I've got a few friends who go/are alums of Oregon. Can confirm the facilities are ridiculous.

OT: He's got a sister who can shoot the deep ball.

Erick Green named 2016 NBA D-League All-Star

The game, which is to be played Saturday, Feb. 13 in Toronto during NBA All-Star 2016, will begin at noon MT at Ricoh Coliseum and will air live on NBA TV.

They must be on an active NBA D-League roster at the time of the All-Star Game in order to compete. The league will replace any ineligible players prior to the game.

Not sure if his stint with Utah will keep him from the game (beyond the 10-day contract?), but if ineligibility means he's still on an NBA roster, I'm sure he won't mind.

Maybe he really feels comfortable at the school and this is his opportunity to experience life far from home.

Personally I hope he does well and he enjoys life away from home. I know I did.

I think aTm and Auburn, at least, pay cash for every position group. Is that not what you mean?

So does anyone know who that person is? Is there a reason for their trolling?

I know in recruiting you win some, you lose some, but I just don't get this. On one side of the coin, you have an opportunity to play ball relatively close to home, for arguably one of the best Defensive Coordinators in the game, in a traditionally strong defense with a good reputation and chance for early playing time at a position of need. On the other side, you will play across the country for a team known for flashy offense and high scoring shootouts. No one can argue with Oregon's success and my hat goes off to the program they've built, but come on man. Guess that's what I get for trying to rationalize the decision of a 17 year old. Damn those glow in the dark uniforms.

Watching him this week it seemed like he is still hurting. He may be fast and strong enough with another 15 lbs to play DE. Even if he isn't, they will still want him heavier at OLB. Being 6 3 he has probably has the frame. So I would hope it isn't a risk. Either way I think a 3-4 team is gonna take a flier on him earlier than a 4-3 team.

Key is getting drafted by a team that can put him in as a LB and let him learn how to play zone pass defense. I don't know which teams are which but 3-4s, some teams have every down LBs who are zone responsibility. Other teams seem to put much more pressure on all their LBs. Hope he gives Jason Worilds a call... he probably had to figure all this out and found an organization that gave him the time to develop physically and mentally for the 3-4. I do think other teams would play him sooner than Pittsburgh.

I hope he runs a 4.5...think he gets picked in top 3 rounds... or at least looks unreal in a 20 split or something. Putting 15lbs on your frame is gonna be a risk... running a 4.7 ... still probably drafted but probably much later.

JW got picked in the second round. Combine and interviews will probably determine where Dadi ends up. Someone said he didn't interview well at senior bowl. Hope his agent can guide him to what teams run a favorable 3-4, hook him up with JW, how to interview and show he understands what is involved in a 3-4, and how important the stupid combine is to his future (i.e. run a 4.5 or better).

Great about Adibi Hall but we've had a bunch of highly rated guys flame out. We seem to do better with guys who go a little slower getting to where they need to be but have a more intuitive feel for the defensive scheme.

I don' t know how you screen for that. But I do think that other defensive coaches recruit against us ... and they probably use Adibi Hall as upside for VT LBs. Be as good as you can be, but remember education first. Thats not what aspiring NFL LBs want to hear.

I really believe that we had injured guys this year (and last) on the line. Dadi just doesn't look like himself... he was all legs no arms. DTs we had Baron and Maddy, small and big... I think Maddy still working through injury issues himself... another year of recovery Maddy I think is gonna be much better... hopefully in the NFL.

Anyway I think next year's line is gonna be much bigger and you're not going to see us get pushed around and manipulated as much. That should free up the LBs more.

Also our DBs are going to be working out like crazy after a rough year. They will be better next year allowing the line more time to get to the QBs.... but also allowing more guys in the box.

We got some talented guys on the roster. I really want to see Edmunds (LB) emerge as the next monster to play NFL ball from VT. Gotta keep his speed and agility... another ball hawk or two and Foster can draw up more blitzes... maybe its Alexander next year? I dunno. We just don't have the depth that other teams do. This will get better. Can we use our DL size to get a few guys in the NFL from the DL and LB corps? Thats the big question IMHO. Absent that its gonna be a tough pitch. Data is data and when you got plenty of it on you its a bitch to overcome.

Really hoping even some of the line graduating stick on NFL rosters next year. I know it sounds ridiculous given this year but there is alot of time to workout and fix injury issues.

Absent from the list of roughly 22 teams that will proceed to testing: that other Tech and anyone else from the ACC. So suck it GIT! Just like football! Just like basketball!

Watch this video of the results being announced:

Thoughts that are going through my head:

That music is terrible.

I'd love to have seen Johnny Football announcing the winners.

It's a little unfair that UC-Irvine had Harry Potter on their team. I feel like this should be a "muggle-only competition"

It's fucking "Virginia Tech" or "Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University". Get your shit together.

Whoever accepted the award for VT: Carbombs at Rivermall if I come back to campus and see you downtown.

The guys from Wisconsin seem like the most normal people there.

Do they not have deodorant in the Netherlands?

That kid from MIT is going to be working for Goldman Sachs in five years and will figure out a way to screw over the American economy.

Those nerds lost their shit for Elon Musk. I don't blame them, he's a fucking boss.

Elon Musk is surprisingly awkward. Isn't he supposed to be real life Tony Stark?

A kilometer? THIS IS AMERICA ELON, WHEN IN AMERICA, DO AS AMERICANS DO.

Yeah it isn't glamorous of anything though
