7on7 keeps getting further and further away from football.
Less development.
More stupidity.
More theatrics.
More people embarrassing the game.
Fighting a ref at a 7on7 is insane work.
The whole thing is getting out of hand.
This is doing the exact opposite of what 7on7 was intended to do.
It isn’t just about the kids anymore smh

“I was a tough peer to people who were the same level as me & maybe even
tough to manage. But I was always naturally very attentive to the people who reported to me. They're more important to you in a lot of ways.”

"A WH spokeswoman called the protests 'Trump derangement therapy sessions.'"
The people I met at No Kings were sane and well-adjusted. The people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome are those who work for him and slavishly praise and bow to him.

@MubbOldtimer @GeryWoelfel That ranks as one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard especially coming from someone who worships Al McGuire and teams from 50 years ago. Clown 🤡

@JCCCPA64 @GeryWoelfel That's like saying you miss Lombardi power sweeps. The game changes man. Move on.

When Marquette advanced to the Final Four in 2003, it had an NBA lottery pick in Dwyane Wade.
When Wisconsin advanced to the Final Four in 2015, it not only had an NBA lottery pick in Frank Kaminsky but a mid-first round selection as well in Sam Dekker.
Having a player who eventually becomes a high NBA draft pick is perhaps the biggest key for a team to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
This year's Final Four field is a classic example.
Seven of the Elite Eight teams boast at least one player who'll be either a Lottery pick or likely mid-first-round pick in the June draft. The only outlier is Purdue.
Here are those seven teams and their prime-time players:
* Arizona -- Brayden Burries.
* Michigan -- Yaxel Lendeborg.
* Tennessee -- Nate Ament.
* Duke -- Cameron Boozer.
* Connecticut -- Braylon Mullins.
* Iowa -- Bennett Stirtz.
* Illinois -- Keaton Wagler.
If Wisconsin coach Greg Gard and Marquette coach Shake Smart are to end their school's Final Four droughts, they'll need to step up their recruiting game and land a certifiable blue-chip player.

@shanaka86 Good! Building and encouraging self reliance in Europe rather than dependency. Hint: The Marshall Plan is over.

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ.
The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles.
Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough.
The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan.
Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth.
The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times.
Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost.
And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one.
Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.”
The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption.
The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need.

NC State AD Boo Corrigan on Will Wade 👀
"Tuesday night, we talked about everything in the program... I asked him what we needed to be competitive. From there, as far as the resignation, it was an email that we received from his agent."
"I'd commiserate with (fans), in terms of feeling lied to. And I'd let them know that I'm as surprised as they are by what's gone on."
