Matt Jones Update

Mahaney isn't a PG either. He's an off ball player who can handle but he's not proven to be a guy who runs the team/offense.

Pope's system doesn't really rely on a true PG but I think it's something he needs to adjust within his system as he plays at the higher level. He did well in Big XII this past year, but think you need a quicker/more traditional guard to defend opposing teams and create buckets for you. Doesn't have to look similar to anyone but you need a guy who can do that role.

Hawkins is Wheeler 2.0 height wise but more mature human being. I'd be looking for better players but if he's what you need to get--then hope for the best.
He might not be a true PG but would like to have him come aboard now knowing he can help a lot in Pope’s schemes.

Brea gone....This really sucks

I think it's just that Pope is still an unknown to a lot of kids. I'm hoping he can put together a good enough team that next year he can show the world his fun style of play and what he's capable of, and gain more interest.
I agree with this. Also, alot of kids may not want to go to a school or get into a situation with a first year coach. That has to factor in as well. If I'm a recruit, I would probably want to be at a program where the staff is settled, seasoned, and both sides know what to expect. That's why this first year is so important, and then to build on that going forward.

The Jet is on the recruiting trail

Well, it's a 5 hour flight, even private.

Say if they left at 7am est. They puts then in Vegas around 12 est. If they spend 2 hrs, that's 2pm est. So that gets them back in Lex around 7pm. That's if no delays, bad weather or so forth. There is also travel time from and to the airport. So, no, that's a horrible idea to have recruits scheduled for visits later tonight.

I never said they would be in Vegas 2 days and visit with no one! Why make up lies?

Lol, what theory?

No, it still takes 5 hrs to fly there. Getting there when it's earlier in Vegas time doesn't prevent you from losing it on the return trip. 🤣
I flew commercial from Louisville to Las Vegas and it took about 3 hours and 45 minutes. Most times it’s around 4 hours.

POLITICAL THREAD

It is amazing that Soros who is Jewish, has this level of self-loathing. Because of Nazi Germany he projects his fear, Stockholm Syndrome, by paying his legit enemies in order to buy their protection.
I still want to know what his and now his son's end game is? Why is this one man so divested in the destruction of America and why does he have Democrat politicians eating out of his hand. even with the money and political donations, at some point sanity and common sense have to take over and realize, yeah, sumpin' ain't right. But no, they just keep feeding at his trough and allowing him and the unelected authoritarian bureaucrats in the WEF to shape policy.

- Some of you really need to learn the "ignore" button.

- Who felt worse, Kirk Cousins last night, or Aaron Rodgers when the Packers drafted Love? What a bizarre decision. Cousins' deal is really only solid for two years, but it's insane to engage in tampering (allegedly) for him and draft a QB in the first round. WTF? I can't imagine Penix being thrilled, either.

- I would've loved to see Bowers as a Bengal, but really like the Mims pick. Burrow is going to have a wall to throw over. It's not an immediate impact pick necessarily, but Mims gets at least a season of learning from the Browns, which shows the Bengals FO might actually be exercising some thought about the long term (!) Similarly, congratulations to Billy Jeans, the Titans picking up an OL in the first should feel like a vote of confidence from the admin.

- I didn't read the story (and please, I don't care, don't tell me), but "Trump's lawyer tries to dismantle Pecker's credibility" is an A+ headline.

- Yeah, he's gone, blah blah. Go ahead and call me Petty LaBelle, because I get a perverse amount of schadenfreude from Cal looking like a hostage at Arkansas.
