Agreed. Many people would have their head turned at the opportunity to get paid to play in LA for a couple of years. Cronin will know how to use Kyle and hopefully maximize his talent.Meh. I'm not going to hold a kid's feet to the fire over stuff like that. Sometimes you get an opportunity that you didn't even know you wanted until it's in front of you. And even if the only motivation was the size of the payday, so what? That's how the world works.
I don't blame him. Just knew it was going to be said.Meh. I'm not going to hold a kid's feet to the fire over stuff like that.

I would love it if one of the Pac 12 teams comes in and wins the Big 10.UCLA is in the Big10 now, so there is that

I am pretty confident ISU prioritized Jefferson for the last post position anyway so good for Kyle.
Connections with their current or former coaches and also Otz and other coaches can smell the ******** from a mile away. When they meet with these guys in person or even in a zoom call, they're able to tell very quickly by the answers they give whether or not they'll be the right fit.Maybe a stupid question but here goes...
Otz says when looking at the portal “What we’re always looking for is guys who are hardworking, high character and self-aware"
Now how is he going to know all that about a player in such a short period of time? Unless he's looking at guys he's already gotten to know back in high school?
I mean you can get a feel for skill, effort and attitude from game film. But what he describes is personality traits.
ZRF portal destination?So what in the **** are we going to talk about now?
I think the bolded part is true, but is also more than just players he knew from high school.Maybe a stupid question but here goes...

The Big 12 had a lot of late season injuries.I feel that last year's NCAA results is proof that the B12 was a bit overrated. The preseason rankings for next season are the result of the metric manipulation that the B12 was doing last season.
Jamal Shead getting hurt was a big factor. They make the title if that doesn't happen and they would've matched up very well with UCONN's athleticism much better than Purdue did.I feel that last year's NCAA results is proof that the B12 was a bit overrated.

Browsing Nebraska message board, and apparently the UCLA momentum has been building for a bit.
Fair point. What can I say? I like to watch them fail.
Reports vary, but I heard a rumor that William Kyle wore a baggy shirt during a zoom call.Maybe a stupid question but here goes...

You had Houston with a rash of injuries and then the big one in Shead and Roberts wasn't 100%.I feel that last year's NCAA results is proof that the B12 was a bit overrated. The preseason rankings for next season are the result of the metric manipulation that the B12 was doing last season.
