I'd be psyched with Tubby.

He would be a fantastic hire, and although I think I may want Capel more, I certainly would be thrilled with Tubby.

Gotta think Landesberg and Spurlock would be psyched about that, he is certainly a name that people know.

I'd definitely be pumped by this.

Tubby's the guy, book it.

Really? I would be surprised, but that would be a good hire. I wouldn't think Tubby would leave Minnesota so soon.

I think for Sean Miller that would be a bad move. Grant I could see going. I don't think Capel leaves Oklahoma for Virginia.

I'd be surprised if he turns it down, assuming my info is correct and he is the only guy on their radar for now. He and his wife are from nearby, and what coach wouldn't love to coach in a Basketball conference as opposed to a Football one like the Big Ten.

Capel, same thing. Oklahoma is a football school, always has been, always will be. He'll lose Griffin and maybe Willie Warren too. he'd be nuts not to go if offered.

Grant has the experience with Florida, but I don't know how much having Maynor made him a better coach, you know? The jury is still out, although he'd be smart to take a "big" job now.

Its an interesting decisions...On one hand, UVA has a better tradition, is in the ACC, great facilities and has a hot bed to recruit from(Balt/DC).

OTOH, he doesn't have to compete with UNC and Duke in the Big 10...Mich St is a great program but other than that, he could make Minnesota #2 in that conference.

Of course, a 4th program hasn't really stepped up in the ACC and Tubby could do that quickly since he is a far superior coach to most of the league.

BUt Oklahoma does have a good basketball tradition...I wouldn't fault Capel for not going but I think he is probably an ACC and would go.

Could be a good one...Already has relationships with people in the area in terms of recruiting...Gotta think he leaves after this season, since Maynor is gone.

Isn't the knock on Tubby that he is a great coach but not a good recruiter? Sounds familiar. Texas over Duke today!!!

Capel is an ACC guy, from North Carolina and though Oklahoma does have a decent hoops tradition, I think Virginia is a better job.

Tubby would immeadiately become one of the upper echelon coaches in the ACC (Gary, Roy, K), and I agree he'd have Virginia contending within two years. Tubby and Gary are the two best "coaching up" guys in the country IMO. Guys that play for each of them normally get better each year. Their track records speak for themselves.

We agree on Grant totally. I think Dixon might end up in Arizona (even if Pitt wins it all), so that job will be a big one for a guy like Grant to be a "hot" name for.

Totally, but like I said above, they're the two best at coaching up in the land. Tubby's not the recruiter that Pitino was, and that was his ultimate downfall there. Don't think he wasn't smiling when Minnesota got in and wonder boy Gillespie is in the NIT.

If Pitt opens up there is a 100% chance that Sean Miller gets that job.

Yeah, what is up with Gillespie? I mean he walked on water 2 years ago.

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      By baltfan · Posted

      His Dad is a big boy and obvious lifter.  Some guys are naturally good squatters.  That’s an impressive number for Holliday, but who knows exactly how legit the actual squat is.  You can find high school kids at nearly every high school about his size with similar squat numbers.  Granted, they will be some of the strongest pound for pound kids, but it’s not a crazy number.

      Fair point, but these outliers are squatting like 40% more than Holliday is.  There are likely plenty of guys in the NCAA that can hit Holliday's numbers, and are in his age range.   There were like 50+ guys at this year's combine with a 10 yard split of 1.5 or better or 40 times of 4.5 or better, and 1rm squat correlates with both 10 yard split and 40 time, such that if you hit those numbers in 10 or 40, then your mean 1rm squat would be predicted to be about 2.5x body weight, which would be right around 500 lbs for a 200 lb guy.  If you want to call NFL caliber college guys outliers, I guess?  But Holliday is an MLB caliber guy, so he still fits.   Elite athletes just aren't normal, man.

      The fact that they put this on the 1991 Donruss, perhaps the ultimate peak of the junk wax era, makes this even funnier to me.  If toilet paper ever shot up in price I wouldn't care because I've got heaps of '91 Donruss floating around. This is very true, which makes me thinks he'll get claimed somewhere else.

      It's like the ghost of Chris Davis found him and has taken over his body.   I know bat speed isn't everything, but with the bat speed info that dropped, I took a look.  His average is 70.9 which isn't terribly slow, it's actually pretty average.   For whatever reason, he just can't square anything up.  I hope he fixes it but it's really tough to watch right now.

      Just a few years ago this was the type of guy we would of claimed.

      I believe that the bad umpiring in the major leagues is one of the reason s why the jump from AAA to the majors gap seems larger than ever.

      I agree there are some.  Saquon was power cleaning 400 back at PSU.  I just disagree with the phrasing of regularly. I'm big into Olympic weightlifting where squat numbers are followed closely and I know the time and effort required to put 4 plates on each side of a bar.
