FB | Recruiting KC

What may help the Cyclones in FB recruiting in KC is Cyclone FB-recruit Mason Miller's father, Todd Miller.

Todd is leaving his position as head coach at Pine Creek HS, Colo. and picking back up at Lee's Summit, Mo.

In 19 yrs at Pine Creek he won four state titles, runner-up twice, semi-final runs 10 times, won his league 15 times, and leaves with a record of 192-40. Pine Creek moved to 5A, the largest class, in 2022.

OT Colorado and Deion

I know this is a cyclone board but with the Buffs entering back into the conference I found this article pretty fitting. I feel that Colorado is kind of a brittle program. They may bring talent in due to hot shot names but that won’t cut it without a coach that knows how to build a player up to their full potential. Also, nice little ending to the article about Iowa State.

Shooters and Scorers

Big Rob’s thread got me thinking about past years.
This team doesn’t seem to have a “go to” player, a scorer or a shooter. Get points when needed.
They just grind.
Jake Sullivan and Matt Thomas were shooters.
Jeff Grayer and Marcus Fixer were scorers.
Freddy and Georges were hybrids, a mix of both.
Imagine what this team could be with one or the other, or both!

Online Media Bias Chart

This is a different version of the more detailed media bias charts you often find. This is ratings for online, US political content only. I came upon it after trying to check a site I was reading and detecting heavy bias in their commentary. Sure enough the site was in one of the extreme columns.

I post this chart here to get opinions on it's validity. Is this a credible site to rate bias? or are they biased themselves?

Vasketball court markings question

What is the significance of the line on the basketball court that extends from the end of the scorers table onto the court a couple feet? And why does it extend onto the court?

I believe at one time it indicated the coaching box but now that has been extended to a point has way between that line and half court. And this coaches box line does not extend onto the court.

Just curious if anyone knows what this line is supposed to do.

Ticket vouchers for the Iowa Wolves

As part of my work with the Iowa Wolves broadcast team, I've got about five vouchers that are each worth two free tickets to the Iowa Wolves, who of course now have Gabe Kalscheur on the roster. Usually these are pretty good seats, too. It's my treat!

Their first game with Kalscheur is tonight vs. Rio Grande Valley. If anyone is interested, shoot me a DM on here with your email address and I'll send you a screen shot of the voucher.

Here's the schedule for the rest of the season:

Big12 Baaketball Crowds

Can't ever remember so many full arenas and wild crowds as there are now in the Big12. Of course the wvu's,osu's,ucf's don't make it on the big stage often, but everyone else seems to be bonkers about their bball team. Almost every game looks and sounds like Hilton. I think ISU has been a good influence on t he rest of the league

Wrestler Eligibility

I didn’t know about this (from The Rdgister)…


Coach Kevin Dresser said Terukina turned himself in at the Story County Jail on Tuesday following a violation of his probation agreement. His probation stems from an incident in February 2023 when Terukina was charged with operating while under the influence and driving with a denied or revoked license. The OWI charge was dismissed by the court, but he was charged with a serious misdemeanor for driving with a denied or revoked license and placed on probation for one year.

Dresser said Terukina missed a mandatory contact date with his probation officer. The Feb. 1 deadline passed, so the probation officer informed Terukina last week that he had violated his probation agreement. As a result, Dresser expects Terukina may face an extended probation period.

MOVED: Generational Player??????

Exactly what does that mean?

It is tossed around all the time and there seems to be a “generational” college QB every couple of years. Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence, etc.

I would think it is someone who only comes along once in a generation.

Yet, we seem to have a lot of them in the same generation which waters down the phrase.

Everyone is calling CC at eiu a generational talent, however a true freshman at USC is averaging 27.5 points/game. I would think a 3-year span is the same generation.
Seems kind of odd that she isn’t getting major hype.

Rating the returning Big 12 QBs

I was curious about where Becht would rank among the returning college QBs in the Big 12, so I did a search to see if anyone had ranked them. Here's what I found. Unsurprising to me is that they have Alan Bowman, who is entering his 7th year and you would think would be ranked higher with all that experience, is listed as No. 12 out of 16. Retzlaf at BYU brings up the rear. Becht is right in the middle. Shockingly, they have Arkansas transfer K.J. Williams ranked No. 6. He was pretty good two years ago, but putrid last year.

I've seen other publications rank Shedeur Sanders as the No. 1 QB in the league, but this publication doesn't think so.
