him and Griffey jr probably 2 best overall baseball players who ever lived

The highlight for me was Jim trying to dig up some info with some pointed questions and Mullins stated he, Sisley, and Moreno have openly talked together about joining forces and commiting to the same school possibly.

Just got a UNC offer. Gonna end up being a battle.

With Putin's announcement that he'd send troops into Donetsk and Luhansk, and with reports tonight that Russian troops are already rolling through the region, Russia has officially and openly invaded Ukrainian territory. Of course, they were probably already there, anyway, but now there is no room for denial.

This thread is for the foreign policy wonks who got crowded out of the previous thread by the predictable political bullshit. None of that in this thread, please. Let's keep this one focused.

Dell told workers to classify themselves as hybrid workers or remote. If hybrid, they have to work out of an office 40 days per quarter. If remote, they forfeit promotions and getting hired into other Dell jobs.

1/2 chose remote.

It was believed Dell did this to trim their workforce without paying any severance. Dell really only has one set of offices, in Austin. Others are too small or don't exist. I know people that moved back to Austin because it really was the only choice.

Half forgoing promotion is a lot. I suspect many will go elsewhere over time. Apple is having similar issues with workers. It appears workers are still demanding more flexibility.

…doesn’t yet have a realistic view of what it is going to take to be competitive in the B10. He’s filling this roster out with a bunch of former JMU and other Sun Belt level athletes. His arrogance could be leading him to believe that it won’t matter. There may be a sobering, reality check in store for us this fall….

Hoosier fans, let's discuss the latest verbal!

I was blessed to get an in-person look at the Groveport Madison defensive lineman during his college day. He is a good prospect and good person!

I took a look at the '25 BT recruiting classes as they appear to date, as rated by Rivals.

Then looked at recruits for each school that are ranked at 5.7 or over....the thought being that 5.6 is about the average rating for a recruit for the bottom 10 teams of the Big 18....

Giving 5 pts for a 5.7 recruit, 7 pts for 5.8 etc up to 13 pts for a 6.1 recruit....these are the results:

--OSU---18/19 recruits are rated 5.7 or above....1 5.7; 6 5.8; 5 5.9; 2 6.0; 4 6.1......163 points

--PSU---13/17 are 5.7 or above.....4 5.7; 6 5.8; 3 5.9....89 points
--USC---10/11....2 5.7; 5 5.8; 1 5.9; 1 6.0; 1 6.1....78 points
--WIS---13/21....8 5.7; 4 5.8; 1 5.9....77 points
--RUT---14/28...11 5.7; 3 5.8...76 points
--MICH--10/10...1 5.7; 7 5.8; 1 5.9; 1 6.0....74 points
--ORE....9/9....2 5.7; 2 5.8; 4 5.9; 1 6.0....71 points

--UCLA...7/11....3 5.7; 2 5.8; 2 5.9....47 points
--NEB---6/11...3 5.7; 3 5.8....36 points
--WASH--6/11...5 5.7; 1 5.8....32 points

--IND....4/14....3 5.7; 1 5.8...22 points
--ILL.....4/10....3 5.7; 1 5.8...22 points
--MN....3/22...1 5.7; 2 5.8...19 points
--IOWA..2/10...1 5.7; 1 5.8...12 points
--MD....2/11....1 5/7; 1 5.8...12 points
--MSU,,,2/10...2 5.7....10 points

--PUR....1/8...1 5.7...5 points
--.NW....1/17...1 5.7...5 points


Some comments---

--Rutgers with 28 commits will fall some but maybe only down to #7
--Smith at MSU has been less than impressive so far in the recruiting wars.
--USC, Michigan, PSU & Oregon look like they'll be 2-5, in whatever order.
--UCLA's class so far is fairly impressive
--Looks like Wisconsin recruiting has stepped up a notch under LF...but will the team have the same mojo?
--MD's class mediocre to date, as is Purdue's. Bad hire for Purdue?
--KF at Iowa running out the clock?

First ratings # are from 247; 2nd #s are from ON3.

won't be long will cost 10-15 million to field a team, if Ballo is any good, he was a steal . Hawkins is ok but I don't think he's on anyone's All American watch list

Just thought some of you might like to know. The rivalry lost one of its best.
