Norm Peterson

He's not in John Rothstein's early starting lineup prediction.

He wasn't in my projected starting lineup.

The average height of a human head is about 9 inches.* I'm assuming they're both standing normally. It looks like he could just barely rest his chin on top of her head. In which case, he might very well have grown over the off-season and is now roughly his listed height. In other words, he could be 6'9" now. * http://www.exatas.ufpr.br/portal/degraf_marcio/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2014/10/Catapan_Marcio_ID970.pdf

There were a bunch of 2021 offers also. Had not heard that about Lakes. Hope it's true.

4-star?

He looks a lot like Nana Akenten.

And this would be number ... Oh, hell, I give up. It's like training monkeys to type Shakespeare.

What's the number right after 8?

The good news is my goal can be reached whether we have a season or not!

I'm hoping people will see a pattern here.

I already had #1.

This thread (don't miss the comments):

You didn't number them.

1. Do NOT be the subject of another one of John Rothstein's "epitome of brutality" buy-game tweets. 2. ... Take it away, guys.

One noteworthy thing: If my math is correct, we have 1 spot currently available for 2021 recruits. We've made about 7 new offers as of Monday to 2021 recruits. ALL OF THEM are high school kids. All of them. (So, Donovan Williams was ... mistaken?) It seems pretty remarkable to me that we'll likely have no more than 2 total freshmen and sophomores on the team next year (not this one, but the next one after this year). The rest of the players will be juniors and seniors. Which means we're just a couple of years away from another virtually complete roster overhaul. With the era of no-sit transferring soon to be upon us, maybe that's no big deal. Maybe we're better off relying on free-agency rather than developing draft picks. But it'll kinda change the vibe on senior night when, instead of looking back fondly on the video clips of a kid playing here as a freshman and then as a senior, looking at your roster and saying , "OK, now who is that guy?"

Looks as though we've busted out a bunch in the last few days. I think Monday was the first day coaches could contact recruits since the end of the late signing period. (Don't quote me.) So, there might have been some pent up energy to make offers and they certainly didn't hold back.

Congratulations! Babies are truly gifts. Enjoy being a parent.

I'm not sure which team's name they were attempting to spell at #5, but I'm pretty sure that's not how to spell it.

Not in my opinion. They're similar. Neither has much wasted motion. But Keisei gets a little more jump into his jumper and he draws the ball back a little higher with a higher release point.

Lemme get this straight: We're tossing long-standing rules on amateurism so that the 9th most-marketable athlete at UN-L, a bowler named Brynn Lambrecht, can haul in a hefty extra $844/year from her name, image and likeness?

I agree he could make a huge jump. Part of what he needs to develop, though, is his hands.

Yes! Compact stroke and very repeatable. Not a lot of moving parts; gets it off quickly; spots up and catches in balance and gets the ball off quickly. Not especially high release. More of a push from his forehead. But it's compact. It's machine-like precision and very repeatable. Kid has game like Max Murrell except maybe moreso.

Wasn't today the day they were going to begin workouts? I could be wrong on that. Haven't seen an Twitter chatter. So, I was going to do this as a poll, but I'd rather have more of a conversation. That said, of all the players, who ya lookin' most forward to seeing, why, and what is it you want to see from them?

I think Hammond made a brief appearance in the Rivals 150 and dropped out of the final rankings for that year, so I never really counted him. But, good memory. I'd forgotten about him until you mentioned it. I was like "Oklahoma?"
