"Yes it's risky, exhausting at times, tough, far from easy and often absolutely crazy but there's nowhere I'd rather be than in our startup bubble," she writes.

'Rescued' Petunias in an Old Nail Keg
One of my favorite places to get bargain flowers is Lowes Discount table, where the neglected flowers go... I got this pot of petunias there for $1.50. The were sad, drooping and in dire need of a good dead heading, but with a little bit of TLC, sprang back into action! The pot fit perfectly into my old nail keg, that needed something to help it hold it's shape. It's a win/win, I think!
Image link:
Very pretty. You really got those 'tunias going again.
I had to chuckle cuz the footings to our porches were poured concrete in nail kegs- back in the 1920s when the house was built. Several of them were tipping and when we had the porches jacked up and the footings replaced, I got a nail keg shaped piece of concrete for my garden.
I'm usually amazed by the stuff I find discounted. I think they put droopy flowers over there and water them really well, then, while nobody's looking, they get pretty again! I picked up a pot bound, but perfect Calidium, and two lovely big hanging pots of red petunias today!!
Great save and great plant and planter!

If the Attorney General refuses to act, sponsors can apply to the Supreme Court for proper relief.
- In 1999 a law was enacted that any Arkansas taxpayer and voter may submit a written request to the Secretary of State to challenge the legal sufficiency of a statewide initiative petition. Within 30 days, the Secretary of State will consult with the Attorney General and then issue a declaration about whether the ballot title of the measure is fair and complete and whether it would violate any state constitutional provision or any federal constitutional, statutory or regulatory provision, or would be invalid for any other reason. The petitioner, sponsor, or Arkansas taxpayer may petition the Arkansas Supreme Court about the ruling within 15 days of the Secretary of State's declaration.

Virginia Tech Football: Burning Questions Ahead of Spring Practice
Spring practice begins in full for the Virginia Tech Hokies next week. It's the unofficial beginning of the new season, and many questions the fans have regarding the offseason are answered in spring practice.
For head coach Frank Beamer, it will be his 29th season in charge of his alma mater. Many things have changed in recent years, though. Beamer, who is often resistant to change, has shaken up his coaching staff considerably over the past few years.
On the field, results have been mixed. After eight straight seasons with 10 wins or more, Tech has won seven, eight and seven games over the last three seasons, respectively.
With spring practice set to begin next week, here are four burning questions Virginia Tech faces this spring.
UCLA Football: Burning Questions Ahead of Spring Practice
With spring practice less than two weeks away, there are three burning questions when it comes to Jim Mora and the UCLA football program.
Two of these questions relate solely to assistant coaches on the squad. One coach is facing some serious allegations, while another has been awarded a fresh start.
The third question focuses on a new member of the squad. This player enters UCLA with tons of hype and plays the most significant position on the field.
Here are three burning questions facing the UCLA Bruins ahead of the start of spring practice on March 31.
UCLA Football: Burning Questions Ahead of Spring Practice
Graham Glasgow Suspended by Michigan: Latest Details and Comments
The Michigan football program was in the midst of a resurgence this offseason after Jim Harbaugh took the coaching job, but it received some unfortunate news Monday regarding offensive lineman Graham Glasgow, who has been suspended by Michigan for violating his probation.
Angelique S. Chengelis of The Detroit News passed along a statement from Michigan on the developing situation:
Nick Baumgardner of MLive.com reported the following details on Glasgow's probation violation:
Senior offensive lineman Graham Glasgow admitted to a violation of his probation Monday after registering a .086 Breathalyzer test Sunday morning, per 15th District Court records.
Glasgow was given one year of probation on July 14, 2014 after entering a guilty plea to operating while visibly impaired. He was originally arrested on March 15, 2014.
Glasgow admitted guilt in court Monday, and his probation was increased by six months.
Interestingly, Baumgardner noted that Harbaugh recently promoted Glasgow to the top center spot for spring practice. Whether this development changes that moving forward remains to be seen.
This is not the first time Glasgow has gotten into trouble. Baumgardner delved into more specifics, including how Glasgow was suspended for part of spring practice in 2014 and the first game of the season.
The Michigan football program has plenty of momentum on its side with the Harbaugh move and certainly has notions of making it back to a bowl game this season.
This will definitely be unwelcome news in Ann Arbor in what has otherwise been a solid offseason.

