Storr is going to get his 15-30 every game. Crowl and Wahl are both 5-20 point guys any game. Crowl adds the rebounding and assists, where Wahl adds the grit, determination, and "want to". Max has been amazing at time but sometimes vanishes, mainly due to foul trouble. Chucky has been, well, somewhat of a mystery this year. I get the fact that he's lost confidence in his shot, but after that late 3 against OSU, maybe he gets that back. With all that said, my MVP so far has been Blackwell. Now, hear me out....JB has been almost lights out on D! He's shooting 48% from 3. He's over 80% from the free throw line. How many times will we get a true freshman to produce like that (I do expect that Freitag will do that next year)? JMHO!

Why do you think that none of our BBall coaches haven't been poached? Krabby seems like a decent recruiter, is he not good at coaching players up? For me Chambliss and Oliver are "blah" type guys. By that I mean, we don't see much of a recruiting impact from either, and we're not privy to the impact that they make coaching. With the FB coaches departures, at least we know that they are highly regarded. As far as the BBall coaches go, there has been no known offers/interviews made to the best of our knowledge. Paris, Jeter, Bennett and Miller all went on to be head coaches, but they were all under Bo. Are Gard's assistants not attractive to other teams? Are they not highly thought of? Are they not good enough recruiters? The FB coaching changes just has me wondering

I thought there was a thread about this already but I couldn’t find it.

Does the skid end tonight?

Is Blackwell going to play? I can't find anything anywhere. The last I heard McGee is still a bit away.

The stadium thread got derailed a little bit, but there is an interesting personal finance discussion in there that I thought deserves its own thread. I thought this question would be a good way to lead into that type of discussion.

I'll go first.

I haven't planned closely enough to say anything for sure, but I'd like to at least have the financial stability to have the option to "retire" at 55 or shortly there after. I'm a teacher in Wisconsin, so that's the magic pension number for me. My wife has a Roth through her work that conservatively projects to be at around $500k by that time, and I have a 403(b) account that projects to about a couple hundred thousand, not counting increased savings when the kids are out of the house and income is higher.

We live a pretty modest lifestyle in a very low cost of living area, so these numbers will provide us with a pretty decent level of comfort in retirement. I'll be 35 in a couple of weeks and have developed an interest in wealth building and investing over the past 9 months or so, so I may set the goals higher yet. We have a total household income of right around $90k right now.

Personally, I don't think that he's ready. A LOT to work on, on both ends! I think, right now, he's a mid 2nd rounder at best.

I'm not sold on Garlock but I hope I'm wrong. Hopefully Hannah and Fenderson are locks! Can we get Rodgers? Thoughts?

Not sure if anyone has been following O$U very closely but Day had announced recently that he was going to hire an OC in a bit of a staff shake up (Hartline will remain).

Well they have hired Bill O’Brien 👀

Such a loooooong list for me! I'm not asking who your best player was, just your favorite. The roadrunner has to be up there for me, but he was when I was VERY young. Grapejuice Johnson was the same (more so because of the nickname) Frank Fulco, Chucky Davis were both highly recruited players, that for one reason or another, didn't pan out like I thought they would. Burke, Spurlin and Borland were machines! Odomes, Vincent and Fletcher were all lockdown corners. Still, my favorite FB player has got to be Dayne! 8-9 man boxes and still ran for a NCAA record.

Bball, my nominees would be, Wes Matthews, Stretch Gregory, Jonny Bailey, Scott Roth, Patrick Thompkins, Devin Harris, Alando Tucker, Ricky Olsen, Claude Gregory, Sam Dekker, Frank Kaminsky, and maybe Hughes. My choice will always be Stretch! He played with a broken right hand (he was right handed) and still averaged 19/9

Who ya got tonight?

Mine would be Trech or Brooks

Nice job Leo!
