Interesting choice. Just based on the program's stature of recent years, I imagine he will have ample opportunity for playing time there. However -- I don't know the specifics of their roster.

Bennett's comments are correct, and the NCAA is to blame for the current state of NIL. They kicked the can down the road on the issue of player compensation for years. Or to extend the figure of speech to reality, they refused to acknowledge the existence of said can. The NCAA deserves ridicule and scorn for how things have turned out.

Cool idea. -
I think you guys are gonna win...

HA! I played little league with Nick DeLuca. Ithought he was destined for pro hockey, not football. Nice guy as an 11/12 year old..small world.. I hope Rienk's recovery is uneventful

Wow, that's a new one for me. How often do college athletes get caught betting against their own team?
-
My question is why do this? What does he hope to accomplish? He can't seriously think there's a chance they reinstate him after what happened? Bob you need to go to therapy and find some hobbies. Basketball is bye-bye.

There's something about smoking the whole plate that delivers a much more robust bark than the individual ribs. I also feel that the end result is more succulent, but I could be wrong. Similar to you guys, many grocers now seem to just receive pre-cut ribs (either individual ribs or cross-cuts that are commonly used in East Asian cuisine BBQ dishes). I like the braise the individual ribs -- either the classic French approach w/ a celery-carrot-onion mirepoix, tomato paste and red wine, also works very well for barbacoa/birria tacos. Seems like the pandemic has caused a shift in the market or something...when I made beef ribs a few years ago, it was as simple as picking up a plate from Costco. My regional chain grocery store still gets the whole plates and I'll call them in the next couple days to reserve one. I love the thin cuts because they are cheap at Walmart and they finish cooking in like 5 minutes. Preheat my gas grill to just under 500F, sear on both sides and its done. Brainless easy weeknight meal with some potatoes and bagged salad.

grilled chicken breasts...no thanks. In fact -- no thanks to chicken breasts cooked any way that isn't battered and fried. favorite grilled foods -- no order 1. bone in thighs; plain bbq rub and glazed with sauce, or tandoori/shawarma/asado marinade 2. Thin center-cut pork chops 3. Quarter-pounder cheeseburgers, ground chuck or sirloin 85% 4. New york strip 5. Jalapeno poppers Definitely want to do a smoke-fried bologna chub this summer. All the rage on Facebook reels over the past year. Gonna be firing up some ribs next weekend for visiting family. TBD pork or beef. Smoked beef plate ribs are incredible with chimichurri or horseradish sauce, but the cut can be a bit difficult to procure.

I never thought it was about the money from Arizona, and selfishly, I am glad that he committed elsewhere so those rumors could be quashed.

apparently the international rules are bogus. You can pay them, you just can't pay them for their name, image, or likeness. So those insurance commercials that aired during the tournament -- you can't pay an international student for those engagements. R2 received money from our NIL committee this season. This move is perplexing but it probably boils down to money. The rumor is that he is headed to Arizona.

2021 SG Hunter Sallis ->Gonzaga->Wake Forest
bleujay replied to AuroranHusker's topic in Husker Hoops Recruiting
Sallis is intriguing but that's it. I watched his 22-23 highlights, lots of potential. He looks and moves like an NBA player, but that doesn't change the fact he's an unproven commodity. High major coaches are probably wary of his inability to impact the game consistently in the WCC. There were multiple Gonzaga fans in the comments of his transfer thread on Reddit, to paraphrase: 'can't dribble or shoot and has a poor feel for the game'. While in the same breath complimenting his defense. I think CU would offer him a starting spot if Trey Alexander moved on. He has so much potential, maybe it really is a matter of him just not seeing the court enough. But he's had lots of practice time the past couple years with not much of it translating to results. -

I would be surprised if Sallis didn't transfer, but why would Traudt?? He knew what he was stepping into, in a spotlight article a couple weeks ago he seemed pretty confident about his place and future role in the program. I've watched Hunter play, maybe, 10 minutes over the past two seasons. No one on their board can clearly articulate the reasons he isn't seeing the court. I'm guessing Hunter has not shown the skill development he needed to in order to get significant PT. But that's just speculation because I haven't seen him play much..is a change of scenery all he needs?

@Huskerpapamaybe their friendship prevented the difficult conversations from happening. Just a thought. True friends hold each other accountable, but that always isn't the case in professional settings.