Jim Harbaugh Infiltrates Urban Meyer's Recruiting Pipeline with Latest Hire
Two weeks ago, former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel said that in order for Jim Harbaugh to be successful at Michigan, he's going to have to successfully recruit the state of Ohio.
Apparently Harbaugh was listening.
The new Wolverines head coach sent shockwaves through the Ohio high school coaching community on Friday when he announced he had hired Rick Finotti as his director of football operations. The former head coach at St. Edward's in Lakewood, Ohio, Finotti led the Eagles to a 62-15 record and two state championships—including one in 2014—in his six seasons at the Ohio powerhouse just west of Cleveland.
The director of football operations isn't traditionally a recruiting position in a football program, but that shouldn't stop Finotti's hiring from increasing Michigan's presence in the Buckeye State.
"He gets you a foot in the door. You're not looking for a guy necessarily that's going to deliver kids for you on a silver platter," Rivals.com recruiting analyst Marc Givler told Bleacher Report. "You're kind of looking for a guy where, 'OK, this guy has coaching connections in Northeast Ohio, a lot of friends in the coaching community in Northeast Ohio, and when we go in that door, we have a familiar face, a mutual friend, a mutual contact now that can kind of help bridge that gap."
Givler agrees with Tressel's premise that in order for the Wolverines to return to national prominence, they'll need the help of Ohio. From Bo Schembechler to Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson to Harbaugh himself, history is littered with examples of Ohio natives playing key roles in Michigan reaching its highest of heights.
But while Harbaugh was born in Toledo, he spent his college career in Ann Arbor, NFL career across the country and coaching career on the West Coast. Despite his infamous bonding trips to Youngstown during two-game road trips with the 49ers, Harbaugh's ties in Ohio are limited and could be even harder to create with the recent success of Urban Meyer at Ohio State.
The hiring of Finotti could help fix that and will only add to a staff that also includes defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin, who both played and coached at Bowling Green. Finotti's presence should especially help in Northeast Ohio, which typically produces the state's top talents, many of whom have come from his now-former employer.
"He's always going to be a big name at St. Ed's for what he's done there and that program is probably not going to stop producing talent anytime soon," Givler said. "Any connection into that program is going to be valuable."
Harbaugh's hiring of Finotti is just the latest splash he's made since taking over the Michigan program nearly three months ago and provides additional insight into a recruiting strategy that hasn't been hard to figure out. Upon arriving in Ann Arbor, the former Wolverines quarterback unsuccessfully attempted to lure recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow from Kentucky, before hiring Chris Partridge as his recruiting operations coordinator.
Partridge, like Finotti, comes to Michigan from the high school ranks. At powerhouse Paramus Catholic High School in New Jersey, he coached current Wolverines defensive back and former 5-star prospect Jabrill Peppers, as well as defensive tackle Rashan Gary, the top-rated player in the 2016 class.
"I definitely think there's some strategy involved there with recruiting," Givler said of the hirings of Partridge and Finotti. "I think he wants to hit the ground running."
Thus far, Harbaugh's recruiting impact at Michigan has been minimal, at least on the surface with the Wolverines only possessing two commitments in their 2016 class, which currently ranks 39th in the country. As for recruiting Ohio, Harbaugh seems to be taking his time there too, with ElevenWarriors.com director of recruiting Jeremy Birmingham telling Bleacher Report, "Harbaugh has not stepped foot in Ohio at a single high school since he's been hired.
"So I guess whatever in-road he can make, you don't blame the guy for doing so."
Givler, however, has a theory on Harbaugh's recruiting tactics and slower-than-expected pace, noting that Michigan started its spring practice on Feb. 24, which came at least one week—and in some cases, two or three weeks—before most other schools started their spring sessions.
With a new staff and so many unknowns on the Wolverines roster, Harbaugh is admittedly still in the evaluation phase of his process, with spring recruiting still on the horizon.
"I think that was strategic," Givler said of Michigan's early spring practice start. "I think they just said, 'We don't know what we have, we have highly recruited guys that were recruited highly coming out of high school, but were they mis-ranked? Were they mis-evaluated? Do we have talent at this position or that position?'
"I think they're trying to answer all of those questions and then decide, 'OK, now we know what we have, the spring evaluation period starts in a few weeks, now that we know what we have, this is how we're going to attack it.' It's been a little slower than most people expected from a recruiting start, but I think there's a reason for that."
Once that time comes for Harbaugh to hit the trail hard, he certainly seems well equipped with the likes of Partridge and Finotti aiding his efforts. Givler also noted Finotti is a great football mind who could help with X's and O's, game-planning and building a winning culture and could eventually transition into a role as a position coach on Harbaugh's staff down the line.
But regardless of what Finotti's job title winds up, his connection to the Buckeye State can't be overlooked. Both Tressel and history have suggested as much, as any success found by the new Michigan regime will come with an inevitable ingredient.
"Michigan has to have success in Ohio," Givler said. "Whether hiring Finotti is going to be the key to that or not, they need to make moves to make sure they have success in Ohio. I can't point to a time in their history where they've been nationally elite and didn't have good Ohio players on their team."

25 College Basketball Stars We Wish Played Football
March Madness is upon us, which means for the next few weeks college basketball takes over the sports world. This is a wondrous experience for hoops fans, but if you're not big on the game and prefer your college athletes playing football, it might get a little annoying hearing nonstop talk about brackets, buzzer-beaters and Cinderellas.
Unless, that is, you find a way to make it interesting, like envisioning whether certain college basketball stars could hack it on the gridiron.
Over the years a handful of athletes have managed to play both football and basketball in college, and do it successfully, such as Tony Gonzalez at California and Charlie Ward at Florida State. Plenty more starred in both at the high school level but then had to make a choice, and it wouldn't be surprising to hear that some wished they could still double up.
We've picked 25 current college basketball standouts who would probably make pretty darn good football players, too. Check it out and then let us know if we missed any in the comments section.

Notre Dame Football Recruiting Offers of the Week
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After a busy week in which the Irish staff dished out double-digit offers, Notre Dame football was quieter this past week, instead focusing on lining up visitors for the upcoming junior day.
Still, the Irish extended an offer at the all-important quarterback position, and other recruiting happenings rose to the surface.
Each week, we'll be keeping tabs on the new scholarship offers the Notre Dame coaches send out, tracking the recruiting process as the Irish focus their attention toward the classes of 2016, 2017 and maybe even 2018.
Hunter Johnson
Irish head coach Brian Kelly has emphasized the importance of recruiting the state of Indiana. In targeting the quarterback position in the class of 2017, Kelly and the Irish staff were able to stay in state and offer Brownsburg, Indiana, native Hunter Johnson.
Johnson is the No. 1 pro-style quarterback and No. 9 overall prospect in the Top 247 and landed his Irish offer while visiting South Bend on Sunday, according to 247Sports' Steve Wiltfong.
"We got to the school, and the first thing we were going to do was tour the stadium, and they brought me and my family into the locker room area, and they had a thing written that Coach Kelly had sent out because he wasn't there today," Johnson told Wiltfong.
Per Wiltfong, Johnson and new Irish offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Sanford had previously spoken multiple times, but Sunday marked their first time meeting in person.
"The offense they run is similar to what we run at our high school," Johnson told Wiltfong. "I think Coach Sanford and I get along really well. I think we're similar people. I think I could play for him and Coach Kelly, and I think it would be a good situation."
Earlier in the weekend, Johnson took an unofficial visit to Northwestern. The 6'2 ½", 197-pounder also has spring visits scheduled for North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn State and Tennessee, as well as a return trip to Northwestern. Other offers for the signal-caller include Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Cincinnati, North Carolina and Northwestern.
In addition to Johnson's scholarship offer, Notre Dame's staff stayed busy lining up visits for the coming weeks and months.
Class of 2016 linebacker Lokeni Toailoa announced his top seven schools Saturday, and Notre Dame made the cut.
According to Wiltfong, Toailoa is scheduled to announce his commitment March 21. The No. 1 inside linebacker and No. 57 overall prospect in the class received an offer from the Irish in early May but has not visited campus.
Class of 2016 offensive lineman Liam Eichenberg, the No. 11 offensive tackle and No. 82 overall player, has had an April 10 visit to Notre Dame lined up. He's also expected to visit Ohio State the following week before announcing a decision.
Spring practice begins Wednesday for Notre Dame, and the Irish will host a bevy of recruits just a few days later for a junior day. Wiltfong and Loy provide the full list of expected attendees, which currently sits around 30 strong.
Notable names include class of 2016 running back Tony Jones Jr., class of 2016 yet-to-be-offered cornerback Julian Love, class of 2017 defensive end and local standout Corey Malone-Hatcher and class of 2016 cornerback Damar Hamlin, to name a few.

