Curt Cignetti beat everyone last year without a roster of five-star prospects. Today he got an Indiana five-star wide receiver, Monshun Sales, to stay home. Sales chose the Hoosiers over Ohio State, Texas, LSU, Alabama and others.

POV: the entire IU fanbase after Sales committed

[Nick Rodecap @NickRodecap]

Back in November 2024, Curt Cignetti called Indiana “the emerging superpower in college football.”

One season later, he coached the Hoosiers to a national title.

Today, Monshun Sales became the first five-star to ever commit to Indiana. #iufb

Here I am trying to make sure Laker fans hear this

[Joe Arrigo @JoeArrigo_]

Rob Pelinka is the perfect example of being damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Yesterday, @Lakers fans were saying he was asleep at the wheel, that he wasn’t aggressive enough, and that the front office had no plan. Less than 24 hours later, the #Lakers reportedly land Walker Kessler, Collin Sexton, Quentin Grimes, and Sandro Mamukelashvili in a flurry of moves that completely reshape the roster around Luka Dončić.

Was the price for Walker Kessler steep? Absolutely. But here’s the reality: when you identify a 24-year-old rim protector who runs the floor, rebounds, blocks shots, and fits perfectly next to Luka, you don’t get him at a discount. Utah had all the leverage, and Pelinka knew that if Kessler was his guy, it was going to cost premium assets. That’s the price of solving your biggest roster need.

The bigger picture matters. This wasn’t about winning the transaction. It was about building a roster that actually fits. Kessler gives Luka the vertical lob threat and defensive anchor he’s at his best with. Sexton brings downhill scoring and toughness. Grimes adds two-way versatility on the wing. Mamukelashvili gives the Lakers another skilled frontcourt player with size and shooting.

Fans wanted urgency. Pelinka showed urgency.

You can debate the cost, but you can’t debate the intent. The Lakers identified their weaknesses and attacked them immediately. That’s what a President of Basketball Operations is supposed to do. Now it’s on the players and coaching staff to make it work.

The fact that Hooters hasn't launched a home delivery service called Knockers seems like a missed business opportunity to me.

I watched every game during the dark times.

I watched when Jodie Meeks was our go-to-scorer, Jordan Hill was leading us in PPG, Ryan Kelly was starting, Tarik Black and Robert Sacre were our center rotation.

I am a Laker fan who remembers what it was like before LeBron arrived.
