Yes, but when? If we really have 118 in and coming, we need to drop 13 players, and there's not a mechanism for players to move off the roster pre-fall other than dropping football entirely.
That's a cold business to be in, and I'm not sure that I like it.
My guess is that some of those Soph will get hard conversations soon. Between the low level of talent in that class range and the glut of numbers, it's prime for a transfer reduction.
Wasn't joking, was just totally ignorant of supplemental draft procedures. Thanks!
As a Browns fan, toss a 7th into the supplemental for this kid. Those are basically throwaway picks anyway. Cost would be minimal. The biggest downside would be spitting reps one additional way just to evaluate the kid.
Fantastic! Let's hope she works out as well as our recent international guards.
I would have to say
Good luck in your Senior Championship! It looks like I'm going to miss mine this year, as my daughter & family are visiting from AZ that weekend.
I tried the double-pump once on the range, topped it, and hit it about 12 feet, amid much laughter from my fellow members nearby. If anything, it accentuated my tendency to go back too far in my take-away, so probably not something that works for me. But, thanks for the tip!
Fortunately, I did lock in my swing for 4 of the 5 matches in our MM this past weekend. Course & greens were running very fast & firm, with very difficult pin placements...just like how I like them. I love the challenge. Although overall scores really don't matter that much in match play, I was able to shoot 38-40 in four of our 5 matches. In one match, I inexplicably put four balls in the water and shot a 47, our only loss, which was enough for us to miss out on 1st place in our flight by 1 point. That is more balls than I have lost in the previous two months combined! I actually had to run by my house between matches and grab another sleeve of balls as I was down to two balls for the final match of the day. I then went out and shot 38 in the next match. WTF, it's golf.
Thats a huge flip. Hope he is 900% commited

agreed - love this tournament!
Here's hoping Senegal stuns France today
Getting into the swing this season, finally. Had a blast at the Tuesday practice round of the PGA in Philly. Always cool to see the pros work and grind. Got to see Rory and Cam Young side-by-side on the range. You know Cam can bomb it, but when Rory is dropping it 20 past him...jeez.
I've been able to drop from an 8.2 in September to 6.6 now. And that was with taking off from late October thru March. Keeping it straight as much as possible, in control, one more club when able, and put some scores together. Made the turn in 34 the other week (paired it with a 40.) Getting prepped for the senior club championship this weekend. Unfortunately we typically play it at 6,400, but the championship plays at 5,500. Yeah, sounds easier, but there are spots we aren't used to playing from, and shots we never have. Pair that with some winter kill on the bermuda over the winter and the super's refusal to hand water over the past few weeks for crusty greens already, and it could be interesting.
On another note, switched balls this year from the V1 to the Wilson Staff Model. I feel like it's longer off the driver and irons, and I don't have to sacrifice too much spin. And being able to snag them at $30 a dozen on ebay has helped.
Here's to a fun US Open this weekend. If you get under par, you'll have a great opportunity to win it!!!
To be fair, if the NCAA said he's out of eligibility, they can't really suspend him. He's the one banging on the door trying to get back in, then decided to go down the street. The NFL may hit him with something, but that is yet to be seen...
My feeling is some team will toss a few dollars at him (may be a pay cut for him, but that's not our problem.) He was projected a first rounder, so he's got a better chance of making it than some others floating around camps now.
I would suggest that James Franklin has been the source of promise for VT fans. The results and sustainability of the cash inflow are still TBD.
Would be entirely on brand for the UFL to play him for a year.
NIL and the Transfer Portal have truly been tremendous for the fans!!
Been pretty promising for VT fans the last few months. Sad as that reality is.
Damn, did we really just flip a 4 star LB from ND??? This one might last longer than 4 hours...
Seen alot of speculation on the NFL treating him like they treated Terrelle Pryor. Prior had to serve a 5 game suspension to start his NFL career because he ducked out on his five game suspension at Ohio State to enter supplemental draft. Not sure what amount they might hit Sorsby with. Would think at least a season since Ridley got that for betting on the Falcons while he was away from the team.
If thats the case even less likely a team takes a risk on him.
Few thoughts:
1) This is the right outcome. There is no planet on which Sorsby should be playing College Football again.
2) It's very sad and says a lot about the current state of College Sports that it took this much for the people involved to do the Right thing.
3) A bit Surprised Texas Tech is allowing Sorsby to keep the money without some effort to claw back....are we sure he is getting the full $5mil or just the portion paid so far? Internet rumors suggest he has probably received somewhere around $1.5-1.7M so far...
4) So either Texas Tech truly knew almost nothing about his gambling accusations or knew and were simply too careless to place any kind of mitigating language for loss of eligibility/actions detrimental to the team. I suspect they had a very limited (if any) insight into the gambling and were in such a rush to sign him that they didn't do enough due diligence. It is very hard to imagine they signed him for $5 million, knew about the gambling, didn't specifically address that in the contract, and also didn't sign a "back up plan" from the Portal.
4) Fuck Texas Tech. Regardless of the above, I have ZERO sympathy for them.
5) Cincinnati's role in this could also be fascinating. What they knew and when could put them in significant NCAA Jeopardy--meaning they could be punished, but will then sue the NCAA and then have the punishment annulled by a TRO--there is also strong "internet innuendo" that Cincy was the whistle blower on Sorsby when he left for TT.
6) On to the next Lawsuit---next up on the docket---Players suing to dissolve the House Agreement. Welcome to the new era of College Sports---endless lawsuits occasionally interrupted by some actual sporting competitions. NIL and the Transfer Portal have truly been tremendous for the fans!!
That's what I don't get I don't see any teams no matter the desperation of the NFL taking a flyer for this. I'd also ask if the NFL will allow him to enter or if they would even flag the gambling issue?

Not sure if you're joking or not, but the suplimenal draft is a silent auction where teams bid future draft picks on eligible players. I think it's pretty rare to see a team give up a day 1 pick in the supplemental draft, but it's happened before
...could be the highest-drafted supplemental pick in decades.
Isn't there a "first supplemental pick" every year? Is he going to be drafted higher than first?
Texas Tech announced they are mutually parting ways. Sorsby gets to keep the $5M.
Sure sounds like they paid him to go away.
Same here. Had to study the article on ESPN about the draft process. Silent auction is a good comparison. Nobody has to put a first round pick in (and in this case I don't expect it to happen). In reality, there could be a draft with zero bids from any team... or someone like the Cardinals could put a lone 7th round bid in and win. Or if the draft happens and he isn't selected then he becomes a UDFA and can sign anywhere.