Ranking the Top 25 Colleges with the Best Football and Basketball Team Combos
With Selection Sunday past us, sports fans in America are thrilled about the NCAA tournament. We're making our upset selections, predicting our Sweet 16 and trying to figure out if anyone can take down Kentucky and John Calipari.
At the same time, spring football is ramping up across the nation. While we watch March Madness unfold this weekend, it brings up an important question: Which teams have the best combination of men's basketball and football programs? It isn't the easiest combination, when you think about it. Here's a look at which programs pull off the dual-sport dance best.
Marlon Character Names Top 5: Breaking Down 4-Star DB's Favorites
Atlanta defensive back Marlon Character isn't quite ready to announce his collegiate commitment, but the 4-star prospect is focused on five favorites.
Character named Ole Miss, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia Tech his "top five" during a conversation with Jake Rowe of 247Sports. He also shared his intentions to use official visits at each university.
Despite identifying each member of the group as a desirable destination, he admitted that it's an even playing field at this point.
"I haven't put them in order yet," Character told Rowe. "They switch every day."
The 6'0", 170-pound Grady High School junior is rated ninth nationally among safeties in 247Sports' composite rankings, though several scouts see him projecting at cornerback in college. His skills quickly caught attention from marquee college programs, resulting in a scholarship list that also includes Auburn, Arkansas and Ohio State.
Character recently provided a glimpse of what it's like to be on the receiving end of so much FBS interest, spotlighting piles of recruiting mail on Twitter:
Here's a closer look at the five programs that stand out to Character.
Considering Character's status as a top-tier Georgia recruit, it's no surprise to see the Bulldogs firmly in contention for his services. Coach Mark Richt secured 11 in-state defenders in his 2015 class, including safeties Kirby Choates and Rashad Roundtree.
Character's proximity to the program and rapport with Richt's staff could ultimately give Georgia an edge. The Bulldogs currently lead in his 247Sports Crystal Ball with 71 percent of expert commitment predictions.
"I have a great relationship with all the coaches," he told Rowe. "It's just that every time I talk to Georgia it is always good news and that they want to get me up there."
Richt has assembled a top-10 class early in the 2016 cycle, headlined by No. 1 quarterback prospect Jacob Eason, but just two of the team's seven commitments have come from defensive recruits.
Head coach Nick Saban perennially proves that he can pluck premier talent from anywhere in America, evidenced by 2015 signatures from 5-star New Jersey cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick and 5-star California dual-threat quarterback Blake Barnett. That haul also included elite safety talent from Florida (Ronnie Harrison) and Texas (Deionte Thompson), with a 4-star at the position enrolling early from each state.
Character would encounter an incredible level of competition for playing time in the Crimson Tide secondary, where top newcomers played sparingly throughout last season. After landing four 5-star defensive backs over the past two cycles, Saban also holds a longtime commitment from 5-star Louisiana cornerback Shyheim Carter in his 2016 class.
Alabama extended an offer to Character early in his junior season. However, it appears the Tide may be falling behind in this pursuit due to a lack of personal contact.
"I haven't been talking to Alabama much lately because my recruiting coach for them, coach (Lance) Thompson left for Auburn," he told Rowe.
Ole Miss
The Rebels are off to a tremendous start on the 2016 recruiting trail, carrying 10 commitments in a class that rates third nationally in 247Sports' composite rankings. The team's "Landshark" mentality on defense attracts plenty of attention from key prospects, and you can count Character in the mix.
Ole Miss enjoyed a breakout campaign last season, which was often spearheaded by its defensive stinginess. Coach Hugh Freeze is attempting to fine-tune his team's offensive attack, so commitments from 5-star quarterback/wide receiver tandem Shea Patterson and DeKaylin Metcalf should make a significant impact.
The Rebels are in need of some retooling on defense too and remain in search of pledges on that side of the ball, though former Alabama defensive tackle commit Benito Jones brings clout to the trenches. Ole Miss still hasn't secured a defensive-back pledge in its 2016 class.
South Carolina
Yet another SEC squad in the picture, South Carolina seems to be among the strongest contenders on this list. The Gamecocks hosted Character in late January, and he's seen the program play in person multiple times.
South Carolina currently sits second in Character's 247Sports Crystal Ball outlook, carrying 29 percent of expert commitment predictions.
Coach Steve Spurrier already claimed a pledge from 4-star Peach State athlete Kyle Davis and landed 10 Georgia products last national signing day.
Consider the Gamecocks as Georgia's primary threat at this stage of the pursuit. A personal visit from Spurrier played a key role in securing South Carolina's spot on this list.
"It really did something for me and my opinion of the school," Character told Rowe.
Co-defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward has also spent significant time with Character, serving as a primary recruiter.
Virginia Tech
The Hokies are an outlier on this list as the lone non-SEC team. Frank Beamer and his staff have done quite well with 2016 defensive backs, earning pledges from four prospects who figure to play roles in the secondary.
Assistant coach Torrian Gray has been the catalyst in Virginia Tech's recruitment of Character. His effectiveness should keep the Hokies involved throughout this process and could eventually push the team atop this list.
"(Gray) always makes me want to commit right then and there," Character told Rowe.
Look for Virginia Tech to work toward a campus visit in the near future with hopes of locking in a return trip during next season.

