Portal numbers

I would think schools that signed a big money guy would have the present players on the team demanding more cash or they go into portal right before deadline.
It's the wild west out there, LOL. All of this stuff could stop if they would get clear and concise contracts. Even with regards to the number of games played, if players opt out to wait for the draft, or get a better portal offer during the season. At the very least, if a player chooses to opt out, they should not be able to collect their NIL and/or revenue sharing payments. Kind of like when guys hold out in the MLB for a new contract. You don't get paid for the time that you're holding out.

Weird that most of his highlight packages he's either penetrating from the wing or catching and shooting on the wing. If you wouldn't have told me he was a PG, I would have said he's a SF.

Good size and strength, doesn't appear to be super athletic for his frame but can finish at the rim a bit. Release is smooth if a little slow and low. If he is a PG, I don't like seeing that his best year of ATORatio at 1.07 and TO% is at almost 20 (though individual TO% is a weird stat because it includes FGA and FTA so a guy like Mark Wade has a much higher TO% because of him not shooting). I also get a little nervous when a guy is a career .500 TS% guy and then he jumps up suddenly to .653 which is #1 in the Southland last year and would be 7th all-time at UNLV between Michael Johnson and Kas Kambala Hard to evaluate this one because of how different all his metrics are last year compared to the rest of his career.

Assuming Hawaii gets done..Then what?

say they are worth 10 million a piece right now to make it simple. They have 8 member getting full share currently. 80 mil.

Add a Texas state which I don't think is worth more than 750k right now. Honestly I would be surprised if they are worth 500k. They have had some of the worst viewership than any other program, even if those numbers aren't terrible accurate. They are worth less than most of their current SBC teams that have the same issues.

80.75 Mil / 9 teams= 8.9mill per team.

I think UNLV could be worth as much as 8 mill themselves. I mean we are expected to get about 5 mil as a conference in the MW, with the majority of those teams likely worth less than that individually. So some team has to be pulling up that average. It is UNLV and maybe AFA.

88/9= 9.7 mil per team

There's my math, I even showed my work like a good boy!

That is 800k, nearly a million dollars. if we are worth 10 mil which we could be that is an even mill.

I think easily some teams in the current PAC are worth more than 10. I think the 2 PAC leftovers could be worth as much as 15. Boise is probably over 10 right now.

I think USU is closer to 5, the mean of the old MW.
I think Utah State would be near the bottom of the current MWC.

OT: Indoor women and Men’s track Yesterday.

Tennis definitely. Never really notice track. I’ve seen cute/adorable tennis players, girl next door types, and also super hot.
1995 had a really cool trend for women back in the day. tennis Outfits. Hoping to see a come back.

Speaking of Track, Karmelo Anthony’s dad buys a new house with the Donated funds..

You gotta protect yourself from potential death threats.

Tunmise Adeleye faced criminal charges following his arrest on February 21, 2024, at Texas State University. The charges included unlawfully carrying a weapon, evading arrest with a vehicle, reckless driving, and failure to identify. Of these, evading arrest was the only felony charge, while the others were misdemeanors. He pleaded not guilty to the failure to identify charge. There are no publicly available updates confirming the final resolution of these charges, such as convictions, dismissals, or plea agreements, as of the latest information from early 2025.
Definitely worth taking a chance on with that talent! It would be different if assaulted someone or similar.

Pastner's G-Tech Offense

The 1-4 is what Lute Olsen ran at Zona and has always been CJP's base. At GaTech he added in some Princeton principles to the 1-4. Medved uses some of the same aspects of the Princeton to his offense and uses some 1-4 and 5 out. They're definitely not running Carril's version but some of the same cuts and back cuts are the same. I haven't had a chance to watch the video, but I think if the guy reviewing the offense says it's 70-80% 1-4 with some Princteon sprinkled in that would sound right to me.

For those thinking about travelling to the first game this year

We can circle back once this game gets closer, for sure.

There are several places worth going to around the stadium which is good, better than the UH stadium.

I have heard good things about B&B, but have never been. Dating a Vegetarian usually means I don't go to steakhouses much anymore, and I feel like I can do steak better at home anyway. However, Steak 48 is probably my favorite place that I have been to. It is a bit more upscale though.

There are some good places for tacos, but not many "taco stands" that aren't like a food truck. Most are sit down restaurants. But I know of one or two that are good.
Steak is the one thing I always like better in restaurants. The cut has a lot to do with it I am sure. I'm not cooking Snake River Farms Wagyu at home vs what you get at a steakhouse.

Yeah we will see on this one. There is a reason he played for these nothing schools and was a bench player at that for two years. And the other schools recruiting him now didn't indicate a player who made a huge leap. I think he did well in an awful conference and he will be a bench player here. Or maybe a bench player who is forced into starting because that is where we are at now with NIL.
Think Curtis Terry!

OT: Bill would give UNM, NMSU athletics $2.5M each to fund NIL

Collusion, get enough politicians to support it and what are casinos going to say in their attack ads? Politician X wanted casinos to pay more in taxes? Support this politician instead who wants to keep casino taxes nice and low? The vast majority of voters won't shed any tears for casinos having to pay more in taxes.
I like this because it’s true! Lol

I am going to have to get your recommendations for food out there. What is worth my time? Looking primarily for Texas Steaks and a half decent taco shop.
He would know better than me but I can tell you that the steakhouse we went to B&B Butchers was awesome and relatively reasonably priced for a steakhouse. Not Capital Grille or Ruth Chris prices a notch below but tasted just as good.

H.S Ball in Louisville - second team all state. Played two years at Illinois State - bench player getting minutes in most games. Transferred to Winthrop - appears he redshirted for medical ( Ankle and Hip ) . Transferred to Texas Rio Grande - breakout year playing well averaging 12 pts 6 rebounds. Up and down three point shooter But average 42% last year. If he continues to play like last year he could be a piece for CJP. At least he's experienced but he'll be up against way more talented players.

Easy dude, he is now a Rebel, quit characterizing the guy!
The past is the past!
Don’t take the quote literally, it’s a compliment to Adeleye. It’s similar to Romanowski on the 49ers, Broncos, Raiders. Brings a certain element, edge that can’t be taught.

Do they cross the line sometimes? Yes, but they also make your opponents pucker up and keep their heads on a swivel.

We are the university of second chances, get use to seeing a few guys like this annually in football and basketball, it’s more than likely the only way we get 5 stars into our programs!
You mean you want more Rebels? Guys like this play with an edge. Not necessarily a bad thing, unless they start pissing off the zebras. Still, even then so long as the other team fears him its worth some of the penalty yards. Sign him up!
