Before this incident he was projected as a 2nd/3rd round pick now he is projected to go undrafted. I dont' think it was the punch that got hi suspended for the season. It was the fighting with his own teammates and going into the crowd. He rocked that dude though. He didn't even cock back and he kncked him down

I think we would have to 5-0 to get into the the 25 unless some ridiculus shit happens, but it has to be the right teams losing. If a top ten loses then they will drop to 15-25 range. We would need three or four 15-25 ranked teams to lose bad games in order to get up there.

Yea but it's Bullshit that NBC hired him as an analyst before last season was even over. He was commenting on the Lions Team that he created. I'm not saying he should be blackballed but he should have a taken a year off at least before getting back in the public eye. He deserves any shit that he gets because he chose to be on TV and to put himself in a position to be hackled.

i see no reason not to use both. As long as one person is nemed the starter then the other can come in in special situations. Just having Denard on the field is going to change how defenses line up. If they line him up at reciever and run inside zone away that zone play is going to be more effective just because the defense will be looking at denard as well as what is going on. You can't just bring him in for a trick play then take him out, but if he's on the field regularly then it will open up the trick play.

with losses to PSU, Iowa and Illinois. I think we come into the OSU game 4 1/2 point underdogs and we beat them giving Penn State an outright big ten championship where they beat the piss out of USC. The big ten will go 6-0 in bowl games. Michigan will beat Clemson in '07 Florida type shootout and every will shut the Fuck Up about how much the big ten sucks. In 2010 we will have a '06 rematch with OSU where we win on a last second touchdown catch by DG on a trick play reminescent of Boise state oklahoma, where he tea bags the whole OSU secondary. Then we will win the NC by turkey slapping Nebraska all over the field.

The spread is a formation not an offensive scheme. There is spread n' shred, spread option, hyper spread, mixed-spread, passing spread and I probably missed one. Oklahoma State and Texas Tech run out of the spread but they are very different different offenses. Basically you are wrong, very wrong.

They get hurt the least often but when they do they get the worst injuries averaging almost another whole game lost. I dont' know why but i would guess it's because they only really get hurt when they venture further ouside the pocket than their ability can handle. Their lack of elite athletisicm results in worse injuries. They get hurt less often because they don't leave the pocket as often.

[Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] They're very different players. Morrison was a ball dominant, mediocre efficiency, high volume guy who was a solid jump shooter but not special in that regard. McDermott doesn't need the ball to be effective, is an absolutely elite jumpshooter, and is much more versatile on the whole offensively than Morrison was. Defense will be an issue. I don't expect his post game to translate super effectively, and his finishing might be an issue against bigger players. But his shooting isn't going anywhere, and he's special in that regard, hard to see him not being an effective off ball scorer in the NBA. If that's worth the defensive issues is another conversation, but I think you can do much worse in the mid 1st. [Title]

[Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] Leonard isn't a terrible comp, though GR3 hasn't shown the rebounding or defensive acumen there, but offensively there's some similarities. I don't think he gets to that level, but I think that's essentially his upside. Green was a much better shooter coming into the league, on a whole different level as an athlete, and you never had to ask him twice to shoot (outside of that year in Indy). Ariza...maybe. I think he could have a similar level of impact in the league, though Ariza was more of a lanky long defender whereas the hope with GR3 is that he'll be able to body up guys like LeBron. [Title]

[Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] Agreed that it's certainly overestimated by most. At the same time, Gelman notes in the comment section that for some guys the variance can be much higher than others (claiming that on average, the swing might be 2% points, but for some could be as high as 20%). It seems like a lot of people have taken "the average effect of any so called hot hand is small" to mean "the hot hand doesn't exist." It's essentially impossible to prove the latter, while there's plenty of data supporting the former. I saw Gerald Green drop 25 points in a quarter against the Thunder earlier this season. It sure is hard to consider that as just some random variance. [Title]

[Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] Not a clue, I haven't read that paper yet, only saw a talk regarding it. A just total off the top of my head guess would be that free throws are such an isolated, out of rhythm event that they may not be prone to such swings. Wouldn't surprise me to hear someone say that they might over think at the line when they're "hot," which could offset that impact. The thing with all of these types of studies is that there's so, so many dependent variables that it's really hard to control for things. This type of stuff always seems to start off with an implied assumption, and often there's no way to prove that assumption. I'm a pretty big analytics guy, hell it's what I'd like to do professionally, but I think anyone who forgets about the human side of things is doing a great diservice to themselves. EDIT: Here's a link to the actual paper by the way. [Title]

[Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] Regarding basketball, there was a paper on this at the Sloan conference this year that made a pretty easy to understand argument. A player who is hot is: -More likely to hit shots of the same difficulty. -More likely to take more difficult shots. The effect essentially balances out and hides the underlying "hotness." So a hot player may make an uncontested 3 at a 45% rate instead of his usual 40% rate, but he's more likely to settle for a worse shot precisesly because he (or his teammates, or his coach) senses that he's hot.

[Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] Making comparisons with Caris seems odd, because he's frankly unlike really anyone I've seen at an NBA level. His skill set is sort of at odds with itself. He's a very good ball handler who can get where he wants on the court, but he's a poor shooter off the dribble, his finishing inside isn't anything special, and his playmaking ability as a passer isn't either. I see the appeal, he's got a ton of upside, and if he can improve on his finishing, playmaking, or shooting off the dribble he becomes incredibly dangerous, but at this very moment his greatest strength isn't optimally complemented by his other skills.

[Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] I tend to agree that the degree and "getting better is easier in college" things are overstated, but the latter does have some truth to it. The thing about being an NBA player is that you play a lot of games. And game days are dedicated to one thing and one thing only, being ready to play. You don't spend game days trying to improve, you're not lifting weights on a game day, you're simply trying to keep yourself loose and ready to go. You spend more days traveling, and spend far fewer practicing as a team than a college team does (NBA teams can go weeks between full practices). Getting playing time makes up for a lot of that, as there's nothing more valuable in a young player's development than playing, but if you're stuck ot the bench it can be tough to actually have a ton of time to dedicate to getting better during the season. Now I don't think that's a good enough reason to pass up making millions of dollars, but just want to point out that there is some truth to the whole college developmental thing. [Title]

[Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] Did it though? There's no reason to believe Morris or Harris staying for another year would have convinced NBA talent evaluators to somehow overlook their faults. By the time both of those guys left, they were largely established commodities, there weren't a ton of question marks with either. I think both were relatively smart to leave while there was a good shot at NBA money on the table, even if only 2nd round money. Glenn and Mitch are much different, I do think they both could answer a lot of questions with another season. I think Mitch should come back, Glenn is a bit trickier, as another year is one more year removed from the "raw potential" label and one year closer to "finished product". Seeing as his suposid upside is his #1 draw from an NBA standpoint, it might make sense for him to go now while teams still like him from a projectability stand point. I think we can survive Glenn leaving, but Mitch going would leave a ton of question marks going forward. Rolling with Walton, Caris, Irvin, Chatman, and Spike getting all of the 1/2/3 minutes I think can and would work out pretty solidly. [Title]

[Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] Totally agree, my point is mainly that those one dimensional types tend to go late 1st early 2nd in a deep draft. I think McGary has some more upside than a typical late 1st round pick, but his health status likely offsets that for a lot of teams. As for the all-around solid guy vs the great at one thing guy, the all around guy is certainly riskier, but can pay off with a guy like Hardaway Jr. when one of their skills hits that next level, or can totally flame out.

[Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] I tend to agree. Love McGary as a college player, but from a pro perspective, I thought the biggest key for him this year was showing that he could hit a mid range shot (and free throw) reliably. He didn't show a ton of that early on, and since of course he's been injured. If I were grading him from a NBA stand point: Pros: Terrific finisher. Quality rebounder. NBA ready body. Great motor all around. Cons: Limited back to the basket game. Questionable jumpshot. Not a great rim protector. If you look around the league for guys like Mitch, most of them are third bigs who do well on the glass but are a bit one dimensional. I think he has some considerable upside if he can figure out the mid range game reliably, perhaps have a David Lee type impact, but I wouldn't bank on him getting there. I'd happily take a flier on him in the 20s even with the back issue, but in an especially deep draft I can certainly understand him sliding to the 2nd. [Title]
I tend to agree. Love McGary

[Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] The worst part about the Burke block is because it was so high profile, everyone thinks that was the only bad call, and are quick to make the argument that it didn't cost Michigan the game, ignoring that the entire rest of the game was horribly officiated in Louisville's favor. Hancock with the foul that was inexplicably switched off of him (and would have fouled him out), the over the back that pushed Caris out of bounds on that last rebound (we would have had the ball down 3 on the last possessoin), the other bazillion calls that were missed on Hancock, bleh. At some point I charted out the whole game as objectively as I could, marking down ever foul called and not called, and it wasn't even remotely close. It easily resulted in a 10+ point swing.

[Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] Alright TheLastHoke, here's a pretty compelte statistical breakdown of what we know about both players so far in their NBA time, since you keep saying the stats are telling a different story than what most are saying here: KCP Defensively Team defense improves 8.8 points per 100 possessoins while KCP is on the court. How much of this has to do with Stuckey being a terrible defender, and that Pope is coming off the bench and likely facing inferior offensive units because of it, is debatable. That's why adjusted plus minus exists, but it's far too early in the season (and in their careers) for APM to hold any weight. He's holding opponents to a sub 13 PER and just under 50 eFG%. The eFG% is actually subpar, but he does a nice job of preventing FTAs, and forces a good number of turnovers it appears. Synergy has him as a .93 PPP defender, which is a decent bit below average (256th in the NBA). He's been excellent fighting through screens to contest shots, and does a good job in PnR defense, but those sample sizes are too small to draw definite conclusions. Again, overall, Synergy doesn't think he's anything special. His dRtg is 109, but dRtg is a pretty useless stat that is more closely tied to your defensive rebounding stats and your team's defense than your actual defensive performance. I'm just putting this here in case someone else tries to reference individual dRtg one way or another. Offensively 2.1 points worse with KCP on the court. Again, same caveats as defensive +/- apply. 72% of his makes are assisted. As you'd suspect the vast majority of his offense is created by others for him. His 1.4 FTA per 36 leave a lot to be desired compared to his college numbers. That's partially because of his role, but still, that was the number one thing I was keeping an eye on with him in his transition to the NBA, and so far it hasn't translated. 45.7% TS% is pretty terrible, especially when considering his role as mostly a spot up shooter. But, small sample size, wouldn't be too concerned yet. 3.6 rebounds per 36, 1.4 assists, he isn't exactly filling up the box score in that regard. 3.5% TO%, this is AMAZING. I don't think I've ever seen someone with that low of a turn over rate, even in a spot up shooting role, really impressive from a rookie. 104 oRtg. All of his offensive struggles shooting the ball essentially get off set by his tremendously low turnover rate. Unlike individual dRtg, individual oRtg is termendously useful, and tells you a lot about how efficient a player is with the possessions they use. .88 PPP according to Synergy. Tells us pretty much the same thing as oRtg, but their methods are different. This ranks 208th in the NBA. 15.3 usage rate, which tells us, as expected, that he isn't exactly the focal point of the offense. As a result, his 9.4 PER, which is directly tied to usage, is unimpressive. Early Conclusion: Defensive signs are positive, offensively he's shown close to nothing of note outside of his low turnover rate. He hasn't had much of an opportunity, so it isn't time to panic in that regard, but offensively I'm a bit discouraged based on his reputation coming out of college. Burke Defensively: Team defense is 6.3 points worse with Burke on the court per 100 possessions. He's holding opponents to a 15.9 PER. This is below average. He's allowing guys to get inside too much (33% of their FGA are inside), and it seems opponents target him as someone to attack (their usage rate is above average against Burke, though part of that is the nature of the PG position). Opponents also get to the line a good bit against Burke. This is according to 82games.com. Synergy has Burke as a .84 PPP against defender, which is 138th in the NBA and a good bit above average. You may wonder how Synergy and 82games.com could differ so greatly, and which one to put more stock in. My understanding is that 82games.com does their defensive tracking via play by play data, and assumes that the PG on one team is guarding the other team's PG. As we know, switches occur frequently, some teams mix in the occasional zone, and often things don't line up so nicely. Synergy actually tracks every play individually and matches guys up properly, so I'd be far more confident in citing Synergy defensive stats than 82games. His dRtg is 113. Again, this is mostly useless, and dependent on the Jazz being an awful defensive team as a whole. Offensively: 11.4 points better with Burke on the court per 100 possessions. 33% of his shots are assisted, as you can imagine, he's creating most of his own offense. This is a bit high compared to some PGs actually, so he isn't in full ball domination mode. 2.3 FTA per 36 isn't overly impressive, but also was expected to be low. 21% of his shots are coming inside (he converts these a slightly subpar 57%), which is actually twice as often as Chris Paul, so it seems safe to say that the concern with his ability to get inside has mostly been answered. Still could stand to finish a bit better, but it hasn't been nearly the issue it was expected to be. 48.9 TS% is in that Brandon Jennings range of bad, but is largely due to his 40.5 eFG% on jumpers, a number that I'd be shocked to see lower than 45% come the end of the year (with his TS% around league average). 4.3 rebounds per 36, 6.2 assists, solid as a distributor so far if unspectacular. 9.1% TO%, which for any PG is a pretty big deal, and for a rookie PG is historically good. 107 oRtg. Much like KCP, the low turnover rate really helps, and in Burke's case the assists do as well. This is right around league average, which again, for a rookie is impressive. .88 PPP according to Synergy, same as KCP. 23.0% usage rate, so he's using a pretty big chunk of Utah's possessions and doing so rather efficiently (as based on his oRtg and Synergy PPP. Early Conclusion: Defense is a mixed bag, with Synergy liking him quite a bit, but 82games feeling differently. I'd probably interpret it as being mildly positive at this point, but that's mainly because I don't put much if any stock into raw +/-, so to each their own. Offensively he's actually doing a better job of scoring inside than I expected, and the only issue he's really had is getting his jumper to fall. Anyone who expects that to continue, based on his historically great ability to hit jumpers off the dribble in college, is bordering on insane. The turnver rate is very, very encouraging early on, the assist rate is solid, and all in all it's hard to find much to complain about offensively outside of the struggles with his jumper. [Title]

[Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] Arguing that KCP has been better than Burke is....questionable to say the least. I guess you can talk up his defensive impact, but the Pistons have the 20th best defense in the league, despite a whole host of defensive talent in Smith/Drummond, so just how big of an impact is he having? I agree, the eye test says he's a good defender, and I expect him to continue to be one, but you're greatly overestimating the impact he's had on that side of the court. If you replace KCP with a replacement level player, how many fewer games have the Pistons won at this point? Look at the record of the Jazz with and without Burke, pretty easy to see the type of impact he's had. You also referenced WS/48 earlier, which with such a small sample size of minutes borders on irrelevent, as shown by the fact that Burke shot significantly past KCP in that metric after last night's game. Argue that KCP made sense with the Jennings/Smith plan (which was a shitty plan to begin with, but oh well), sure, but to argue that KCP has been the more productive player to this point is a joke.

[Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] The analytics aren't wrong, but you're only looking at one, not the whole picture. Even going into last night, Burke's oRtg of 103 was hovering around league average despite an absolutely dreadful TS%. A short sighted person might say he's been struggling to play well, but I'd argue his first 15 games in the NBA are about as encouraging as they could be despite his shooting struggles. Does anyone really think he'd continue to shoot that poorly, is there any reason to believe he'd be that inept of a scorer in the NBA? The rest of his game has translated as well as anyone could have hoped, his turn over rate is historically low for a rookie PG (and among the best in the league amongst all PGs), he's creating off the dribble successfully, and while he's still not very good at finishing inside, he isn't have a problem getting in the paint off the dribble. Even with the shooting struggles, Burke looks to be on track to be one of the top 3 players from this draft. No reason to be anything but excited about the way he's looked as an NBA player. [Title]

[Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I'm not totally sure what guys expect from GR3. He's never had the ability to really create off the dribble, and most guys don't just magically develop that in one offseason. If a guy gets to college and can't create off the dribble, don't ever expect him to. It can happen, but it's incredibly rare. For that reason, I've always been pretty pessimistic about GR3 in that first or second option role. He reminds me a bit of Kawhi Leonard, and like Michigan fans, Spurs fans have been waiting for Kawhi to show the ability to create for himself. Mind you that's a generous projection, dependent on GR3 continuing to make strides with his jumper, and if you're an NBA team I think you'd have to be thrilled if GR3 reached that level. Stauskas, unlike Robinson, has the benefit of having an elite level NBA skill, and that's incredibly valuable. Guys like Korver stick around for ages because at the end of the day, it's always nice to have a guy who can hit the 3 ball consistently over 40%. The improved ability to get inside and finish is incredibly promising as well. If you were to compare him to a pro right now, I think Klay Thompson is the closest match skillset wise, though I wouldn't expect Stauskas to get to that level of total scoring. McGary I really don't know. He HAS to get the mid range jumper down and figure things out at the free throw line, other wise he's nothing more than an energy guy. I don't know if he ever develops real back to the basket ability, he's a quality finisher around the hoop but it's unlikely he ever creates much for himself. Defensively he has a good bit of upside due to his athleticism and size, though it'd be nice if he were a bit more prolific of a shot blocker. I would expect Stauskas to be the most useful player out of the gate of the three. [Title]

If it makes you (or anyone else) feel better though, we probably would have just ran the ball three times for a grand total of three yards, so it probably didn't change the outcome. The missed blatant hold on one of PSU's early touchdowns and the weak PI call haunt me more than the lack of a first down there. If those things go our way, maybe we win. Either way, win or lose, the thing that bothers me most about this game is Fitz stat line. It's absolutely inconceivable how any coach allows that stat line to happen.

[Date] 2 years 3 days ago [Body] PER is heavily influenced by usage. Practically anyone who dominates the ball at the rate Jennings does can put up an above average PER. Go look at Antoine Walker's career PERs, and yet practically no one from the advanced analytics crowd will come by and say "there's a guy who helped a team win." On the flip side, RAPM doesn't seem to think too fondly of Jennings, and his TS% of 51% is awful for a guy who shoots that much. There's some hope for him if he ever figures out the difference between a good and a bad shot, because he does do a solid job of not turning the ball over and distributing. But when he puts up a jumper, which he does really, realy often, it's bad news. In the right situation, I think Jennings is capable of being useful. But I can't think of a situation worse for him than Detroit, where he's going to be depended on to space the floor (since no one else on the team can shoot) and create far more offense than he should be relied on for. EDIT: That isn't to say Knight's any better of a player by the way. I don't think he ends up any more than a 7th man at best to be honest, but that doesn't change that comitting to Jennings as the PG of this team is a mistake, compounded further by trying to turn Josh Smith into a SF.

[Date] 11 hours 25 min ago [Body] As I understand it, Brady's biggest problem is that the NFLPA ceded power to the commisioner to do exactly what he's doing: essentially to be prosecuter, judge, and if Brady doesn't like the decision, the appeals judge also. The players association royally fucked the players over with this aspect of their last labor agreement. Goodell was granted the power by the NFLPA to do exactly what he's doing, and it's not likely to be the concern of the federal courts to interfere. [Title]

[Date] 13 hours 53 min ago [Body] As others have pointed out, if the schedules were equal, Harbaugh comes out ahead. But the schedules aren't equal. Wisconsin does open against Alabama, but should win easily in the rest of the OOC schedule. Then they get the other B1G west teams and their crossover games are with Rutgers and Maryland. Nebraska plays BYU as the one OOC that should be difficult for them (Miami looks to have another mediocre team this year) and do have to play MSU in one of their crossover games, Rutgers in the other. If Michigan were playing either Nebraska's or Wisconsin's schedule, I would have them at 10-11 wins. But Harbaugh doesn't get those schedules. I think the liklihood is that Michigan will have 8 or 9 wins. Nebraska and Wisconsin should be able to each win 9 games. [Title]

