Could be nothing but I wonder what this is about? Same emoji he trolled Dayon with wonder if it’s a connection.

It's official...no more "student athlete"

Although I got a few laughing emojis when I last suggested this, it looks like it might be happening… any predictions on where they’ll host it?

20. Cleveland Cavaliers​

Carlton Carrington, PG/SG, Pittsburgh | Age: 18.8

Teams view the 18-year-old Carrington as one of this draft's true upside swings, with positional size (measuring just under 6-foot-4 barefoot) and flashing the talent as a scorer, playmaker and defender to deliver a strong return outside the lottery. He's still raw enough that there's some downside here, and some scouts felt he missed an opportunity to help himself by playing in the combine scrimmages, but there's certainly optimism around his long-term potential as his body fills out. With the future of the Donovan Mitchell/Garland pairing in Cleveland uncertain, the Cavs could justify swinging on a younger guard at this spot. -- Woo

Liam Mignogna now listed on roster on official site. Shown as Center and 6-9 220.

I find it interesting that it appears the two conferences, who have seemingly been pitted against each other, are on the same page here.

Just reviewed players scheduled for official visits. How did a 6’3” WR slip in the mix?

I know many PGH people have strong feelings about Kenny and the Steelers, but that's not what this post is about. It's about a Pitt man having positive pub (God knows he could use some) and seemingly getting a fresh start for his career.

According to an Eagles reporter:

Kenny Pickett delivers. The backup quarterback looked sharp, sharper than Jalen Hurts, to be honest. Hurts was on the money on his first two seven-on-seven throws, hitting A.J. Brown on a quick inside slant then following up with a nice sideline throw about 15 yards downfield. Pickett, though, was consistently on target. The Eagles can win games with him if something happens to Hurts.

Curious to see who everyone is starting right now? I know on the basketball board lots of talk about minutes breakdown. I love the add of Delalic and think he could start. But he sounds like more of a guard or wing than a 4. Even if the last spot is filled I would imagine that is a depth piece or reserve. As of today what is your starting lineup? I think the Dunn/Leggett talk is fascinating but also very likely both could start if a 3 guard lineup is the answer, I am not against that at all and think it is a definite possibility.

PG- Lowe
SG- Leggett or Dunn
SF- Delalic Austin is more of a 3 I get it
PF- Austin GDG an option here
C- Corhen

Bench
GDG
Kante
Leggett or Dunn
Cummings
JDG

Reserves
Open
Barnes
Ndiaye (maybe redshirt?)

Man, they are still going to suck. Mitch Keller, their best pitcher got rocked. However, there has never been a more pathetic bunch when it comes to putting a ball in play when they have men on base. Sad, sad outfit!

Don't look now, but the Buccos swept the Red Sox at Fenway

Hey we’re not in last!

Is there a list of all June recruits and the weekend they will visit?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of optimism around Pitt football right now, but let's try to brighten the day a bit by looking at a few elements of the Panthers that should be pretty good in 2024.

Get fired at seasons end?

I've been slacking and haven't made one of these threads in forever. 2025 guard from out of Washington DC. Team Durant on the Nike EYBL circuit. Hearing from Kentucky.

Remember yesterday I said, find a judge on your team and you're good. A Beaver County judge sided with the Quips.

We are a nation of judges, not rules or laws. Though in this case, they got it right

what a POS human this dude is.

The one and only spring live period begins today and goes until Sunday.

The major AAU circuits will be the most appealing stops for the Pitt staff.

Nike EYBL and the New Balance circuits will be in Indianapolis
The Under Armour Circuit is in Hamilton, Ohio.
The adidas circuit is in Bryan, Texas.
The Puma Circuit will be in Wichita.

Lets use this thread to post all updates from the weekend.

According to Pete Thamel, the ACC has joined the Big 12 in approving the NCAA's settlement in the House case (one of three anti-trust lawsuits facing the NCAA right now). The settlement is the next step toward a new era of college sports, with the NCAA paying millions to former student-athletes in "missed" NIL opportunities and schools sharing revenue with current student-athletes.

The expectation is that schools will be on the hook for $20-22 million in revenue-sharing and maybe another million or two in new scholarships, since the NCAA is expected to remove scholarship limits (while also limiting total roster size). On top of that, the NCAA is likely going to hold back a couple million from its annual distributions to contribute to the "back pay" for former student-athletes.

The end result is that schools will probably be on the hook for $23-25 million annually.

That's a not-insignificant amount, and I think it's going to lead to some tough decisions for Pitt leadership in the coming years (or maybe months).

I talked about this proposed settlement and what it could mean for Pitt on an episode of the Morning Pitt last week

Unequal revenue sharing based on some type of program value metric rated by some third party entity.

Inotherwords, have some third party determine, how much of the ACC's contract is due to having each team in the conference and pay them accordingly. In exchange, FSU and Clemson agree not to leave until 2036.

Hypothetically, lets say:

FSU: 18%
Clemson: 14%
UNC: 10%
Miami: 7.5%
NC State: 7%
UVa: 5%
VT: 5%
Pitt: 5%
Duke: 5%
Lou: 5%
GT: 5%
Cal: 3%
Stan: 3%
SMU: 2.5%
Wake: 2.5%
BC: 2.5%

2 games per year

Maybe Kenny and Chuck can do the analysis
