  1. Not sure the wind conditions and flags set up will allow a low round today. On Sunday, won't be surprised if the set up yields a lot more birdies.
  2. Fyi... In 2023 due to Tiger's health, Joe LaCava switched to caddying for Cantlay. Who is Tiger Woods' new Masters caddie? Woods' caddie for the 2024 Masters Tournament is Lance Bennett. It marks just the second time that the legendary pro will have Bennett on his bag. Bennett is no stranger to the tour scene. He has been caddying on the PGA Tour since 2003, serving with the likes of Matt Kuchar, Sungjae Im, and Davis Riley. He also has been on the bag for a number of LPGA players, such as Juli Inkster, Paula Creamer, and Lorena Ochoa. The relationship between Woods and Bennett started in 2013 when Bennett was still with Kuchar. Woods and Kuchar played together at the Presidents Cup. “As far as Lance is concerned, I’ve had a great relationship with him over the years going back to when he caddied for [Matt Kuchar] and when we played at the Presidents Cup together back in, what, Muirfield Village," Woods said before the Genesis Invitational. "Very down to earth, very loyal, and how he conversated through the years, I’ve also taken notice of that. We’ve had the same type of feels in how we look at the golf course and how we read putts. They’re very similar."
  3. NCAA Basketball: Top 30 pending "covid-year" players decisions to make for 2024-25 Not sure about redshirt rules for COVID-year players, but info in article shared comments and Top 30 5th year prospects... https://bustingbrackets.com/posts/ncaa-basketball-top-30-pending-covid-year-players-decisions-to-make-for-2024-25-01ht8fn7wc5n This upcoming offseason will be the last of the "covid year" for most college players, as next season's 4th-year seniors won't have a 5th year available. So that means a ton of "seniors" will be leaving NCAA Basketball a year from now. But right now, there are still plenty of talented players who'll have decisions to make. Will they go pro or could they return for a 5th year? .
  4. 7 days till game, might rain damn it

  6. Not sure which thread is best for this, decided to drop in here because of Hurley discussions... "You've got the wrong type of people around the inner circle of your players, they'll sink your program." Back-to-back March Madness champ Dan Hurley: "We spend a lot of time focusing on the parents" in recruiting By: ZACH BARNETT APR 9, 2024 UConn won its second straight men's basketball national title on Monday night, which cemented Dan Hurley as the Next Big Thing in college coaching. His Huskies became the first team since 2006-07 Florida to crowned kings of back-to-back Big Dances, but they did so by acheving a level of dominance no one has ever seen. Look at it this way: UConn will enter next March's Big Dance on a 12-game tournament winning streak. One could subtract 12 points from the Huskies' score in all 12 games... and they'd still have a 12-game tournament winning streak. Unlike Billy Donovan -- who built those Gators teams around a nucleus of four NBA players and then took the Orlando Magic job months later (only to later change his mind) -- Hurley is here to stay. The son of legendary high school coach Bob Hurley and the brother of legendary Duke point guard-turned-Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley, Dan Hurley appears in the college game to stay. The fervor with which he coaches and the culture within the NBA would mix like peanut butter and gasoline. Here in the college sports, we're going to be hearing from Dan Hurley a ton moving forward. At 51 years old, he's only been at UConn for six seasons. The 2023 team lost three players to the NBA, then got better. Even more rare, Hurley has built UConn without relying on super-blue-chip recruits or the portal. The team that tore through the 2024 NCAA Tournament had only three transfers on its roster. In an interview before the game with CBS This Morning, Hurley explained the key ingredient to the culture-building process in Storrs. It starts in the recruiting process with an evaluation of the parents just as much as the player. "There's measurable talents you have to have -- the height, the speed, the skill set. But we spend a lot of time really focusing on the parents," Hurley said. "Are they going to be fans of their son or are they going to be parents? Are they going to hold them accountable, have an expectation that when something goes wrong that it's not the coach's fault? That their son's got to work harder, he's got to do more, he's got to earn his role." When pressed on how he evaluates recruits' parents, Hurley said this: "Have they played on seven different travel teams? Have they transferred to four or five different high schools? When you talk to the parents in the recruiting process, are they constantly complaining about the coaches after a bad game or are you having a conversation where their son has got to do more, got to play harder, he's got to work on his skills. They tell on themselves. They drop hints. You've got the wrong type of people around the inner circle of your players, they'll sink your program."
