No way that happens. We will prob stay at 8 although Iowa St lost 2 this week, and both are bad losses.

Random VFL's in the NFL update:

Kamal Hadden (CB)Jan 13, 2025 - Signed a reserve/future contract with Green Bay (GB)
Jerome Carvin - Signed a reserve/future contract with Houston (HOU)
Marquez Callaway (WR)Jan 14, 2025 - Signed a reserve/future contract with Tampa Bay (TB)
McCallan Castles (TE)Jan 13, 2025 - Signed a reserve/future contract with Los Angeles (LAC)
Gabe Jeudy-Lally, Jabari Small (RB)Jan 08, 2025 - Signed a reserve/future contract with Tennessee (TEN)


I'm kind of surprised Aaron Beasley hasn't found a way to get another shot with a team. I believe he was picked up as a UDFA by Carolina after the draft but didn't stick around. I know he wasn't the biggest guy, but he was athletic. Definitely seemed like he was draftable after 2022, but didn't have that good of a 2023 season.

I didn't see anything for Princeton Fant (Dallas) or Ramel Keyton (Raiders). They might've already been on multiple year deals though.

Anyways, I usually try and keep up with this because I like seeing our guys in the league. Plus it's a good look for us if our guys stick around.

Happy Sunday

February 2, 2025: Settle yourself and refuse to get overwhelmed with responsibilities. You do not have to panic. Just remember who you are in Christ, and come into the peace that passes understanding. God will not abandon you. He is with you to bring you through every challenge. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Yup, my concern is his age

He'll be 23 during the 2025 season. What's the concern?

 

[Devo182]

The Luka and Lebron dynamic in LA is going to be fascinating. Both are ball dominant players.

Don't think it's great short term because of this.

It's a move for the future. Luka could be a laker for 15 more years.

 

[JCVol00]

He'll be 23 during the 2025 season. What's the concern?

I thought he was older. I knew he was a RS Senior last year so I just assumed he was going to be 24 or 25. Which 23 is still kind of old, since he will be 28 when his rookie contract is up

I mean, he'll still be 22 when he gets drafted. Pretty standard for a RS senior. I don't think you can hold a 5th year against a guy. If anything I think it makes him better prepared for the job.

SIAP

Best class we’ve had in 20 years. Best back to back classes in 25+.

 

[Ericvol2096]

Data to back up my above post.

Heupel/Spyre has now had back to back classes with a higher average player rating than UT has ever had in the modern recruiting era. From 2004-2023 the highest avg player rating UT had was 90.22 in 2019. In 2024 it became 90.79 and now in 2025 it is 91.02.

This is a game UT wins

Hope you bet on this game. Gotta admit I didn't forsee a win in this situation..

I remember trying to get excited about those Butch classes, but seeing that 88 avg and knowing in the back of my head they weren't really elite classes.

How does this trade affect DK? More minutes or less?

 

[Nash_Vol97]

This proves just because you are rich does not mean you are smart.Cuban has always been dumb. Not sure how reliable this guy is though

Mark Cuban isn’t the controlling owner of the Mavs anymore. He still retains 27% and has some say but not the final and definitive voice he was before selling.

Do you drink wilkins coffee?

That was. Um. Different.

Yep
Reminiscent of the Kansas game years back

 

[Enki_Amenra]

We had 7 scholarship players, how many non-scholarship players played?

Depends. There will be more moves before the deadline

 

[Smokey123]

Laker fans are so spoiled. Just in the 2000’s Kobe then Lebron and now Luka