SEC Football: Biggest Questions That Must Be Answered This Spring
The biggest questions of the offseason are obvious in the SEC.
Texas A&M and Auburn need to fix their defenses, LSU's quarterback situation has to be rectified and Alabama's pass defense can't continue to give up plays in chunks and maintain its perch atop the SEC.
Those are the 40,000-foot issues surrounding the entire offseason, but what specifically needs to be solved during spring practice?
Our picks, based on gaping holes, personnel and pressure, are in this slideshow.
Davon Durant Suspended by ASU After Arrest for Alleged Domestic Violence
Arizona State has suspended linebacker Davon Durant, a highly touted junior college transfer due to make his debut with the school in 2015, indefinitely after an arrest on allegations of domestic violence.
AZCentral.com (h/t CBSSports.com's Jerry Hinnen) reported on Durant's suspension, which stems from an alleged incident that occurred on March 7. He is slated to have a preliminary hearing this Wednesday.
According to a report from TMZ.com on Monday, Durant was arrested earlier this month on a felony aggravated assault charge. The TMZ report provided more specific details of the incident:
Cops responded to the scene...where the woman told police she was having an argument with Durant in a black Chevy Tahoe -- when he demanded they she escort him up to her apartment so he could get his stuff (it sounds like they were breaking up).
The woman says she refused to let him inside...and he freaked out -- "hit her one time in the face and then grabbed her around the neck."
Doug Haller of AZCentral.com mentioned the protocol that led to Durant's suspension even with due process still to play out:
The Sun Devils finished 81st in total defense this last season (h/t NCAA.com) and could have used an infusion of talent from someone like Durant to give that side of the ball a spark.
Durant is rated as a 4-star recruit, the No. 6 junior college prospect in the country and the top-rated inside linebacker from the 2015 class by 247Sports' composite rankings. This hype had Durant penciled in for a starting role, but now his future with the program in Tempe is in question.

Adrian Klemm Suspended by UCLA: Latest Details and Comments
UCLA Bruins assistant football coach Adrian Klemm has been suspended by the school for violating NCAA rules.
Kevin Gemmell of ESPN.com tweeted an official statement from UCLA on the matter Monday:
Klemm is near the top of the Bruins staff, serving as the running game coordinator, offensive line coach and associate head coach just below Jim Mora. The program leans on Klemm for a lot of diverse duties, so it will be interesting to see how his absence impacts preparation for the 2015 season.
On the strength of a strong national signing day, UCLA turned in the 12th-best recruiting class in the country, according to 247Sports' rankings. There's no doubt Klemm was instrumental to that momentum, as Rivals.com points out:
UCLA's own profile of Klemm lauds him as one of the best recruiters in college football.
Having played in the NFL as a part of three Super Bowl champions with the New England Patriots, Klemm brings plenty of clout to the recruiting trail and to the UCLA locker room. Based on how high up on the staff he's been, it seemed only a matter of time before a promotion or a head-coaching gig elsewhere presented itself.
Now, Klemm's future is a bit cloudier amid this ongoing joint investigation. The hope for Bruins fans is that the violations aren't too severe and that Klemm can return to the sideline soon enough.

Adrian Klemm Suspended by UCLA: Latest Details and Comments
Would NIT-Like Playoff Tournament Work for College Football?
It's only a matter of time before college football's novel new postseason changes. Because we are a people who want the next thing before we have what we actually have, the days of a four-team playoff are already limited.
Look at it this way: We're entering year two of the College Football Playoff and already alternatives are being tossed around.
TCU head coach Gary Patterson suggested implementing a six-team playoff. (B/R colleague Barrett Sallee took a closer look at the feasibility of a six-team tournament.) ACC commissioner John Swofford said months ago that an eight-team playoff would be better for college football—and that was before anyone knew what the first four-team field would look like.
"In terms of the number of teams, [eight] would probably be ideal," Swofford said, via Shawn Krest of the Herald-Sun.
The inevitability of "playoff/bracket creep," in which the playoff naturally expands (because of money), is real. It is also, however, overexaggerated. A 32-team playoff isn't happening.
The thing is, we may have been looking at it all wrong. What hasn't been discussed in detail is a viable alternative: expanding the playoffs...by creating a separate four-team playoff from the one that already exists. In other words, if the College Football Playoff is the NCAA tournament, then create the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) for college football.
Would it dilute the product already in place? Hardly. The four-team playoff has created compelling storylines and tension throughout the season. That wouldn't go away. The impact of the regular season has been retained in the playoff era and would still be a heated battle for position among the top four.
A college football NIT only adds to the number of top-end teams playing one another at year's end.
The demand for college football inventory is at an all-time high, and this would be a quality product. If last season's CFP rankings were used to determine the NIT field, Baylor, TCU, Mississippi State and Michigan State would have made up the field.
TCU could have played with, and perhaps beaten, anyone last season. Maybe the Frogs could have settled the Baylor debate once and for all. Michigan State had just two losses—to the teams that ended up playing for the national championship.
Oh, yeah. That's some good stuff.
Every week during ESPN's playoff rankings show, producers could dedicate one segment to teams "on the bubble." If the season ended today, which four teams would be in and which would be NIT bound? To take it a step further, which four teams would be the "first four out" of the NIT?
It would check off the major boxes. College athletics admins have cited concerns over how an extra three games in an eight-team playoff would stretch players physically and academically. Whether or not those concerns are valid is a debate for another day.
Either way, those roadblocks are cleared by creating the college football NIT. It's more precious inventory without a single team having to play more than 15 games throughout the season.
Like the CFP, the television rights to those games would be up for bid. ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC—any one of the major networks would have a chance to broadcast the games. And just like college basketball, college football's NIT would have on-campus games; only the championship would be bid out to a neutral site.
If you stumped for on-campus playoff games in the past, you may get your wish yet.
But that also leads to the one chief question: How would the NIT fit in to the already existing postseason? Power Five conferences have long-term contracts with the six major New Year's Eve/Day bowls. Last season, all four of the would-be NIT-bound teams played in the New Year's Six bowls. Baylor and Michigan State squared off in the Cotton Bowl, Mississippi State played Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl and TCU faced Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl.
Those bowls can still have conference tie-ins and at-large selections. Nothing would change there. The NIT would be a separate tournament, and the tradition of bowl season would be untouched. This would be a welcome alternative considering that bowl execs and conference commissioners squirmed at the notion of the bowl system going away in the playoff era.
The NIT would operate on its own island, yet be a part of the new, compelling postseason format that has taken college football to another level. Want to expand the playoffs? Open up another tournament.

