I think he will declare, but won’t sign an agent. Go through some workouts, get evaluated, and then make a decision. His “camp” is completely silent on the subject, BTW. I’ve been putting feelers out and nothing.

I’d beat the brakes off of that!

Most mocks I’ve seen have him in the 2nd round. For whatever that’s worth....

?

Let’s trade all our picks this year so we have 32 7th round picks in 2019 and 2020.

? This board needs an enema. Mods?

I’m thinking my shotgun and a case of shells.

My mom sells Fenton Glass on EBay. Has half the house filled up with the crap. My old man is about to move into the garage., I don’t get the appeal. It all looks like grandma’s candy dish to me.

College yearbooks? Are those from back in the day when Gugny swam naked with his classmates in gym class?

Careful. We may be on the cusp of having AJ McCarron as our starting QB this season.

I have some additional insight, as one of my former assistant coaches was a “pastor in training” for one of these progressive churches. The main guy who started the original Mission City Church out at the mall, is from North Carolina. He brought up a bunch of his people from North Carolina, and have since expanded to where they have 4 or 5 locations. While they proclaim to be progressive and accepting of all, they do not embrace homosexuality or same-sex couples in their church. They welcome them in the door, but eventually the goal (according to my former AC) is to transform them back to heterosexual individuals with “god’s help.” I believe all of the pastors are male, but I’m not 100% certain.

I was raised very strict Roman Catholic. Mass every Sunday, and bible school before mass. Bible camp every summer, and sometimes during school breaks. After I made my confirmation I decided I didn’t want to go back. My mother was very upset by this, and still today my lack of faith is a bone of contention. Imagine my mother’s response when I told her I wouldn’t have my children baptized or make them go to church. I have noticed that “old school” carholicism seems to have diminished, but there is still a presence in the small town where I live. What I am noticing is an increase in these “pop up” churches appearing in town. Most of them lease vacant stores in the mall, or occupy other buildings that are not churches. From what I can gather they practice Christianity, but it is a lot different than the church I knew growing up. They have a live band at their masses. They dance and sing to progressive music. The pastors, or whatever they call themselves, wear slacks and a polo shirt. Not the ornate gowns that I remember Catholic priests wearing. Seems like a good thing. Perhaps if church were like this when I was growing up I might still be involved.

You.....bastard ?

The guy has toddler sized hands!!

Don’t come into my thread and push me around, pal. If I have cake I better damned we’ll be eating it too. What? Would someone come and take my cake away? I’d like to see them try. Well, I’d like to see them try unless they were really strong and tough. Then I’d just let them take my cake. Why the hell do people say that?

Story of my life, brother.... ? Although I used to work for a landscaper and had to cut lawns occasionally, and the ones I hated to cut the most were those Chem-lawn lawns. The grass was almost too thick, and it was really hard to make it look nice for some reason. Also, it seemed to be high maintainance in that it needed to be watered a ton.

I live in central Vermont near Middlebury. Yeesh, thank you for all the great suggestions, but this seems like a lot more work than I had anticipated ? First of all, my wife and I don’t work from late June until late August, and we travel a lot in the summer, so daily watering is out of the question. We get a good bit of rain here during the summer, however, and if we ever get a long stretch of dry weather I usually am good about breaking out the sprinklers. I think I’m looking for something like what Gugny suggested, but sounds like I need to spread the weed killer like tomorrow, as the ground is beginning to thaw. Couple other products suggested here that I will look into. Thanks all...

I spent a bunch of money last summer having the lawn re-done in my backyard. The previous owners had 3 huge dogs that dug giant holes all over the place, and there was a 6’x6’ hole where a shed used to be. Anyway, I successfully grew a nice lawn back there last summer after it was excavated. I’ve never taken much care of my lawn before, but I’d like to put more effort in this spring/summer. What do you “lawn guys” do to your grass in the spring? I’ve heard of weed and feed. What else do you use? I have a bunch of weeds in my front lawn that I’d like to be rid of. Any recommendations for products? Weed killer...fertilizer? Should I re-seed the entire lawn? Anything else that would make my lawn look better? Also, when do you all start this process? Is it too early now? Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

This thread is really funny to me...

Ommegang has some great beers. Also a terrific live music venue (with camping) just outside of Cooperstown. Saw the Avett Brothers there a couple years ago.

Hey man...it’s all about damage control now. We need depth. We aren’t landing any 2018 4-5 * recruits at this stage in the game. Majak would be a good insurance policy if Sidibe’s health continues to be an issue. Policelli is a 3* kid probably comparable to Matt Moyer. Maybe a little better offensively. I feel like you and I should just talk on the phone ?

Ratboy

Yes. Graduated in December. Frankie Policelli (SF) and Majur Majak (C) are also 2018 uncommitted players linked to Syracuse that could provide depth. I heard they were going hard after Majak, and I suspect they will pursue Policelli as well.

Trey Porter is a redshirt junior PF transfer from Old Dominion who would be immediately eligible. I think he should be on the top of their list. Great defensive player/rebounder whose offensive game made tremendous strides this year. Was his conference’s most improved player this year. There also is the overseas option and the JUCO option.

Absolutely! If Battle and Brissett both stay I think we will be okay. More than likely will be in the grad transfer market as well. I’m trying not to panic until I absolutely have to.
