The interesting thing to watch with state now is if someone comes and offers Keats a bag. They were coach shopping before state got hot and he knows it. He might bounce.

I thought about that earlier. It's a possible and the bag offer is perhaps likely too.

I would bounce if I were Keatts, he was a miracle shot away from being fired and he’ll have to rebuild the entire State team if he stays.

Winning the ACC tournament triggered a lot of bonuses, and a bag of money.  If someone comes at him, they better have deep pockets.  And would a deep pockets team come after a guy who was on the hot seat until the ACC tournament?

That's a good point. From the team introduction, most of the guys playing are seniors and grad students.

I’ve said before, State doesn’t have the NIL brand to be anything other than a Cinderella which sucks because NIL is ruining college sports. Rebuilding this team is going to be tough.

If I’m Keatts and Arkansas comes calling then I’m gone.

Does he have to stay to get that bag or did he get the bag already?

I mean, state was always competitive under Herb Sendek and they ran him off and sucked for years. They always get too big for their britches. If I'm Keats and the check has cleared I'm absolutely entertaining offers.

I blame Linville for this State loss.

 

He said he was done and the moment he came back State has looked awful. Think for ruining a State Nat'l championship.

Wait, I thought you told us all State was winning a ship.  Humble pie is served

They ultimately have to put some guardrails on NIL. College football is already ridiculously concentrated where only a small handful of teams have a reasonable opportunity of competing and basketball will get the same way of they don't do something.

Purdue definitely has enough to beat UConn…but Bama can score with anyone and they ain’t rolling over here

I think UConn and Purdue are the two best teams but I can't see Purdue beating them. It's just a bad match up. Bama runa completely hit or cold. Hot Bama can beat anybody. Cold Bama can get beat by anybody.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
