Dayton vs Miss St

[skullman80]

Nope...have to play Mississippi St in a play in game.

[willeyeam]

They can come out of that group of 4

[Dickie Dunn]

So like kinda in. Should have lost to Duke by less than 100. NC State being in the tournament proper while we have a play-in is a joke.

[Beveridge]

Sweet 16 Pitt vs PSU.

Let's do this!

[skullman80]

I agree they can get in, but it's still a play in game.

Still better than expected when the season started.

[Stoosh]

Briefly interrupting the hoops excitement but spring camp for football starts today and I had no idea this was already here (tangent: Is it me or have the last three months been a blur? Didn't they just play the Sun Bowl like a week ago?).

Chris Peak provided the following rundown of new numbers:
DB Donovan McMillon - 3
QB Phil Jurkovec - 5
DB AJ Woods - 9
QB Christian Veilleux - 11
QB Ty Dieffenbach - 14
RB TJ Harvison - 25
WR Israel Polk - 27
RB Derrick Davis - 34
LB Braylan Lovelace - 35
OL Dorien Ford - 51
OL BJ Williams - 55
WR Daejon Reynolds - 81
WR Lamar Seymore - 83
DL Isaiah Neal - 97

Isaiah Neal shooting his shot with that jersey number. Excited to see what this kid will do over the next few years.

Position changes:
PL confirmed that Dorien Ford has moved to OL. I don't think this is very surprising, as this was rumored from the time he committed. The return of guys like Green, Bentley, and Danielson may have moved this along. Ford reminds me a lot of guys like CJ Davis or Alex Officer, and I think he could turn out to be a pretty solid lineman here.

Jahvante Royal has moved to WR.

It looks like Buddy Mack III has moved back to DB. I'm pretty sure he was mostly listed at LB last year.

One name that stuck out a little bit to me was WR Devin Whitlock. If I remember correctly, he came in as a preferred walk-on. He's pretty small but he was a really good and versatile player for Belle Vernon. It may take him some time, but I'll be interested to see if he can eventually get on the field here.

[Dickie Dunn]

Really hoping Royal's move is due to ability and not general need for more bodies.

[NAN]

Thanks for the update Stoosh. Can't believe we are heading into spring ball already.

[LITT]

hammer the ML tonight

[Dickie Dunn]

Oh indeed

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Hugely to the portal

Welp see ya later

[Dickie Dunn]

Does it on game day. What an dadhole

[NAN]

Lots of portaling out there.

[Dickie Dunn]

Fede out.

[willeyeam]

Oh that's great. Not like they have a good big man or anything that's going to dominate underneath

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Texas A&M corpus Christi has uniforms that apparently came off the discount rack at Gabes

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Uh msu is supposed to be the worst 3 point shooting team in the country

[Dickie Dunn]

Guillermo seems overwhelmed

[willeyeam]

Pitt dominates this game with Federiko imo

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

I am not a fan of just the P on Pitt's uniforms. They'd look much better if Pitt was spelled out.

[skullman80]

Rebounding not great so far.

[skullman80]

That diaz graham fella is no good on offense.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

I think both Spaniards are fighting the good fight

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Could be worse
