This new rule is going to frustrate a lot of players, teams, and fans.  Similar to a WR faking pass interference or hold, a ball carrier could also "sell" a questionable hip drop tackle to get a flag thrown.

Rumors true of Cam Carter entering portal?

PG and SG for sure (unless you can find me a Big that can also shoot from 3 like Tomlin). 

Who is taking on the Kaluma role if we spend our money on two guards?

A team doesn't require a Kaluma role.  But possibly Buddy Rich?  We are going to have plenty of roster spots available for transfers.

i’m probably drinking too much of the Tang but i just don’t see us losing a lot to the portal.

maybe 1-2 guys is my guess.  the roster is really unbalanced and could use adjustments, I just don’t know if it will happen.

I personally think Taj Manning and Finister will hit portal.  I think there is a good chance DNG hits portal as well. 

Kaluma tries Pro/G-league/Euro.

McNair and Perry graduate.

We will need to hit portal hard since we have one incoming HS recruit.
just curious, what do you think DNG has to gain by portaling?

I see it as a McNair going to KSU situation.  In an ideal lineup, DNG comes off the bench as a backup.  If DNG wants to start and that opportunity isn't in Manhattan, there is a good chance he could transfer.

Whoever Pat wants but also keeps Spags happy.  I don't think the organization will let Reid and Spags walk at the same time.

I will be letting my son play tackle starting in the fall...and he will be in 4th grade.  Wife and I were on the fence on this for quite some time for the obvious reasons.

Ultimately, we made our decision to let him play tackle due to the fact we are convinced he will get hurt playing flag.  He has played flag for KCFC for 4 years now.  Last year we played in the top division, and it was super competitive.  There were multiple moments I thought we were going to see a mid-air head bang as the kids were going after a pass. 

My son also plays RB...and he is very athletic at this point in his life.  There were times kids would attempt to tackle and would get more aggressive than they should because of the level of difficulty he presented when going after his flag.  Many of the injuries he sustained playing flag were due to collisions happening trying to bring him down.  He would get a knee to the hip or thigh for example. 

We are moving to tackle in hopes that the pads protect him a bit more.  At this age they at least don't hit each other hard. 

That being said, I don't think every kid is ready.  My son is big-boned.  Some of his friends are super tiny and I would not be comfortable letting them play tackle if they were my kids.

Also - KCFC has weight limits on ball carriers.  That also gives me comfort that these kids aren't trying to tackle a kid who hit a growth spurt at an early age.  If they are too heavy, they are required to be on the line.

Thanks. Its one of those things where starting them early and teaching the fundamentals is good, but also opens them up to more head shots at an early age so I see both sides. I LOL at the weight limit thing. When I was a kid they had those too and it was very obvious that A)it was a self reported thing and B)if they did weigh the kids, one or two teams in my pee wee league starved the kids over the summer so they could hit weight at the beginning of the year. Every year it was terrifying playing them. This dude was a monster RB and just smoked us all.

KCFC is pretty strict on weight limits.  Anthony Sherman took his kid's team to tackle starting last year, and decided not to do the KCFC league because of the weight limit.  I think they play on the Missouri side somewhere.  I've also heard he is running the Oklahoma drill with these kids....which is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. That is Sherman in a nutshell and his group of kids go all out for bball and baseball.  They are peaking early and will get burned out before high school. 

Our coaching staff is going to be extremely anal about fundamentals.  You would think every team would think this way...but I honestly have no idea and I don't trust most people who are so adamant about tackle at this age.

No team in history with 5 Quad 1 wins and zero quad 3/4 losses has ever been left out of the tournament.

Does that count the walk-on that is technically a 4 star?

Speaking with KU fans in the office today, they agreed with me that KU plays better with Dickinson on the bench.  The team becomes too one-dimensional.  HD get the ball down low he shoots it nearly every time.  Very seldom does he kick it back out to his teammates.

They pump JD coming back just to set themselves up to play in Arrowhead in front of 40k fans in an 80k capacity stadium.  Bad optics.

40k is wishful thinking

So are they tarping half the stadium and adding store mannequins and SEX DOLLS to substitute for Tay Tay?

Fair point.  They'll get 40k fans for ISU.  The state of Iowa loves themselves some Arrowhead.

We will most likely be losing Gay and Jones in the offseason (hoping we resign Sneed).  I'm guessing our defense will take a small step back and not be as dominant.  Our offense will have to get better, and that will come with picking up some WRs.

Dude shut up, we averaged over 7 ypp yesterday and you’re talking about adding wrs that we don’t need

Chillax my man.  My response was in regards to Chiefs possibly thinking Mahomes still doesn't need WR's next year given his group this year had a ridiculous amount dropped passes.  If we lose some playmakers on Defense (like Jones and Gay), I do not think the staff will have the opinion that WR's aren't important for Mahomes.

Go Chiefs!  Beat Ravens!

Is Duke's coach very good?  Doesn't seem like it.

Bills fans were pelting Chiefs players with snowballs all game. eff them if their feelings got hurt by our waives

This times infinity.  Bills fans are one of the worst.  They've been asking for this home playoff game since the rivalry started.  They finally got it, and got their crap kicked. 

Josh Allen is Phillip Rivers 2.0.  He will never win the big one. 

Also Bills - get a dome you rough ridin' idiots.

So apparently Duke has already recruited over Ngongda. Maybe he wants to reconsider his commitment.

Who are we talking about?

I'm more curious if the 49% of Republicans who did not vote for Trump will fall in line or vote a different direction (or not vote at all) in November.  This outcome was the least bit surprising when you have a former Republican President running for a 2nd term. 

Also find it fascinating that there seems to be about 60,000 less votes in this Caucus compared to 2016.

does he have the right to come back or can the team say no?

Team can say no.  That is the other side of the portal sword.  Many kids have entered, and their spot was backfilled.  They couldn't go back to former team and didn't have a good landing spot somewhere else.  It's the topic of the portal that isn't talked about much.
