@darrenrovell Reading is fundamental.
He didn’t have a signature shoe.
He didn’t have an agreement for a signature shoe when he was in college.
So, the news is correct.

Not the first. Cooper Flagg had a New Balance deal throughout his entire time with Duke. But NB let Cooper wear Nike.

Arkansas freshman star Darius Acuff Jr. has landed a signature shoe with Reebok, becoming the first NCAA men’s athlete to receive one from a major U.S. brand while still in college, Reebok’s head of basketball, Jide Osifeso, tells ESPN.

@BarstoolBigCat I’ve been saying for years that sports bars need to nail this and they never do. I bet that place does numbers.

I can’t stop thinking about this. I don’t want to say dream job because it’s probably annoying running around changing TV’s but you just know this guy has it down to a science and takes insane pride in his work.
I also think I may put on a TV Remote changing Olympics
William Galloway@Wm_Galloway
Had dinner at a local establishment last night and was informed that someone on staff was the designated “tv remote guy” to switch between games. No bartending, no waiting tables. Just ball. 10/10 job. 100% tip

@Blog_Hawg2 @WarMachine2013 Because that was a Memphis station doing the broadcast

Had this one scheduled to upload on Wednesday, but I was too excited about it so here it is:

no millennial trope has broken more brains than "you don't owe anybody anything". an ignoble, selfish narcissism dressed up in therapy-speak about boundaries and self-care in order to give yourself a pass from treating other people with a basic level of care and respect

@RustyMansell_ Player being down when the knee touches down (or Ben if he hasn’t been touched by a defender).

You could change one rule in college football.. Only ONE, and it gets done today with your phone call, what rule would you change?
English
@Blog_Hawg2 @AdamFord92 Also a bad matchup for Arizona considering they struggled with the utah state press and Arkansas leads in fast break points
English
If I'm Arkansas, I'm pressing the whole game against Zona. Utah State has started doing it, and Arizona is collapsing. (assuming Arizona wins)

@BrandoAKing I think it’s the:
—Had a better season and postseason
—Won the SECT (and didn’t play Wednesday morning)
—Had arguably the best player in the country
—Have one of the best recruiting classes in the country
—HC doesn’t seem completely overwhelmed

Cal and Pope pretty much have identical records.. what am I missing that makes Arkansas better?
Trajectory or some shit…here it comes.

@RegionalTVCat Cronin has reached the level of absurdity that it seems like a bit.
English
@HogStats That’s it. And it’s what the hand-wringers regarding his defense are missing. He isn’t just great, offensively. He’s ridiculous.
The detractors see him as Trae Young, but don’t realize he’s so much more efficient and absolutely controls the game while also keeping it moving.
English
@Blog_Hawg2 For me it's probably this one - historical high production and with drastically fewer turnovers despite heavy usage and everyone knowing he's the one to try to stop. x.com/i/status/20358…
HogStats.com@HogStats
Darius Acuff Jr. now has 817 points and 229 assists this season. Only 4 other NCAA D1 men's players have reached both those levels in the same season (Jay Williams, Trae Young, Kay Felder, Terrell Lowery), and Acuff is the only one do it with less than 120 turnovers (has 76).

@HogStats
What is the most amazing/best Darius Acuff stat of the season?
English
@Blog_Hawg2 @NoEscalators Historically good and they’re ranked like 5th.
English
Sometimes you’re like “damn college basketball has gotten so good. It’s so intricate. Furman is running UConn sets against UConn.”
And then other times you watch a John Calipari team run offense.
English
@BarstoolBigCat Yes. Both on the last play and on the fouls.
They didn’t make them run clock. Correct strategy on taking the fouls they had to give. Poor execution by giving them too quickly.
It was driving Self crazy.
English
The fouling was smart basketball. The defense at the end was atrocious.
Guards Stox@alexstockingerr
@BarstoolBigCat bill self has to be the biggest cornball for doing that foul shit, karma was coming
English
@theblockspot @radiojondeek This doesn’t make up for the “made Arkansas a basketball school” tweet, but it’s a start.
English
@BarstoolBigCat On a scale of 1-10, how much do you love watching Darius Acuff hoop?
English
@UnbiasedBrim1 It’s funny. Ball knowers (Players, coaches) LOVE Acuff, while Spreadsheet FC is still yelling at the clouds.
English
Jalen Rose just stated on air that he would take Acuff 1st in the draft
#WPS
English
So only Cam Boozer remains of the projected top 4 picks...

@UnbiasedBrim1 I’m not worried about scoring. I’m worried about being destroyed by their front court.
