Westry is a Swiss Army knife. Combo guard who can also play some SF due to his size/length. Big get.

Sounds like Hunter Dickinson (as expected) is pretty much out of the question. Hoping Judah returns and we land Chance Westry and Moussa Cisse. Then I’ll start to feel optimistic about next season.

Wake me up when Beane starts signing all-pro free agents.

I’m relatively tall, but I would imagine that the horse at least weighs much more than I. Weird question.

Well, it appears that some other elite programs were able to outbid PayCal’s billionaires. Good for Jesse. Can’t knock the hustle. He’ll be an interesting prospect to follow and root for.

He committed verbally a while back, but he and JJ Starling signed their NLI yesterday.

Looks like screwdolph the orange wanged horse.

Again, this is information from a trusted source. This person has been wrong before, but more often right than wrong. But if it played out as this person said it did, I feel like I can’t help but to lose a little respect for Jesse (or at least the family member negotiating on his behalf).

My understanding is that it was a bidding war until the Syracuse group backed out when it got crazy. I know the exact rumored figure, but I’m reluctant to say at this point. Let’s see what happens.

I just heard Kentucky is the favorite to land Jesse Edwards. The Syracuse “consortium” did the best they could to match (and even go beyond) what Kentucky could do in terms of NIL money, but in the end it sounds like Kentucky may end up winning out here. Again, just what I’m hearing from a source. Take it for what it’s worth.

It’s my understanding that there are some very wealthy alums that are in line to take his place.

I’ve been hearing since before JB announced his retirement that the University was going to “push out” Adam Weitsman after this season. They weren’t pleased with his involvement. Take that for what it’s worth…

Bit of a stretch here, but could this be because they know they have a good shot at Hunter Dickinson? I love Jesse, but Hunter would be an upgrade 😂

Headed to PPP in 3…2…1… 😂

I know it won’t happen, but I’d love to see Izzy go back up to light heavyweight one more time and fight Jiri 🫣

Either one would be excellent. Who next for Izzy though? From his post-fight comments, it doesn’t seem as though he’s into a Periera trilogy.

I don’t know this to be true, and I can’t remember where I picked it up, but I thought that during medieval times it was believed that rabbits could reproduce without fornicating. Thus, a connection was made with the Virgin Mary. How the folklore of the Easter bunny hiding eggs and all the other stuff…no clue. Again, I could be way off. 😂 I suppose the one good thing about Easter for me is just relaxing with family. We typically have a big breakfast and then go for a walk or a hike as a family if it’s nice out like today. Then come home and have a couple mimosas or whatever and lay around the house. This afternoon we’re having a Mario Cart tournament. Good stuff.

Easter is my least favorite holiday, but I’m not religious. I hate ham and for some reason my wife always has to make it. I even volunteered to make lasagna instead 🤷🏾‍♂️ Kids waking up at 6am to start eating their candy 🤦🏾‍♂️

Great fight for Izzy and what a celly! Israel always fights best against fighters who try to push the pace. Who’s next? Du Plessis? I don’t think he wants Khamzat yet…although that would be a HUGE 💰 maker. Loved the Curtis/Gastelum fight too. Striking clinic.

I feel like this is common. I was always totally right handed for everything except lacrosse. For some reason I was always pretty much ambidextrous with a lacrosse stick. Even when I was very young. I could swing a baseball bat pretty well left handed too. Anything involving precise fine-motor I’m all right handed though…

I was remarking to my son just before his unreal assist that Dahlin has looked “off” the past few games. Man, it seemed to happen after Stillman’s hit, but Rasmus when absolutely beast mode today. What an incredible game. Credit to Mitts who played out of his mind also…even beyond his goals. Very exciting. I was bummed to see that the zebras screwed with Devon’s ritual with his water bottle. Gotta find a way around that. LGO Caps and Flyers!!!

That’s another way of looking at it, but the rumor going around is that Beane may be looking to trade up for an offensive skill player or o-line. In my opinion, there will be quality NFL starting caliber offensive linemen available at 27 and well into the 2nd round. I can’t think of a single offensive skill player, other than Bijan Robinson, that would be worth trading up for. Certainly none of the WRs, IMO. Which players do you think are worth giving up precious draft assets for? Especially since you claim that this draft is “pretty weak from top to bottom.” A statement with which I don’t entirely disagree.

I don’t understand why Beane would move up, giving up valuable draft assets, to get anyone other than Bijan Robinson (and I wouldn’t like that move, personally). I don’t think there are any WRs worth moving up for, and I think a plug and play OL could be had at 27. This feels to me like BS.

Yeah, I think he could play both guard positions and even some SF.

Didn’t play much. Knee injury led to medical redshirt.