The 10 Greatest Freshman Seasons in College Football History
Twenty-fourteen was a strong year for FBS freshmen, chief among them Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, Georgia running back Nick Chubb, Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett and Virginia safety Quin Blanding.
But none of those players were truly transcendent.
Especially after 2012 and 2013—years that produced the first two freshman Heisman Trophy winners—the standard for recording an immortal freshman season has shifted. There are two fewer spots on this list, which means two more great freshman fell out of the top 10. (In this case, apologies to Marshall Faulk and Andy Katzenmoyer.)
The biggest factors for creating this list were individual metrics (stats, awards, etc.), but now more than ever, that's not always enough. Team success plays an increasingly vital role, as the best freshmen post huge numbers and elevate their teammates.
Sound off below and let us know what you think.
Alabama Football Recruiting Offers of the Week
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — As Alabama began spring practice on Friday, the Crimson Tide didn't let up in their recruiting efforts.
Several top prospects from the 2016 and 2017 classes—as well as a 2015 signee—were on hand to witness the action before UA let out for a week of spring break.
Some of those prospects received offers while they were on campus, officially turning the wheels on their possible Alabama commitments.
Let's look at Alabama's offers of the week, which included a couple of 5-stars on name alone from the 2016 class.
Eddie McDoom, 2016 3-star wide receiver from Winter Garden, Florida
A week after offering West Orange high school quarterback Ervin Barrett, Alabama went after his teammate at wide receiver after getting the latter on campus for a visit.
And the returns are already coming back. McDoom told AL.com's Drew Champlin that Alabama jumped up to No. 1 on his list after the offer.
"Alabama brings out the best in players," McDoom told Champlin. "They know how to win and know what it takes to win. I would love to be part of that program."
Don't expect a decision anytime soon. McDoom said he is waiting until it's closer to national signing day to announce his decision. He holds offers from Florida, Clemson, Louisville, Ohio State and Miami, among others, per his 247Sports profile.
"They want to make sure he passes the eye test," West Orange coach Bob Head told Champlin. "He's got everybody in the country on him too. He's got about 10 SEC offers. He's a freak. He's a really good kid and a good player."
He also has one of the best names in this class.
Tre Threat, 2016 3-star outside linebacker from Spanish Fort, Alabama
Alabama got in on a fast-rising in-state prospect, offering Threat after a visit to Tuscaloosa this weekend. It capped a big week for Threat, who got a visit from Auburn last Saturday.
"It really feels great," Threat told AL.com's Ben Thomas. "To get two big SEC offers two weekends in a row is awesome. It really makes me feel like I am doing something right. I have to continue to work, get my body prepared and just be a playmaker on the field."
Per Thomas, Threat played baseball on Monday and Tuesday and was contacted by new outside linebackers coach Tosh Lupoi Tuesday night via Twitter about visiting. He made a decision to go on Wednesday and was in Tuscaloosa on Thursday. He left with an offer.
"Two things really stood out to me," Threat told Thomas. "I was impressed with the academic facilities and also the campus and environment in general. It was all really nice."
Threat said he plans to wait on his decision but wants to enroll in January. Alabama made sure they won't be on the outside looking in when that time comes.
Lowell Narcisse Jr, 2017 4-star dual-threat quarterback from Saint James, Louisiana
Alabama continues to go after dual-threat quarterbacks to plug into Lane Kiffin's system, this time offering a 2017 prospect.
Narcisse, currently rated the No. 3 dual-threat quarterback in the class by 247Sports, is already drawing a lot of attention, getting offers from Auburn and home-state LSU, among others.
He told 247Sports' Justin Hokanson last week that Auburn was in the lead.
"Auburn's leading," he said, per Hokanson. "It's about where I feel most comfortable, so I wouldn't have to make a big change from high school to college."
But that was before Alabama jumped into the mix.
Narcisse is the Crimson Tide's second quarterback offer for the 2017 class and its only dual-threat so far. His crystal ball gives LSU the edge for his signature right now.
He told Rivals.com's Jason Howell on Sunday that he did not have any leaders at this time.
Tyler Vaughns, 2016 5-star wide receiver from LaPuente, California
Alabama's highest-rated offer this week was the No. 2 wide receiver in the 2016 class, per the 247Sports composite, and the top one per 247Sports' own rankings.
Lupoi continued to show why he was so coveted for Alabama's staff. Vaughns told Rivals.com's Andrew Bone that the newly promoted outside linebackers coach and Nick Saban gave Vaughns the offer via phone.
"All I can say is Alabama is one of the ones at the top," Vaughns told Bone. "I don't have a visit scheduled yet, but I hope to get there real soon."
The Crimson Tide have offered 26 wide receivers for 2016 already, with a commitment from one.
Alabama is also showing why it wanted to bring in West Coast ties like those of Lupoi and Kiffin.
Other offers from the week
Garrett Bolles, 2016 JUCO 4-star offensive tackle from Lehi, Utah (BYU commit)
Tyrie Cleveland, 2016 4-star wide receiver from Houston, Texas (Texas A&M commit)
Jean Delance, 2016 4-star offensive tackle from Mesquite, Texas
Landon Dickerson, 2016 3-star offensive tackle from Hudson, North Carolina
Elysee Mbem-Bosse, 2016 inside linebacker from Ellenwood, Georgia
Jonah Williams, 2016 4-star offensive tackle from Folsom, California
Devon Hunter, 2017 4-star quarterback from Chesapeake, Virginia
Khalan Laborn, 2017 running back from Virginia Beach, Virginia
Cordarrian Richardson, 2017 running back from Memphis, Tennessee

