MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***
I feel pretty good with having signed Sonny Gray at the top, along with Lynn and Gibson to stabilize the rotation. Matter of fact, I’m more wary of Mikolas and Matz than those three. And sorting out the outfield seems to have helped, though there are still some moving parts amongst the...- Aclone

2026 Football Targets
Sadly, it appears that the marvelous @NATEizKING did was not so prescient as to map out a 2026 version of the long running series. Alas! It won’t be done properly, I suppose, but here we are. Could I get a pin please, @Connor_Ferguson? And to start out with, looks like former Cyclone QB (and... -
New Spring ‘24 Roster Updated
No updated heights or weights yet—probably when summer drills start. For those of you who haven’t seen it, the newcomers are all listed. Nine early high school enrollees, the three transfers, and the “walkon” placekicker from Florida. Oh, and grayshirt Carson Rhodes is unsurprisingly listed as... -
“Last Weekend”
CMC: “Fans will look back at last weekend and say that was one of the most important weekends for this program.” He’s referring to the five late official visitors last weekend—who all committed and signed. Those five visitors: David Coffey CB 6’2” 190 Chicago De La Salle Sprinter who qualified... -
Plundering the Portal
First one I’ve seen. 6’9” OT from Princeton and Minneapolis. Looks like grad transfer. https://goprincetontigers.com/sports/football/roster/jalen-travis/21312 -
‘23 Growing to ‘24
Y’know, it’s fun to be excited about all of the young players that we’ll return in ‘24, but there’s really no concrete way to even vaguely project what that future team might look like. Or…is there? I had noticed some similarities between between Brock Purdy’s and Rocco Becht’s (to date)... -
Upcoming COVID Year Decisions?
Super Senior Years We’re nearing the end of the COVID “bonus year” cycle. This off-season will be the last full one where every senior has the option of using their extra year. After ‘24, only players who have redshirted (for the most part) will still have that option. The situation Saturday... -
Raw Speed
I pondered putting together a post on how to illustrate the improvements in recruiting under Matt Campbell. I considered breaking down the incremental advances in recruiting rankings over the past seven or eight years, but that’s a metric flawed at it’s very root. For multiple reasons. One... -
Rising The Program (Part One?)
I’ve been looking at the video of Stevo Klotz’s TD yesterday, and I couldn’t help but think about how much it’s an example of how far the program has come under CMC. In the meltdown weeks, some genius was whining about “Where are all of those great recruiting classes?” I’m not sure if they... -
CB Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman Commits
From Minnesota. Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman commits. Expected to play corner. https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/khijohnn-cummings-coleman-299427?view=pv https://www.on3.com/db/khijohnn-cummings-coleman-161953/ -
That Perkins Disappointment
Okay, so I looked it up. Turns out that Tyler Perkins is actually…SECOND in FBS in punting. Gasp! Moan! Despair! Okay, so he has almost twice as many attempts as the first place guy, but…the horror! Fire CMC and that Langes guy!!! https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs -
Jaylin vs Deshaunte
I keep hearing people moan about how Jaylin Noel isn’t nearly as good as Deshaunte Jones. So, tired of what seems to be blatant disrespect for one young man, I thought I’d look it up, to see if there is any realistic bias for such an attitude. Deshaunte’s freshman year, he caught 37 passes... -
What Heacock Said
I was listening to this weeks pressers, and a couple things Coach Heacock said rather offhandedly jumped out at me—especially when taken together. First, almost in passing, he mentioned the “new” elements to the defense that a player (Malik Verdon, iirc) was going to have to learn. Adding new... -
Last Honors
I have been on this board for a while, so I will share this here. My Dad grew up a Hawkeye fan, on a farm outside Columbus Junction. He and my mom were both Hawk fans (she grew up outside Winfield), but when I left Muscatine to go to Iowa State, he cheerfully embraced my Cyclones. Upon... -
Wideout Brett Eskildsen Commits!
A 10.70 100m may help with that “separation” issue. https://247sports.com/player/brett-eskildsen-46135380/ https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/brett-eskildsen-292517?view=pv -