  7. SIAP... Here's how much Colorado is charging to attend its NIL fundraising dinner Want to spend $20,000 to eat dinner with Coach Prime? Too bad, that table's already full.

  8. Restroom break??? I already thought Rhule wore Depends...
  9. The highest-paid defensive coordinators in college football: 2024 edition The highest-paid assistant coach in college football is once again a defensive coordinator. The top seven are, in fact. ZACH BARNETT APR 8, 2024 We do this every year, and we do it because it's necessary. After kicking off our series with the offensive coordinators last week, we move to the defensive side of the ball today. As has been the case for a while now, seven defensive play-callers will earn more than the highest-paid offensive coordinator in college football. And of those seven, five were not in that group a year ago. Blake Baker and D'Anton Lynn netted huge raises in switching jobs; we don't know what Wink Martindale was making with the New York Giants, but he's doing okay at Michigan. And in case you missed the first installment, this year we're presenting the market a little bit differently. Rather than a straight 1-through-50ish ranking, we lay out the market as it sits today broken down by dollar signs. (Update: Adam Fuller's contract, reported as a 3-year deal back in December, first reported here.) $2.5 million: Blake Baker, LSU $2.3 million: Wink Martindale, Michigan $2.15 million: Pete Golding, Ole Miss $2.015 million: Adam Fuller, Florida State $2 million: D'Anton Lynn, USC; Al Golden, Notre Dame; Glenn Schumann, Georgia $1.9 million: Jim Knowles, Ohio State; Phil Parker, Iowa $1.8 million: Pete Kwiatkowski, Texas $1.7 million: Tosh Lupoi, Oregon $1.6 million: Tony White, Nebraska $1.55 million: Kane Wommack, Alabama $1.5 million: Tim Banks, Tennessee; Tony Gibson, NC State; Joe Rossi, Michigan State; Morgan Scalley, Utah; Brad White, Kentucky $1.4 million: Wes Goodwin, Clemson $1.3 million: Travaris Robinson, Georgia* $1.2 million: Austin Armstrong, Florida; DJ Durkin, Auburn; Clayton White, South Carolina $1.175 million: Travis Williams, Arkansas $1.1 million: Bryant Haines, Indiana $1.05 million: Tim DeRuyter, Texas Tech $1 million: Corey Batoon, Missouri; Chris Hampton, Oregon*; Coleman Hutzler, Mississippi State; Ikaika Malloe, UCLA $925,000: Peter Sirmon, Cal $900,000: Mickey Conn, Clemson*; Johnny Nansen, Texas* $875,000: Maurice Linguist, Alabama*; Chris Marve, Virginia Tech; John Rudzinski, Virginia; Brian Williams, Maryland $850,000: Zac Alley, Oklahoma*; Corey Heatherman, Minnesota; Kevin Kane, Purdue $825,000: Joe Klanderman, Kansas State $800,000: Robert Livingston, Colorado; Mike Tressel, Wisconsin; Brian Ward, Arizona State $757,000: Randy Bates, Pitt $750,000: Shiel Wood, Houston $725,000: Keith Heyward, Oregon State $700,000: Ron English, Louisville*; Mark Hagen, Louisville*; Aaron Henry, Illinois; Jordan Lesley, West Virginia $650,000: Bryan Nardo, Oklahoma State $625,000: Colin Hitschler, Alabama* $600,000: Brian Borland, Kansas; Joe Bob Clements, Oklahoma State* * - Co-coordinator Missing: Duane Akina, Arizona; Jay Bateman, Texas A&M; Steve Belichick, Washington; Geoff Collins, North Carolina; Adam Fuller, Florida State; Ted Roof, UCF; Tyler Santucci, Georgia Tech; Tyson Veidt, Cincinnati
  10. The highest-paid special teams coordinators in college football: 2024 edition ZACH BARNETT APR 11, 2024 We've hit the offensive and defensive coordinators, and so now it's time to round out the coordinators in our annual assistant coaching salary survey by examining special teams. This is a lighter list than the two counterparts, both in dollars paid and the number of entrants on the list. Not every head coach designates a special teams coordinator, and a rising number of those that do -- I'd estimate 20 percent -- put their special teams coordinators off the field. And then you have Steve