How Les Miles and a Cancer-Stricken Alabama Teen Transcended an SEC Rivalry
For one day last week in Mountain Brook, Alabama—a town located squarely in the heart of the rivalry between Alabama and Auburn—the city was painted purple and gold in homage of fellow Western Division rival LSU.
As serious as fans in the Southeastern part of the country take their college football rivalries, the town of Mountain Brook came together to support one of its own in hopes of taking a life-threatening experience and turning it into a life-changing one.
For 15-year-old Sid Ortis, a diehard LSU fan who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma—a rare form of bone cancer affecting around 400 kids in the U.S. between the ages of 10 and 20—last August, that's exactly what happened in the moments after he returned home following lung surgery last Thursday.
The Mountain Brook community banded together to litter the area's streets and businesses with purple and gold balloons and ribbons on Sid's route home from the hospital. However, Sid's biggest surprise came in the form of a phone call from LSU head coach Les Miles.
"We realize that Coach Miles did not have to do that," Sid's father, Scott, told Bleacher Report recently. "He doesn't know us from Adam. They are in the middle of spring practice. I'm sure there are a lot of other things he could be doing. For some reason, our son's story has touched some folks."
The call lasted around 10 to 15 minutes, and topics ranged from general life advice to the two speaking about the Tigers' miscues against Alabama last season.
"[Miles] was just really encouraging," Scott said. "Sid was laying on the couch literally like he was talking to one of his buddies. He was on speakerphone. Coach Miles was talking to Sid as if he was one of his own son's good friends."
Scott and his wife, Lynn, are originally from Louisiana, and the family—which includes four more children—have been LSU season-ticket holders for quite some time. The call was a thrill for Sid and the family, especially since it was unexpected.
"He asked if he could pray with Sid and they prayed together. It was very humanizing. All of our friends here, who are Alabama and Auburn fans, they were like, 'I kind of like that Les Miles guy now.'"
Both the LSU community and the Mountain Brook community have been supportive of Sid's fight since the beginning.
According to Scott, Miles learned of Sid's condition shortly after he was diagnosed back in August of 2014. A few weeks later, Miles sent over a signed picture and a hat.
Scott recently learned the story of how Miles found out about Sid's condition. The connection came through LSU assistant athletic director Dr. Sam Nader, whose niece lives in the Mountain Brook area. Once she learned about the Ortis family's plight and their love of LSU football, she alerted her uncle.
A similar story unfolded when a Facebook post illustrating the town decorated in purple and gold made its way to the LSU football office.
"From what I understand, [Dr. Nader] showed that to Coach Miles and he apparently had tears in his eyes," Scott said. "We got home Thursday afternoon, and this thing just exploded. We have no idea how they got my wife's cell phone number, but yesterday afternoon, my wife got a call from his secretary asking if Coach Miles could speak to Sid. This is no fanfare. He just called out of the blue. It's pretty amazing."
Even a few former LSU players have reached out to Sid.
Around Christmas, current Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger sent him an LSU jersey and a handwritten note offering support. Recently graduated Tigers fullback Connor Neighbors, himself a Huntsville native, got in touch with Sid and the two frequently communicate via text.
For the Ortis family, the support from friends, family and members of the community has been overwhelming.
Mountain Brook is located about an hour away from Alabama's campus and roughly 90 minutes away from Auburn's.
Scott said it's not uncommon for his kids to wear LSU gear to school and endure some good-natured heckling from classmates and neighbors.
However, community members organized a mass email to around 200 Mountain Brook residents in order to flood the town with LSU colors for Sid's trek home from the hospital.
"It's surreal because it's always Alabama and Auburn around here," Scott said. "We were one of the few LSU families here. The businesses here even had those balloons up. When they ran out of balloons, they started getting purple and gold ribbons and putting those on mailboxes. It just snowballed. It was amazing. You just don't see purple and gold here like that."
While the Ortis family has welcomed the outpouring of support for Sid, Scott and the family are well aware that Sid still faces a challenging battle with his condition.
He's already had tumors removed from his leg, and his newest battle is now getting the disease out of his lungs—which is where this form of cancer often spreads.
Sid's recovery period from his most recent surgery ends Friday. Then, he will begin a routine where he goes in for five days of chemo treatments, gets two weeks off and repeats that cycle.
As Carol Robinson of AL.com notes, friends in the Mountain Brook community have set up a foundation called Strike Out Pediatric Cancer—which allows supporters to make pledge contributions for every strikeout thrown by Mountain Brook High School pitchers this season.
The last few days have brought a welcome distraction to an ordeal that has been an emotional roller coaster for Sid and his family.
"It means a lot," Scott said of the whole experience. "Sid is a 15-year-old kid. So when a major college coach just calls you out of the blue like that, it was humbling to be honest. To have that kind of support from everyone here, just to know that people care that much and that people are interested in reaching out and helping, it was a humbling experience."