[Date] 17 hours 16 min ago [Body] I don't know who these academic experts cited in the article are (they are not named), but every college or university I've been at requires a minimum of 20 on ACT tests for students to be deemed minimally college ready. Scores below 20 require remediation: students are not allowed to enroll in college-level courses in that area until they have completed one or more non-credit, remedial courses. That is, of course, for schools that admit students with scores that low. And I can tell you from experience, students who are scoring at 16-17 or lower on ACT tests are at pretty high risk of never graduating. One or two semesters of remedial work at that age rarely makes up for what was missed in the previous 12 years of education. For the hard working, motivated student it can work out, but for most, it's a struggle just to hope to barely pass college level classes. [Title]

[Date] 2 days 2 hours ago [Body] The Big 12 has problems, one of the biggest being Texas. Their Longhorn Network and throwing their weight around is a large part of what drove off Nebraska and Texas A & M. The conference acceptance of West Virginia shows they have no concern for either geography or academics, though several of the original schools aren't exactly academic all stars either (and West Virginia was never a realistic option for the Big Ten because of its dreadful academics). Fans and talking heads around here (I live in Oklahoma City) have been bemoaning that the conference didn't go harder after Louisville instead of West Virginia. There are a contigent of Nebraska fans who want to rejoin the Big 12, but I have to believe a lot of that is motivated by nostalgia for a time when Nebraska football was relevant nationally. As others have pointed out, even if for nothing else, finacially and academically Nebraska is far better off now than what it was in the Big 12. The biggest losses for Nebraska were losing some recruiting strength in Texas and the rivalry with Oklahoma, but Oklahoma already considered Texas its big rival game any way. [Title]

I had few problems with high school or junior high, but I just could not do elementary school. It was the most stressful job I've ever had. Through grad school I worked summers as a janitor to pay the bills. My wife's grandmother thought I was a janitor till the day she died, since that was what I was doing the summer we got married. She worried about how I would support her grand daughter on a janitor's salary. The work actually wasn't so bad, but the pay and hours sucked, and janitorial staff are mostly either completely ignored as if we didn't exist or treated as though we were an affront to decency. Most of my work was scrubbing and waxing floors, with a majority of the actual work being dragging furniture out of the way at the beginning of the night, then at the end of the shift carefully carrying it back so as not to scratch or mar the new wax. I'm a frugal bastard, so I'm drinking tap water and Miller High Life. [Title]

Harbaugh recruited Hill to Stanford and Hill even signed a National Letter of Intent, but Harbaugh went to the NFL, Hill went on an LDS mission, and they went their separate ways. “I’m very excited to go to Michigan and play in that venue, to play coach Harbaugh,” Hill said at BYU's media day in June. “He and I have exchanged a few text messages since he accepted the job. We’ve talked about it. I’m very excited about it … I would have never imagined this. I sent him a text and said, ‘It’s not ideal, it’s not like we planned, but I’m grateful and super-excited to finally be on the same field as you.’ His response was, ‘I’m not looking forward to playing you, my friend'.” http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865632727/BYUs-Taysom-Hill-looking-forward-to-game-against-Jim-Harbaugh-who-once-recruited-him.html?pg=all [Title]
There's an interesting story

Congrats! I'm a teacher and my wife is hoping to land her first full time teaching position this year. It's a hard job that keeps getting harder, but it can be very rewarding at the same time. Good luck!

[Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I teach Geometry and Algebra [Body]
I teach Geometry and Algebra 2. I have a lot of students the struggle with geometry, then pick things back up in Algebra 2. It does sound like the class isn't structured the best too. Does the teacher just pull a section from the book each day? We got rid of our books and rewrote our materials just the way we want them. Also, I don't assign homework, just "home fun" which is just like homework but it doesn't sound quite do bad.

My uncle played baseball with Barry at Michigan. I think they still occasionally keep in touch over the phone. My uncle was pretty close with Hal Morris too.

I can't start a thread but I just saw an interesting comment Devin Gardner posted about Wellman as a comment under his Instagram picture he tweeted. I can't post the pic and comment on my phone but it was about "fake it until you make it". Looks like he put on some muscle.
