Current state of college hockey in the eyes of Ryker Lee. @MSU_Hockey is in for big 26-27 season.

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

Michigan State is a true National Title contender

One thing they have, that very few teams in college basktball has, is continuity

So much RETURNING talent from a good team

Shout out to everyone who takes the back off the remote control and rolls the batteries around instead of just replacing them.

According to Alex, it looks like Tommy Bleyl will not be going back to Moncton and instead join Michigan State this fall.

That gives the Spartans 10 first round picks on its roster next season.

Hoy se estrenará el que para mi es uno de los casos de diseño más interesantes de este mundial. El kit alternativo de Francia homenajea a la estatua de la libertad, el icónico regalo que el país le hizo a USA para su centenario y que representa los lazos entre ambas naciones. El colorway se inspira en la oxidación del cobre y el tono que tomó la estatua con el tiempo. Los detalles son la clave.

@Chablislodge @3YearLetterman @bordo0715 I say this with 100% sincerity, what TYL does is fine art.

The Tartan Army marched through Miami Beach in full Scotland gear. The most impressive thing about this is their ability to do this in the intense Florida summer heat

The redshirt is dead — and most programs aren’t ready for what that means.

Every scholarship now starts a 5-year clock the moment a kid enrolls or turns 19. No extensions. No medical freezes.

That changes recruiting, roster building, and player development in one stroke.
Birthday math is now part of every offer conversation. A kid who turns 19 before he steps on campus has already burned time. Coaches who ignore that will regret it.

The portal gets leaner but more expensive. Fewer players with extra eligibility means a smaller pool — and the ones in it will cost more.

The programs that win this era won’t be the ones with the most NIL money. They’ll be the ones who evaluate 17-year-olds better than everyone else and stop hiding developmental needs behind a redshirt year.

The margin for error just got really small. @jrichardgoodman @VinnysCorner1 @SergeantMartee @BeholdPaleH0rse #portal #NCAA @latsondheimer @KasselMedia #recruits #eligibility #hssports #coaches #coach

Again, new to soccer, so pardon me, but it seems that even though the US team is worse than England, the US strategy of scoring goals (more than the other team) is working better than the English strategy of *not* scoring goals.
