Pretty interesting system analyzed here. ISU is #33 with 51 points. Iowa is #55 with 33 points.
Iowa State has 7 S16 or higher finishes. Iowa has 3 such runs.

I hope I’m wrong, but I’m hearing Jefferson got offered 3 million from another school and heading is their way. Not sure who the school is (LSU most likely), came from a very credible source. If true, I may be done with college athletics!!

Just checking. Haven't seen any complaints in weeks. I'm 99 percent sure we got it taken care of.

Here we go. Want Auburn and Houston. Probably getting Florida and Duke.

OL and Safeties, Coaches Clanton and Broomfield, Players Tyler Miller, Marcus Neal and Jeremiah Cooper.

Clanton said that Miller is at 6’9” 340 now. Wants to work him on both sides for the flexibility, to appeal to the pros.

Didn’t flat out say it, but it seems blatantly obvious James Neal won the LT—and has improved.

Neal is at 335. Looks solid.

Center will be a tough fight. He said that Jim Bonifas is as smart as anyone, and knows the position.

Among the youngsters, the Helton twins are each working at both C and G.

I think he mentioned Garret Rutledge at RG, but apparently he’s a road grader. At 6’7” that seemed odd—but maybe that’s where they’re breaking him in for a year?

*Inference By Omission
When Clanton mentioned a LOT of IOL, did not mention Deylin Hasert. Still on roster, I assume he’s rehabbing.

When Coach Broom was listing all of the current signees, including those yet to enroll, he did not mention Mason Ellens. The (very stretch) inference here is that Ellens may be at corner when he reports.

Assuming he just didn’t slip his mind.

Ellens may wind up one of the fastest ISU football signees ever—my thoughts.

Coach Broom talked about how physical Marcus Neal is. Marcus said he’s working at Star, sounds like we might have a starter. Along with Coop and Ta’Shawn. I think Jamo Patton will still play a lot.

Sounds like Carson Van Dinter is an athletic monster, but still has some learning to do.

Cam Smith and Drew Surges in the mix, too.

Early enrollee Joshua Patterson working at FS.

Apparently along with WR, Ethan Stecker played DL in HS. Interesting combination. He and LaMarcus Hicks will arrive in summer.

Here is the Final AP MBB Poll for the 2024-5 season!

Cyclones finished # 17.

The URL synopsis mentions 2023-4, but this is the final 2024-5 Poll after the Tournament.

From everything I’ve seen and read, so far Jefferson is staying with Iowa State. He’s a great player who can play all five positions. Fingers crossed !!

today at 9:45am, Should be a good listen.

There are good threads on this. Check 'em out!

Monday Musings on Tuesday:

Here's @cfchangs9 on:

I'm not sure I can articulate specifically what I'm wanting to do, but here it goes.

I want to create a system to make a calendar reminder for others to send to their clients. Basically these groups that I want to create calendar invites for have clients that need to do some simple management 3 to 4 times a year. Their clients would benefit with receiving a reminder to do so. It would be a service I provide to these groups to create the reminders that would contain specific information for each of their clients.

Is there a way that I could create a file, like an .ics that I could transfer to the group so they could save it to their calendar then send the invite to their client? I see that I could ask for delegate access to their calendar, but that is more invasive than I would like. Thanks!

He had a rough few years. Many great roles. 65 years old

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.

Not really site feedback - just found this hilarious. The latest headline posted on CF landing page was cut-off and definitely had a click-bait effect on me (Why the f' are they giving up?)

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
