The Basketball Hall of Fame will be naming the finalists for their class of 2025 shortly. We'd be shocked if @carmeloanthony, @DwightHoward, @SylviaFowles, @MooreMaya, and @S10Bird weren't on the shortlist.

@NFLCharean Deion was the most vocal about smaller classes, but how much sentiment is there from other Hall of Famers about this issue (many of whom have benefitted from a lower bar)? Do a majority of Hall of Famers you've talked to want smaller classes?

@clarkjudgeTOF @Profhofcantonf @nflgrattogreats @GridironGuru2 @FHDude @BaxFootballGuru @ulisesharada @readjack @KenCrippen @IKaufman76 @McClain_on_NFL @uptonbell @sdutCanepa Do selectors receive the vote totals at each cut down? If so, voters could collude to only vote for the top five of seven as a protest against the rule changes.

@clarkjudgeTOF @nflgrattogreats @GridironGuru2 @FHDude @BaxFootballGuru @ulisesharada @readjack @KenCrippen @IKaufman76 @McClain_on_NFL @uptonbell @sdutCanepa Congrats to the deserving four but this new process pushed by the Hall is a complete disaster- delaying and creating continued uncertainty for so many deserving finalists and if small classes continue the impacts will ripple through future elections for many years

[Future Football Legends @futureNFLegends]

@Profhofcantonf Have you read anything about how the votes went after they got it down to 7? It's quite possible the 3 who got in didn't get 80% after the first vote.

Eli Manning was a top 15 finalist, but was in the first group of five at that stage to get cut. If the Hall of Fame keeps their "small Hall" rules in place, it could be a *very* long wait for Eli.

[DiPietro & Rothenberg @DRonESPN]

Not only was Eli Manning not voted in as a Hall of Famer on his first try, but he wasn't all that close according to @GaryMyersNY.

[Future Football Legends @futureNFLegends]

@jetfan1 @GregPeurach Four is the bare minimum per the rules they set.

[Future Football Legends @futureNFLegends]

Congrats to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025 https://t.co/T6coqwM9Le

[Future Football Legends @futureNFLegends]

@GregPeurach @jetfan1 Rule changes almost guaranteed a small class 🙃

[Future Football Legends @futureNFLegends]

The Modern players who made the top 7 this year become automatic finalists next year, due to a new rule the Hall just created. Only 11 finalist spots left in 2026 since these guys are already there:
🏈 Luke Kuechly
🏈 Adam Vinatieri
🏈 Torry Holt
🏈 Willie Anderson

[Future Football Legends @futureNFLegends]

Guessing the Hall of Fame adjusts the rules again soon. Not sure they thought this through…

[Future Football Legends @futureNFLegends]

The voting rule changes led to the smallest class since 2005 and halts the momentum the Hall had in recent years addressing the Senior backlog. The Modern category is now going to get significantly backed up as well.
