I didn't see the game but Belmont lost 73-71 believe despite a gallant effort for Windler who poured in 35 and had 11 rebounds. Hope that helps put him on the NBA radar now since he has all but been ignored for the most part. Damnation. I was looking forward to watching them Saturday. Must have...

In the combine thread it was pointed out Wake Forest had their pro day and WR Alex Bachman ran a 4.42 as more heralded (ten times over) WR/PR Greg Dortch ran a 4.49. I would add .04 to those pro day times so Dortch has less speed in the 40 than say Ryan Switzer. You would never know it watching...

Tape is most important but a very bad work out number raises red flags. Highly rated DE Jaylon Ferguson who is the same size as Nick Bosa had his pro day. 32 inch vertical---OK 1.69 10 yard spilt--acceptable 5.12 20 yard shuttle--have a nice life fellow

The 40 yard dash time for defensive ends is pretty useless but the media has blown it up as an important test because every year it seems some black edge players put up fast times. This year's golden boy is Montez Sweat who ran a 4.51 40. The media is still jerking off about it. Running a fast...

I watched the entire game and Belmont won despite their best player Dylan Windler having an off game although he was double teamed and helped in other ways. (14 rebounds) It was a see saw affair but Belmont had a late surge and pulled away. I will miss their next game which is Thursday...

One more to add to my own (crazy) Troy Apke Club. He joins Holcomb, Johnson and Miller. Don't expect many if any more to add to the club but Michael Walker deserves to be added. Unofficial report and tough to dig out and again my earlier prediction was on cue as WR/KR/PR Michael Walker (6'0"...

Will wonders ever cease? Ex Ohio State and now Miami QB Tate Martell has been granted a waiver and will be ready to go this season. Dynamic run/pass QB. But Miami of all places. Talk about a mixed bag of nuts. Hell if Texas Tech WR McLane Mannix doesn't get one then I don't understand anything.

My experience is the NFL Combine site does have all the workout numbers of individual players. I haven't noticed a change in that regard. As for the pro days the result information does seem less centralized this go around especially when trying to garner information on less publicized players...

As predicted by yours truly WR Scott Miller blazed a 4.32 in the 40 yard dash on his Bowling Green pro day today. Was solid in the other drills as well. Miller joins LB Cole Holcomb and S Chris Johnson in my Troy Apke Club. Players that are sensational athletes and performed at a high level on...

When you crunch the numbers like that sure it probably does end up being a shrewd cost saving move by the Angels over the long haul. Keep in mind in the world of sports at large I think the biggest NBA contract is about half of that and there are far less NBA players. Forget discussing the NFL...

My favorite baseball player ( I am not alone) Mike Trout is on the verge of resigning with the Angels for 12 years and 430 million. It would be an historic sports deal obviously but if anyone deserved a whopper deal it is Trout. Now some here may be disappointed he isn't moving to another team...

Apart from Antonio Brown where the Raiders were one of the teams in the running I am taking no stock whatsoever in these rumors regarding Jordy and Hogan. To me these rumors are a bad sign. Most of the signings have been made without any warning or "public talks " with teams. Humphries and...

"The Andy Isabella 40 yard dash mystery" case number 4357. To begin with the combine 40 yard dash has always been shrouded in a bit of mystery. You have scouts and analysts using their own timing devices to time the players. The event also uses a laser which we are told gives us the official...

Great find Dolphin. WR Mason Mangum (5'11 175) out of Texas certainly has wheels. Also noticed his taller WR teammate Jackson Coker, also 2020, can really run too and might be of Division One interest as well. He is # 16 and you can see him congratulate Mangum after his dazzling 99 yard TD...

Just to finish off the topic of girls HS prospects that I started in the college basketball thread Paige Bueckers and her team finally won the state championship last night. Paige however was ill and only scored 13 points. Every big time school is hot on her heels. The best white girl prospect...

Jack L I am not set up to communicate with members directly. Appreciate the offer. You wouldn't know it from my uptick in posts recently but I am dealing with dual problems right now. My schedule is all of a sudden constantly changing and the other problem is I am having internet issues. I am...

While on the subject of the MAC I think DE Maxx Crosby looks to be a player with unlimited upside. He also has a huge chip on his shoulder. After killing the workouts at the combine with jaw dropping numbers for a rangy 6'5" 255 dynamo look for him to become one of the biggest steals of the...

I agree Tannehill is a solid type starter. I think he and D Watson of Houston are very similar and quite frankly I would prefer him over the irritating Mariota. I like Tannehill quite a lot because he is an athletic QB who the media hates but the Dolphins have been too caste for my taste over...

The conference tournaments have been a little disappointing and last night Marquette ball hog Howard went 1-15 from the field. He went to the free throw line 24 times but screwed up the flow of the offense. The Hauser brothers good play was wasted as they fell to mainly caste Seton Hall who will...

Williamson has been turned into a folk hero by ESPN. Certainly unusual. Pudgy( I am being polite) leaper? NBA level hard to say? Many have him going number one. To follow up on JC post above regarding Iowa C Megan Gustafson I want to mention a few more draft eligible girls to keep an eye on in...

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill, who has a very shaky past to begin with, is being investigated for battery. Beloved by the media. The fact is there is nothing the media loves more than a fast black player. And of course when it comes to fast black players we need to be reminded of their speed 100...

Not that I care at the moment but I know we have a resident Miami fan whose namesake just got traded so it leaves open the following question? What will they do now that they have zero QBs? 4 options. 1-Tank the season and get a top rated QB in the 2020 draft. 2-Trade for Josh Rosen. 3-Move...

Ryan Tannehill has been traded to the Titans. As a backup? Go figure. The Titans in reality only gave up a 2020 draft pick as they swapped 6th and 7th round picks this draft. Only for one year but a nice move by the Titans and I sense he will be starting as the season progresses. So far it seems...

After the Patriots Super Bowl win and watching Edelman and Brady tour Disney etc. I was riding high. Even after seeing the combine invite list which included a lot more defensive players than usual, despite some horrible omissions at RB, I was riding high. Most all of those feel good moments...

The Chris Hogan saga is taking a sinister turn. Looks like all that Giants talk was a rat's ass diversionary tactic. The Pats on the heels (see above) of resigning Phillip Dorsett have just signed no name WR Bruce Ellington to a one year deal as well. Pretty much leaves Hogan out in the cold...
