I'd buy that 8 team playoff, but man that's a lot of games.

Yeah, I came here first, didn't see it, posted, then saw that. I'm right, you're wrong.

Liangelo Ball throws his former teammates under the bus.

Can we please marry all the Balls to all the Kardashians and shoot them into the sun?

Honestly, now that Ball's not on the team, I care a lot less what happens to the other 2 kids. :)

FSU has their coach.

Is this really a good hire? Really?

Could be. Always hard to tell with new talent, but I would certainly give him a shot. WKy was 0-26 before he arrived, and he turned that into 2-10, 7-5, 7-5.

USF was 3-9 right before he arrived, and he turned that into 2-10, 4-8, 8-5, and then 10-2.

Oregon from 4-8 to 7-5.

Question is whether or not he can keep recruits flowing to FSU.

I don't buy Taggart.

I think Florida and FSU have been hiring bad coaches lately. Miami was part of that conversation until they got Richt.

Arkansas has a new coach.

The SEC, particularly the west, has to be the most unappealing jobs in the country. Saban is the Belichick of college football. He bends the rules as far as they'll go making it impossible to catch up with him without cheating. Why would you take a job there knowing it's not a level playing field, and your rebuild is essentially doomed until he leaves Bama?

If I did take a job in the SEC West, it'd be for a lot of money, and a guaranteed contract. Then I'd retire.

Tennessee stealing Bama's DC.

The most shocking part of that is he was 31 before he learned that asparagus existed.

I'm still going to say FSU has the better potential hire. But that football-like focus, that's Sabanesque.

Europe to the Balls, "Thanks, but no thanks."

There's a chance obviously, but it would clearly be a publicity stunt.

Maybe they can go to China? Oh wait...

The Balls signed with an agent, so they are no longer amateurs.

The article claims there's interest, but as the one I posted out earlier stated, it'd only be for PR.

By the way, Whitlock reported that Ball had a CC denied, and that's why he began shoplifting. He was the only one of the three to shoplift from all three stores. A stark contrast to the story Ball tried to tell.

Lithuania.
Vytautas plays in the Lithuanian (LKL) league, but it is unlikely the Ball brothers would see significant playing time in that league. Vytautas also plays in the lesser competitive Baltic League, where the teenagers could see more playing time. The team has discussed a role of 20 to 25 minutes a game apiece in the Baltic League, a source told ESPN.

Prienu Vytautas, or BC Prienai as it's often called, is a low-level club from a small, non-English speaking village of roughly 10,000 people in southern Lithuania. The team has been grappling with financial issues and started the season losing eight of its first 12 games in the Lithuanian league.

The team is 4-1 in the Baltic League, its lone loss coming on a forfeiture. The game was abandoned with three minutes to go tied at 65 after the coach was ejected due to some questionable calls.

Vytautas has sparingly signed American players in the past decade, the only one being former Vanderbilt guard Brad Tinsley. He left the team after a month.

The club plays in a 1,700-seat arena; 500 of those seats are reserved for team sponsors and their friends. Tickets cost around 5 euros.

Honestly, seems like a perfect destination for their shit show.

Sadly, the MSM will clamor to get footage. It'd be great if nobody paid them any more attention.

The Tennessee-Schiano thing will probably go to court.

No way is Schiano just going to leave $20 million sitting there. I'm betting Tennessee throws $5 million at him to go away.

OSU goofs up a recruit visit, self reports, and won't recruit him anymore.

I don't know if this means he's barred from picking us? That would seem wrong.

He went to PSU

Different recruit says Meyer's lack of longevity influenced his decision to choose Clemson. Not sure how much that actually mattered.
