Pirates at work out there on the internet as I was able to see Mel Kiper's big 300 board list. The hell pit of horrors he has CB/S Troy Apke ranked a lowly 290 which is nowhere near high enough to get drafted. The wild mixed signals won't stop with his status but this is not a good sign. Still...

Holy crap you would think the era of rationality has ended. The NCCA Commission, in an attempt to "straighten" out the mess that is College Basketball, came out with a series of recommendations that actually make the situation even worse than before. The want to get rid of the one and done rule...

Again a cliffhanger ( shouldn't be) when it comes to whether Troy Apke gets drafted or not despite the fact most outlets have him going in the 5th to 6th round. But there are still some consequential outposts that have him too far down lists to get drafted at all and that is worrisome. I do not...

The clock strikes MIDNIGHT very soon! Latest gossip is the Browns could take Mayfield at number one. As of yesterday I was getting the feeling they were moving away from Allen and could settle on Darnold. Obviously a lot is still up in the air although most now think the Giants will select...

I saw some of Prather Hudson as I was checking out some spring games. He looked good but will he have a chance to play? Looked in on Nebraska and Penn State on the Big Ten network too. Kurt Warner's son for Nebraska made a nifty move after a catch and bolted down the sidelines for a long TD...

Two more points about the Class of 2020. Caleb Lohner is a 6'7" player to watch. Very athletic he has been climbing up the rankings of late. Nico Mannion is very well known due to a lavish SI piece on him a while back. A 6'2" PG he has not rocketed up the rankings despite leading his team to...

Exactly Chris which is why I believe that getting rid of the Grid Girls is completely an anti female maneuver. It taps into an ancient ritual of fear and hatred of women. And at the end of the day despite some female bitching on the sidelines it is men who ultimately make these final decisions...

And finally the top 150 for next season's freshman, class of 2018. An ok class but lacking the one breakout star that jumps out although there is always potential. Three point guards to follow and they have all been mentioned here: AJ Green, Jordan McCabe and Foster Loyer. Since white point...

Below is the updated top 150 for the class of 2019. This is one of the better classes in memory because six players are in the top 50 a rare occurrence in recent years. I am looking forward to seeing high rising SF Joey Baker in a Duke uniform. 5th rated PF Matthew Hurt who has been mentioned...

Rivals has just updated their classes of 2018, 2019 and 2020. Below is the top 100 for 2020. Not as stacked as 2019 but vaguely comparable to 2018. A little heavier toward the top but thins out towards the bottom whereas 2018 is the opposite. One player to keep an eye on in PF Walker Kessler...

My disinterest in the NBA has reached a pinnacle this season and this from a guy who used to live and breath the NBA. But I have been picking it up a bit as I noticed the 76'ers white players (lumped together as the role players) have been scoring well. And last night I caught a big chunk of...

Following in the footsteps of Donte D another athletic super sophomore SG Kevin Huerter has declared for the NBA draft but like Donte he has not hired an agent. I don't know if this is some kind of macho move by college basketball players or what but I just don't think it is necessary for so...

I just learned about SI being up for sale after reading the article above. The company that bought SI late last year couldn't be more opposite if it tried. Take a gander at the titles of the Meredith Corporation : Ladies Home Journal, Family Circle, Better Homes and Gardens and Martha Stewart...

I actually read the Undefeated piece on Lamar Jackson that Leo refers to above. While some "minor" concessions were made towards mobile white QB's it is telling that most of the white QB's namechecked are either from the distant past or a current player nearing the end of the line like Alex...

A grim follow up on the new Sports Illustrated "experiment" of publishing every two weeks instead of (sort of) weekly. Below is a lengthy article that most if not all of you won't read but it captures the glaring problems with the magazine over the past couple of decades and especially the last...

Villanova hero Donte D will test the NBA draft waters but has not hired an agent. The smart move is to return to school. He would be crazy to go now but next year a leap wouldn't be out of the question. Evaluating him, one more season in college for more seasoning is the correct path. He should...

A small but loud media contingent want to do away with NFL Cheerleaders. A female sports writer for USA Today got on her "jealous" high horse calling for their demise. And in the spirit of getting rid of the "Grid Girls" some want to do away with the Ring Girls in boxing and other events too...

While we are on the subject of the "hallowed" 40 yard dash I have been making the point that pro day 40 yard dash times are timed faster than Combine times. I have also argued the 40 yard dash is not the best way to measure speed. Ultimately the 100 yard dash is the best way but if you must...

Yes sir this one takes the cake and then some. Since when is an establishment raked over the coals for enforcing loitering rules? Blacks are turning into demented infants who think that rules don't apply to them anymore. And they are aided and abetted by the likes of CNN who eat up this "fake"...

Apke ran a 4.34 40 yard dash at the combine. See below --you have to push the you tube to get it.

Gil Brandt, the one with the annoying as hell website, has just put out his Top 150. Since he doesn't go up to 250 which is around the number of draftees (256 I think) it is hard to tell how many white WR's he would list. The only one so far at 126 is Trey Quinn. I didn't see anything unusual...

Following up on JL's post we now have another supreme dumb ass move as talented but raw Drew Eubanks declares for the NBA draft. With another year of seasoning he could have been a border line first round draft pick. He was vastly improving each of his first three seasons. He could have...

No one saw this coming. NCS center Omer Yurtseven has transferred to Mac McClung's new school Georgetown. Odd move. First he has to sit out the whole season which comes as a surprise from a player who has hinted more than once about turning pro. That said perhaps he wants to work with Patrick...

Nothing Phil has said is untrue. Yes a lot of white players get stuck behind black players at FBS schools and the chances of white RB's and WR's playing at FCS and D-II schools are much greater. And while I applaud those white skill players from FCS/D-II schools that do manage to make it into...

The WC is only two months away but it is fair to wonder if it will take place since it is in Russia. And even if it does, which most think it will, the bad blood brewing between the UK and Russia could explode into something with dangerous international implications. But one step at a time. The...
