The truth about Bond is closer to a cautionary tale about the dangers of portal recruiting/expectations than a lament about how hurt he was throughout the season. Watch as his NFL draft stock continues to fall.
This is a good post. I agree with this take.
I will never, ever, ever in my life understand that throw. Given the game situation, it was one of the absolute worst throws/decisions I've seen.
I followed some advice on this thread and turned down the flames to allow for a longer cook time without incinerating the crust - I'll definitely be doing it more.
That is what jumped off the page to me. Holle is an intelligent, high effort, team oriented defender, but she simply lacks the athleticism to stay in front of quicker guards. She was the focal point LSU and SoCar used to break down the Texas defense. It is very hard to play excellent team defense and stay out of foul trouble when you are consistently allowing dribble penetration, and Holle was getting blown by constantly. It would be one thing is she made up for it by being a mismatch on offense, but all she can do is swing the ball and launch threes. The very reason why she can't stay in front of quick guards is the very same reason why she can't drive on offense. I love Holle and she's a great Longhorn, but she is more suited as a 7th player in a rotation role for a championship team.
Holle's lack of athleticism really gets exposed against the more talented teams. To her credit she maxed out her talent, but she is a liability against top teams.
I just assumed there were no time outs left. Terrible.
Two guys going long at 3/4 speed with one half heartedly coming back. No urgency or conviction. No plan. Mark panics on the last shot.

I'm not 100% sure if this is what you are looking for, but I've used both of these sites and found them to be quite helpful. You can plug in your desires airports and dates and it will let you know what flights are available for what points through whatever award program. You can filter by program, and once you select something that works for you the site will give you instructions on how to transfer your points, if need be.

You can avoid a lot of unnecessary confusion and noise if you can just get it through your head that IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM WAS CHOICE EVEN REMOTELY NUDGED OUT. Full stop. If you feel the urge to try to qualify or modify that statement, don't. That's it. Just leave it at that.
Baker is very, very happy at Texas. I have no idea whether or not he'd leave to go to the NFL, if offered, but he is not disgruntled at Texas.
The men's game is drastically different from the women's game. The men's game is played above the rim and the X's and O's are different. The talent pool is much, much deeper. There is much more money in the game and recruiting is much more competitive. The influence of the NBA is lurking all around and the WNBA's influence doesn't come close in the women's game.
Vic is an awesome coach and exactly where he should be to maximize his success as a coach. He wouldn't automatically excel the same way in the men's game. My advice to you, or anyone, is to simply enjoy the women's game for what it is and the men's game for what it is and stop trying to compare the two.
went to high school at North Shore. Max Melton was drafted in the second round in the 2024 draft, which doesn't exactly happen often at Rutgers.
There is reason to trust Sark when it comes to coaching hires.
