Yeah, but all our players only take online classes which we are told by the experts up north are worthless classes.

Going to have to pay attention to Ritzie's academics. The high school he goes to is not good even by North Carolina standards. Not saying that he as individual is unable to do the work and I knew some good kids that went there (lived in Kernersville for 8 years) but it is overall very weak on academics.

He is paid to be elite, not to be good. Do a value of the coach as to what you get for the money and he sinks like a boulder into the ocean. The money he is making says there is no acceptable excuse for his road losses either.

Basketball is very different from football. The lower tier teams get quality players, often better than the bottom half of the Power 5 conferences. Take a look at how Bucknell has done in the NCAAs. They have beaten some good teams and really pushed others right to the end.

Need to put the brakes on this thinking a bit. Remember he was suspended for a game this year and Holtmann indicated it was more about just the one game. It may simply be a clashing of what a player wants to do versus what the coaching staff is asking them to do.

Actually I could see Harbaugh doing a Barbasol commercial.

And even on a half serious note, that lockdown is likely to end after this year if Hafley decides he wants an in-state kid.

This may be the one thing that dents Bama's recruiting. What a shame if it does.

The issue is knowing now and being able to course correct or this summer when it is too late. They are still kids/young adults. Most will do what they are supposed to, some will slack. They pay the price when it is discovered but so does the team.

I have a better bridge for sale. It is located a few miles southeast of San Francisco. Place called Death Valley. But the one in California, not South Carolina.

Supposedly campus is closed and all the Clemson players are at their respective homes. In theory the NCAA leveled the field on practices and contact with coaches.

But did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express recently?

Clearly enough to have your comment removed.

My exact reference I have used to equate how so many government officials have acted. Well played.

Plus that means practice starts beginning of June. Likely not out of this enough to allow them to do that. Feels like the best you could do is start one month earlier.

Lessen the impact of the symptoms, reduce the hospitalizations, reduce the deaths. That would be a big deal even once an effective vaccine is developed.

If it is accurate that the virus came from bats to other animals and then humans the problem is we have no idea with this virus yet as to when it would normally start back up if seasonal. The jump was made likely without a connection to seasonal timing for human to human infection.

Well, the pressure is now on this entire coaching staff to turn these recruiting classes into national champions. Knowing that there is always an element of luck in staying away from key injuries as well as recruits living up to their rankings it feels like anything less than one national championship and 2 other appearances in the CFP over the next 4 years would be a disappointment.

Wolf has in Pennsylvania as well. And they can actually do a lot at the state level. The Constitution places public safety and order at the state level.

Yes they are and yes, it is terribly sad.  But people have to have hope about a return to normalcy.  I know from my parents that people had these same types of conversations during the Depression and WWII and those lasted years not months. 

All we have to go right now is the experiences of other countries that got hit before we did. Of course there are so many variables as to how each country responded and its impact on managing the virus that even that is iffy as a template for where we will be.  On a purely personal perspective I think we are looking at the last of the major hot spots in the country hitting their peak in mid May.  The question will be how the slope looks on the other side.  I think the best anyone can hope for is that by August the last of the shutdowns are over and as a country we are back to where we were in terms of going where we want to go, being in groups, etc.  That still makes a football season possible.  You could even eliminate the non-conference part of the schedule (too bad SEC that you will then have to play a conference game in the weekend before the last weekend of the regular season)

They have cleared him to do the fundraiser.

Correct from what I have read. If the recruit initiates it then apparently it is ok for them to talk.

Henderson saying that for some strange reason is not sitting right with me. It is almost like he is using it to get the other schools to do something to step up their games. Hope I am wrong.

Clearly being in school did not agree with him.
