno Chara was hit on the wrist from a wicked slap shot. Usually...

The French Open is underway and Federer won his first round match. Will Nadal roll out of bed and bag another French solidifying his status as the greatest clay court player of all time? Last year Simona Halep finally broke through and won her first major. Too bad I can't count on her winning...

The Bucks HC is an idiot. He rearranged his bench minutes limiting PC's playing time. Didn't bother to start Mirotic in the last game and in general put a muzzle on the snow patrol. He reduced their playing time and it was noticeable. I know Brogdon reentered the lineup after an injury but why...

Astros CF Jake Marisnick falls into the terrific athlete category who has had trouble hitting a baseball. That skill has killed off so many white baseball speedsters I could write a one thousand page book on the subject. Some of these white athletes would have been better off sticking to...

Interesting that the Panthers have two white studs who in retrospect should have been the number one picks in their drafts. or at least considered in that stratosphere. CM was chosen 8th behind average WR Corey Davis. I recall posting here there was a rumor CM could be the number one pick but...

Tortu looks like he is from the same family tree as my family. Ha. I agree with White Lightening. He has a ton of talent and his potential is terrific. Arguably the most exciting white sprinter to come along since Lemaitre, I too expect big things from Tortu going forward. And I think he has an...

Good to hear encouraging news even if it is too early to count the eggs in the basket. It seems to me this past draft has something in common with the 2016 draft. At the time I and others here insisted both Jordan Taylor and Alex Erickson should have been drafted. I went on about that for quite...

Worth noting 2021 VA commit Carson McCorkle has reclassified to the class of 2020. His status has dropped but he is still bubbling around the top 100. He is a very good athlete and I am surprised his ranking has dropped but then again one must always make room for the budding black players. Life...

The Dominican players and steroids connection is a fertile area of investigation and something I hadn't much thought about until Truthteller's recent posts on the matter. He makes a compelling case and this subject needs to be looked into and pronto. My instincts say his observations are spot on...

Seemed to me the so called genius Gase put a ball and chain around Gesicki last season. The most athletic TE in the NFL and they couldn't figure out a way to get him involved? Hell it doesn't take a genius. Just get out of his way and let him do his thing. Gesicki's second season will be of...

Also worth noting Luca Doncic ( who will likely win ROY) was a first team all rookie selection and Kevin Huerter just slipped in as a second team selection. Huerter has great potential. He represents what is lacking in the NBA. A white hyper athletic SG star. Second round pick Rodions Kurucs...

One final thought. As someone who treasures history I find it horrifying that print media will someday no longer exist. Not sure if that is true but one of the biggest problems in the sports media landscape today is there is little print media to offset ESPN. Sure there is talk radio and the...

The cover above was from 2004. I was already a Federer junkie ( I clipped out every notable article on him) and I became a Maria junkie too. I followed her every move and went to see her play in a night match prior to the US Open. The atmosphere was unreal. She lost to a no name that night but...