Sarkisian, who pays his special teams coordinator more than a million bucks a year. Of course, Jeff Banks is also Texas's assistant head coach, tight ends coach, and carries a significant load in recruiting, but that's the deal when you coach special teams -- hardly anybody just coordinates special teams. Managing six different units isn't enough, apparently. As always, information gleaned via open records and/or media reports, or from the USA Today database when the prior two are unavailable. $1.15 million: Jeff Banks, Texas $900,000: Mike Reed, Clemson $800,000: Joe DeCamillis, South Carolina $750,000: John Papuchis, Florida State $700,000: Joe Lorig, Oregon; LeVar Woods, Iowa $650,000: Sharrieff Shah, Utah $575,000: Mike Ekeler, Tennessee $550,000: Jay Boulware, Kentucky; Ed Foley, Nebraska; Kenny Perry, Texas Tech $548,000: Todd Goebbel, NC State $525,000: Keith Bhonapha, Michigan State*; Stu Holt, Virginia Tech $515,000: Scott Fountain, Arkansas $500,000: Grant Cain, Indiana; Slade Nagle, LSU; Larry Porter, North Carolina $450,000: Marty Biagi, Notre Dame; Kerry Coombs, Cincinnati; Erik Link, Missouri; Charlie Ragle, Arizona State $400,000: Kirk Benedict, Georgia $375,000: Jake Schoonover, Ole Miss $370,000: Robby Discher, Illinois $360,000: Keith Gaither, Virginia $355,000: Vic So'oto, Cal $350,000: Matt Mitchell, Wisconsin; Chad Wilt, Michigan State* $345,000: Bob Ligashesky, Minnesota $324,000: Ricky Brumfield, Georgia Tech $310,000: Kodi Whitfield, UCLA $300,000: Brian Blackmon, UCF; Jamie Christian, Oregon State; James Thomas, Jr., Maryland; Nick Whitworth, Washington State $290,000: Taiwo Onatolu, Kansas $250,000: Karl Maslowski, Louisville * - Co-special teams coordinator Missing: Patrick Dougherty, Texas A&M; Danny Gonzales, Arizona; Cliff Odom, Mississippi State; Jordan Paopao, Washington; Chris Petrilli, Purdue
  11. This did not age well. A 3-putt bogey on #17 today causes Clark to miss cut by 1 stroke.
  12. Ohio State salary pool for assistants reportedly reaches all-time high The Buckeyes staff led college football in staff salary last season, and that pool just got significantly bigger. DOUG SAMUELS 5 HOURS AGO Ohio State paid out a record sum among college football programs for their assistant coaches last season. This year, that figure has seen a significant increase, reaching the elite eight-figure threshold. Per a report today from The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio State is set to pay $11.43 million in combined basic compensation to their 10-on field assistant coaches this fall. Last season, the Buckeyes led all of college football when their assistant coach salary pool was $9.32 million. A large chunk of that increase is çan be directed at the hire of Chip Kelly as the Buckeyes new offensive coordinator. Kelly is in the $2 million per year coordinator club with a three-year deal in Columbus, and he replaces Corey Dennis, who made $412,000 coaching the quarterbacks last season. Defensive coordinator Jim Knowles also received a recent pay bump to bring his salary to $2.2 million Since USA Today started to compile salary data for assistant coaches in 2009, the $11.43 million salary pool is the largest college football has ever seen. However, Ohio State is not the first program to hit the eight-figure mark, as Kirby Smart and Georgia are set to pay assistant coaches $10.1 million for this fall. The Buckeyes, like many other blue-blood programs in college football, are set to pay a number of assistants at least $1 million this fall including: Co-OC Brian Hartline - $1.6 million Secondary Coach Tim Walton - $1.4 million DL Coach Larry Johnson - $1.4 million OL Coach Justin Frye - $1 million Newly hired running backs coach Carlos Locklyn will make $650k this year, while Matt Guerrieri (safeties) will earn $425k, Keenan Bailey (TEs) will make $400k and James Laurinaitis (LBs) will make $350k.