Wagner paint sprayer
I have an old Wagner model 200 paint sprayer that I have lost the atomizer valve. I have not used this thing in years and was wondering if it still worked.I put some water in the cup and the pump runs but it will not pick up the liquid. I know the atomizer valve breaks the paint down into a mist but should it spray a straight stream without the valve? Mine will not spray a stream. Before I purchase the valve I was wondering if anyone can answer this?
I think those sprayers have rubber diaphragm pump. I afraid the rubber diaphragm probably weather cracked and won't pump or plugged up. If it's the hand held small model probably not worth dumping money in. I would just buy new one. Those sprayers are hard to get clean and once any paint residue dry it's like concrete to get out of the small passages.. IF you need to paint I would just by new one with parts available. If it's the more expensive model that goes on 5 gallon buckets and have separate pump with the long hose with the hand held gun nozzle then it maybe worth trying to find of parts for it?

Chapeau Rouge, founded in 1919 and established as a dazzling star in the massive sky of Prague night clubs, it has been redefining its eminent presence in past epochs. Located in an Art Noveau house in the city centre, with a lavishly styled interior, today it serves as an attraction to a crowd of mass proportions. Everyday djs, live concerts and performances on 3 floors with 4 bars and 3 stages.
Despite the name, wearing red hats is not exactly commonplace here. It should however be noted that this three-level enterprise is located on the site where until 1913 the "U Štupartů" house (also called "Devil's pub" by clever locals) stood from times when the Kingdom of Bohemia was the centre of the Holy Roman Empire and protesting against the Church was an eerie and uncommon sight. The 21st century's Chapeau Rouge still offers its audience an entourage of both devils and angels. Apart from the Irish-pub like atmosphere on the ground fl oor there are two lower levels, or subterranean stages in cellars built during an age known only by historians. On the fi rst level there is a dance fl oor with both domestic and outlandish top dance DJs skillfully spinning on stage throughout the year, and is open to all with free entrance. Downstairs, a newly renovated space on the deepest rockbed was recently opened. This "Underground Club" focuses mainly on live concerts by various indie bands, the occasional theatrical act, multimedia presentations as well as other mind blowing performances. Nevetheless, a delicious musical mixture of funk, hardcore, indie rock, disco and just about anything else that might satisfy ones tastes is regularly served from dusk 'til dawn. Actually there's more than just music to experience at Chapeau Rouge. Anyone interested in visual arts are cordially invited to witness and behold the underground conceptual space featuring extravagantly lit sculptures and forms of streetart.

Does this sound OK for landscaping
I had a landscaper redo the front of my home. He installed english boxwoods in the rear, and then some rheingold arborvitae and barberrys in front. In doing some research, it appears the arborvite and barberrys get very large (like many feet high and wide). Although they are very small now (the reingold being an almost perfect ball), can they be continually trimmed to keep them in proportion to the boxwoods in the rear (which should be taller)? Or are they untrimmable and get woody if you keep cutting them. But then again, you can keep trimming bonsai plants too.
Rheingolds can reach 5-7' high, 4-8' wide.
Can be sheared to maintain a certain size. People shear them to achieve some geometric shape even though the natural shape of the Rheingold Arborviate is almost a globe. It will grow slightly taller than wide over time and become more pear shaped.
There are many varieties of barberry. I don't know of any that can't be cut, trimmed, pruned to a workable size for you... the only requirement being a stout pair of gloves.

