What do you expect from Catholics? They are the worst.

Nijel Pack started on a team that made it to the final four
I took "The Mind of a Serial Killer" at Kansas State back around '06 and it was a, very dark, but delightful class. The homicide detective that got BTK spent an entire 8 hour day talking to our class about the case. He looked and sounded very similarly to Al Pacino which made it even more fun.
Seems weird to build up a program to be a perennial top 20 team, win a Natty, and bail for another program. How often does that happen? I don't think very often which is why I don't see Drew leaving Baylor. Seems like he has a good thing going and he can be there as long as he wants with limited pressure from fans/AD/UP.This is true but Baylor is arguably the "lowest profile" school to win a championship in recent memory. Villanova is probably the closest comparison?
You guys remember having Denis and Jake on the court at the same time? If not, it was either peak WildWildCat bb fun, or second to last year.Denis + Jake was a close second to last year.
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?
just curious, what do you think DNG has to gain by portaling?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.

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.
