- I'm not gonna criticize UL for making exotic sports cars and private jets a focal point during its big football recruiting weekend. What else are they gonna do...talk about their crap football program? I don't blame them one bit for the deflection. Besides, every other school does silly stuff like that as well. It's just that those schools also mix in some actual football talk, show game film, etc.
- Apparently, the top HS basketball prospect in the class of '25 is a honk from Maine. And people say America hasn't made any progress!
- Toured Vandy with the oldest on Friday. Admissions counselor sped through a presentation for 30 minutes, spending a good 25 percent of it on "identity information", but not actually talking about stuff like class sizes, faculty-student ratio, the accessibility of professors, etc. I know that stuff has taken over a bunch of schools, but still...you'd think admissions departments would know what parents and kids ACTUALLY care about.
The student panel that followed was really good. Normal kids talking about normal college stuff. I couldn't help but wonder if one of the two white guys on the panel was actually "Vandy Kid" all grown up. Best part was during the Q/A when a student asked if there was a lottery system for getting Vandy football/basketball tickets and the entire panel just broke out laughing with a collective "um, no".
- Physical today. Nothing more fun than that! They get more sobering as the years go on, but always a good wake-up call, if not an awkward one.
- Zalatoris seems like he's got his head really screwed on straight. Matter of time.
- PING! I'm for Auburn because they have a chubby first baseman. And for Ole Miss because they have a slightly less chubby first baseman. And for TAMU because I like their coach. I'm for all the teams, actually. Hope they all win.
