Just watching the basketball game on DVR. Vanderbilt is lost....... Stack looks like a man with no answers. I think he's gone after this season...... Which is a shame because I really like the guy as a coach.

The new landscape of college basketball is going to be tough for Vanderbilt to navigate.

@Enki_Amenra So one of the bigger PS5 channels on youtube thinks that despite the 2026 rumors that the PS6 won't arrive until 2028 and the main reason why is Sony wants the PS6 to be the most powerful console. Apparently, even though the difference isn't that big, Sony chafed a bit that the Xbox X is slightly more powerful. That extra power didn't show up in early releases because Xbox was late at getting their hardware kits out to devs so a lot of initial releases looked a lot better on PS5 but that evened out over time and now certain releases the Xbox X does look better.

Which is why getting one of Sanders/Petty/Lowe/Gaston and Utley is crucial imo

Getting the 5 star types is great, but even those designations are relative each and every year. A five star this year may have been a 4 star last year or next year. Some of those guys are so far up the development curve as sophmores and juniors that they pop off the page, but if they have pretty much physically peaked, they can get passed on the college fields by lower star later blooming guys. Too many folks use HS stars as ceilings not as probabilities of success.

NFL starter announcements have such a mix that celebrating on signing day or lining up at the bridge is laughable. Would really like to know the % of non 4-5 star guys. ANYBODY got access to that? Sure seems like a lot of misses by the power 5 schools. Harder to tell with all those HS names thrown out there by the players instead of their colleges during introductions. What % of celebrated GA and BAMA OL and DL high star signees DON'T make NFL rosters?

5 and high 4 star guys make me happy, but not cocky on signing day. Odds are a bit better, BUT....... Lower star guys targeted early and pursued consistently by our staff excite me as well. Even some apparent projects do also. So bottom line, establishing a crucial list is a bit of negative posturing I think we can all live without. With NIL and immediate portal solutions it is a crap shoot for sure. Winning on signing day may only get you a development year and a chance to wave at them as they go out the door. Roster management, not recruiting is the driver now. Having the roster spots and the money to entice the service misses down the hierarchy of football after a year or two seems to be where MOST are headed.

@SoilVol

Was looking at Arizona's remaining schedule in conference. Washington St.
Is 1/2 game behind and play at Arizona Thursday.

After that only tough game left is @UCLA .

Also I would't pencil Houston in as a #1 seed, Iowa St. Is tied with them for lead in Big 12 conference and they clash this week at Houston.

If Iowa State wins Big 12 they should get a #1 seed over Houston.

ACC like always is a UNC vs Duke Battle.

This is my favorite time of year with conference tournaments in a few weeks and getting hyped for NCAA tournament.