The Patriots will open their 2009 training camp in just over four months. With the understanding this list may need to be tweaked between now and the last week of July because of personnel decisions, here's our take on who's going to be drawing extra attention when the heat is on this summer.
1. Laurence Maroney. To be polite, Maroney has been a mixed bag since he showed up in Foxborough in 2006. There have been plenty of impressive performances — in particular, he was effective as the No. 1 back late in 2007, delivering five 100-plus yard efforts that year (including back-to-back 100-yard plus efforts in the postseason). In addition, he's averaged a perfectly respectable 4.3 yards per carry over the course of his career.
But other times, Maroney has been maddeningly inconsistent, tossing in more than his share of subpar performances. His toughness has been called into questions on several occasions, including once when teammates (only semi-jokingly) dumped diapers into his locker. For a back that checks in at 5-foot-11 and 220 pounds, he looks like a runner who can take a hit, but his constant dancing at the offensive line has left New England football fans shaking their heads. (Google "Maroney" and "dancing at the line," and you get 4,230 responses.)
Things didn't get any better for the man called "Kool-Aid" last season: After he went down with a season-ending shoulder injury early in the year, New England used a collection of running backs in his place (Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, LaMont Jordan, BenJarvus Green-Ellis) and was able to move the ball on the ground with some consistency, finishing in the Top 10 in every major rushing category across the board without him.
And now, with the Patriots dropping Jordan and adding Fred Taylor, its clear Maroney is entering a key stretch of his pro career. The running back would do well to heed the words of his 2006 draft classmate Chad Jackson, who was blunt when it came to offering advice about how to survive in the NFL. "Don't get hurt," Jackson warned shortly before the Patriots cut him last summer. "Once you get hurt, you fall way behind, especially in this league."
2. Ben Watson. On the surface, Watson has always struck me as a Patriots kind of football player. He is exceedingly intelligent. He always provides insightful and thought-provoking — but never too insightful or thought-provoking — answers for the media. A workout warrior, he appears to be chiseled out of marble. And since his injury-riddled rookie season, he's been fairly reliable, having played at least 12 regular-season games every year since 2005.
So why should he worry? Since he peaked with 49 catches for 643 yards in 2006, Watson's numbers have steadily decreased across the board to the point where he's almost an offensive afterthought. In the final six games last season, Watson caught a total of just three passes, the last of which was his football-under-the-shirt touchdown celebration against Seattle on Dec. 7 he meant as a shout-out to his pregnant wife.
In fact, Watson and David Thomas should worry about their situation. If Watson thinks he had it bad, he should listen to Thomas' tale of woe — after his crucial penalty in a Nov. 2 loss to the Colts, he didn't catch a single pass the rest of the season. One or two games without a significant contribution from your tight end in the passing game can be explained away behind the cover of an offensive game plan, but when your two top tight ends go the final six games of the season with three receptions between them, it's clear there's a glitch in the system.
The Patriots went out and got former Jets tight end Chris Baker in free agency, and if Baker can be the blocker/receiver he was a couple of years ago in New York, it could mean a significant decrease in playing time for both Watson and Thomas.
3. Nick Kaczur. Like Maroney, Kaczur has seen plenty of good and bad in his time in New England. There have been some very good moments — he was a starting offensive lineman for the 2007 Patriots, and was part of a unit that kept Tom Brady's uniform absolutely clean … until Super Bowl XLII, anyway. After some injury troubles at the start of his pro career, he's been durable, having started every game at right tackle for the Patriots since Week 8 of the 2006 season. And he does have some positional versatility — he flipped to left tackle in 2005 when starter Matt Light went down with injury — which could work in his favor if he gets pushed out of the starting right tackle spot by Ryan O'Callaghan.
But there have been plenty of embarrassments, both on and off the field, the worst of which included a 2008 arrest for oxycodone. Super Bowl XLII was a collective black mark against the New England offensive line. And while the Patriots collectively cut way back on penalties last season, Kaczur led all New England offensive linemen in false starts. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Patriots grab another right tackle in the late round of the draft to push the big Canadian. At the very least, the looming position battle between Kaczur and O'Callaghan will bear watching this summer.
4. Brandon Merwieather. Meriweather will be in the spotlight this summer, but not for the reasons that have dogged Maroney, Watson and Kaczur. Instead, the young safety will likely be looked at as someone who needs to build on the success he had at the end of the 2008 season. In his second full season in the NFL, he played the best football of his professional career down the stretch last year, peaking in the win over Seattle when he delivered a key sack of Seneca Wallace late in the contest. In all, he started every game after Oct. 26, and while he didn't re-invent the position, there were clear indications he had started to take his game to the next level. His hands — which betrayed him on several occasions as a rookie, by his own admission — were noticeably better, as he came away with four interceptions. And he hit double-digits in tackles twice down the stretch.
"He has certainly come a long way as a player in these two seasons and continues to get better," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said last December. "He is a really dependable guy. He's smart and makes very few errors back there in the secondary — not just himself, but also in terms of the overall communication back there with the group. He is playing with a lot of confidence and we have a lot of confidence in him because of the way he's been playing."
The New England secondary will soon have to deal with the post-Rodney Harrison era. If Merwieather (and, for that matter James Sanders) can build on the success he enjoyed at the end of last season, it will go a long way toward establishing some long-term to the Patriots' defensive backfield.
5. Nathan Hodel. On the surface, the long snapper probably isn't going to get much ink. But when you're replacing Lonie Paxton — a player who became a folk hero in New England, someone who never delivered a bad snap on a punt or a kick in the last nine seasons — there'll be plenty of eyeballs on you.
The 31-year-old Hodel snapped for Carolina and Arizona, spending seven years with the Cardinals before getting released on Feb. 26 of this year. He has handled big games previously, having snapped for Arizona during their run to the Super Bowl this past season. (For what its worth, he's also had four knee surgeries.) Paxton's hallmarks were steadiness and consistency, executing flawless snaps in several big games over the last few years. He set the bar high — it'll be interesting to see if he can match Paxton.
EXTRA POINTS: Are you a Patriots' fan who has you posted your mock draft online? Send us a link, and we'll make sure to promote it in a future edition of "The Hot List." We'll put together our Top 5 mocks from New England football fans some time before next month's draft.
Christopher Price covers the Patriots for WEEI.com.
Greg and Chris talk more offseason happenings with the Pats and their plans. They talk about some of the free agents toward the bottom of the list with Stevan Ridley and Dan Connolly. Price thinks that Connolly could end up back with the Pats and Ridley elsewhere (Cowboys?), but Greg thinks they both could be back. They also chat about the departure of VInce Wilfork and what he meant to the organization, the re-signing of McCourty and more.
The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out. Of course they lost Revis to the Jets, but what else went on? Greg isn't over the loss of Revis yet and the guys discuss what went into that whole ordeal. Price is looking forward to the additions of Chandler and Cadet. They also get a call from Mike Petraglia and get his thoughts on the Pats offseason moves.
We talk to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News about his column today which basically accuses the Patriots of sour grapes for asking the league to enforce their own rules against tampering.
Brow Buff's Sam Packard and Ben Kichen break down Marcus Smart's unfortunate ball tap, debate leadership in the Celtics locker room, and rehash the great Kevin Love to Boston rumors.

Mut, Bradford, and Tomase kick off this weeks show by talking to Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly about his biceps recovery, getting ready for the season and his NCAA brackets. They then talk about the Red Sox depth at closer with Koji Uehara questionable for the start of the season.
Jack Edwards of NESN joins Dale, Michael and Jerry. With 9 games left the Bruins don't have much if any margin of error, and Jack knows it.
DJ, Joe and Pete talk more playoff scenarios in hour 2 and if the Bruins can get in, they'll be a very dangerous team... to the point where DJ thinks teams would much rather face the Senators and are doing their best to oust the Bruins from the equation. It's become apparent now more than ever that Chiarelli probably needed to pull the trigger on a deal for a defenseman at the trade deadline. Also. Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun joins the boys to discuss the Hamburglar and the Senators and Bruins being neck-and-neck for a playoff spot.
With the Senators hot on the tail of the Bruins for a spot in the playoffs, Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun calls into Sunday Skate. He talks about "the Hamburglar" craze sweeping through the league as goalie Andrew Hammond has really stepped up for Ottawa. They discuss playoff chances, the fans' reaction in Ottawa and more.
