Hodge Watch

I hadn't seen this pop up yet. but now that the season is over it looks like it is down to 3 candidates: Messenbrink (27-0), Starocci (26-0) and Hendricksen (27-0). I don't know their body of work over the season, but the finish makes for a good argument for Cap'n 'merica. There was some talk earlier (on Varsity?) about MM being the front runner in their eyes. Maybe others in here have more information on just how dominating the season were for each.

NBA: Should the NBA axe the corner three?

Should the NBA eliminate the corner three?

Interesting piece from Kirk Goldsberry (one of the pioneers of NBA data visualization) in The Ringer. Basically argues that eliminating the corner three would result in more offensive creativity and more entertainment. He shows that the volume of 3s is way up (even by recent standards) while the league-wide shooting percentage is pretty stagnant around 36%, thus many more misses per game. His proposal is in the picture below.

edit to add: I voted yes. The NBA is efficient, but often at the expense of entertaining. Needs a shake up to force more styles of offense. I'd also support making the lane thinner again

Williams & Blum: Portal season continues, Cyclone Women make big splash

Chris Williams and Brent Blum discuss the latest from the transfer portal and why everyone should calm down about the additions. Jada Williams picks the Cyclones and more. Presented by Mechdyne.


Dom Orange — a.k.a. "Big Citrus" — looks to dominate more downs for ISU

NFL: ***2023 San Francisco 49ers***

Seems like there should be an official 49ers thread for this season since Purdy will be the starting QB and a lot of Cyclone fans will be paying attention. I didn't see one anywhere in the forums, so hope I didn't just miss it. Figure it makes sense to have everything about the season (now that it's just days away) in one place.

I'll start with this news from earlier this afternoon about Nick Bosa FINALLY reaching an agreement with SF:

Daniyal Robinson, Eric Henderson, New Head Coaches - clip

I know this is not breaking news now, but I ran across this clip of Daniyal, new head coach at North Texas. He will do great!

And, Eric Henderson, the new Drake coach. Drake is in good hands.

RECRUITING: "I think when I came to Virginia, I was limited in ways. (Iowa State) wants to just break me open, and that's a big reason why I picked them."

@cfchangs9 spoke to Iowa State's latest portal add @Blake_Buchanan4 about what to expect.
