Cyclones In The ‘23 NFL Draft

This is an accumulation of mocks. Not a bad starting point—especially for a small class.

Includes some guys who haven’t/aren’t likely to declare, well down the list. Seeds for the ‘24 Draft, I guess. Easton being the highest I noticed.

I’d expect Will (currently #81), X (currently #108) and MJ (currently #353) to bump up as their combine/testing scores come in. and Trevor (currently #240) may have a similar effect.

I think a great deal depends on whether X can turn in a sub 4.5 40—much the way Breece did a year ago.

Looking at Tech

If it's really true that Batcho and Isaacs are out, that is huge. Batcho is a load inside and on the boards. Isaacs is probably their 2nd or 3rd best player. I still think that it will end up being a close game and TT will muddy things up. Adams is a great defensive coach and we're not exactly hard to defend. Still, the last thing I've read is that Batcho MAY be out with a dislocated finger and Isaacs had a head injury in the KU game and will be a gametime decision.

Obanor is the big offensive threat and if he's hitting, he can almost single handedly win the game for them. At 6'8 235, he's a matchup problem for us. I would guess that with Fardaws Aimaq being a week or so out from playing (we hope), they go small with Obanor at the 5 and Jennings at the 4. Or maybe KJ Allen gets more minutes. He's undersized at 6'6, but at 255 lbs, he won't get pushed around. I guarantee that Osun cannot keep up with Obanor and Rob Jones definitely can't. We're going to have to use our size to score inside and hope to draw some fouls on Obanor. TJ may have to go small at times to match TT's quickness, which would mean Tre King playing some 5. If they play Allen at the 5, then it's going to be up to King and maybe Caleb Grill to chase Obanor around.

Even without Pop Isaacs, TT has some firepower in the backcourt. Harmon is their 2nd leading scorer and had 23 against KU. Jaylon Tyson is a 6'7 wing that hits 43% from 3.

I think that we're in good shape as long as we don't fall in love with chucking 3s and Obanor doesn't go off for 35.

Anyone see the 'horror' movie M3GAN over the weekend?

Trailers have been out for months for the new 'horror' movie M3GAN...thought it looked so stupid. But then reviews came out and they're overly positive and it made $30M this weekend at the box office.

So we decided to go see it. My first gut thought was right. Man that is one horrible movie. One of the worst I've seen in a long long time.
