Might give the hitter an extra few milliseconds to read the pitch and react. Possibly advantage hitter on fastball and pitcher on breaking ball.
Opens the door for a Tim Wakefield comeback.

Minny is a market that will support a team. Just need some organizational strength.

Fact still remains that laws are for people without wealth and connections. And not limited to California.

Fortunately they did not Strip Paul before he had some fun.

Good to see another program (actually 2) focused on building a team rather than banking on getting lucky on the 1 and done lottery have success.
Suggs early foul trouble pretty much killed any hope the Zags had but probably would not have changed the final outcome. Gonzaga's other key players were physically outmatched by their Baylor opponents.

Wow. Saleh already had pretty much a blank canvas to work with in NY but they just moved out one of the few workable pieces. Guess maybe 2-15 without Darnold is easier to digest for the organization than 3-14 with him.

Got to think Cronin will be around for a while. UCLA typically attracts some pretty decent talent and he has done a marvelous job getting this year's squad to play strong defensively. I do think their run ends next game and they benefited from Michigan missing their best player.

USC has a chance to upset Gonzaga
Evan Mobley is the best forward and Suggs the best guard in college hoops this year. USC has an advantage from playing a tougher schedule (astoundingly the PAC12 was fairly strong this year). It will be interesting to see how well the Zags big men fare against top level competition but USC will need a Danny Manning level domination from Mobley to win. Also think Mark Few is a tremendous coach and I expect him to use as many fouls as required from his over abundance of big men to impact Mobley's game .. if they are quick enough to stay with him. Suggs will be tested against a quality senior guard but he thrives in the biggest moments.

Zags are built like teams a few decades ago were. The team rarely ever gets top 100 recruits and typically depends heavily upon developed junior and senior players. This year they do have a lock lottery pick in freshman Suggs to complement the older players as well as some key transfers. They are as good a bet to run the table as there ever was.

Will a 'Super League' blow up global soccer? Here's what we know after bombshell announcement
Don't forget the WHA trying to step up against the NHL back in the 1970s
Remember that well. WHA teams were 28-13 vs NHL teams in the 2 years prior to the "merger" in which the WHA teams were forced to give the "big league" NHL teams the majority of the talent on their rosters. If not the result would have been a New England or Quebec vs Winnipeg or Edmonton Stanley Cup in the first year.
