    Last note...apparently there is more to Dan Lanning's contract than we realized.  By winning 10 games, it is now automatically extended to 2029 and receiving 9.2 million that year.  There is also deferred compensation of an undisclosed amount that would bump his annual current salary up from the seven million.

     

    And it is rumored there is NIKE stock involved that becomes his when he stays a given amount of time?

    The NIKE stock option could be quite the incentive to stay long term. College football really is turning into big a corporation, complete with employee stock based compensation. Big corporations have been doing this for a long time to attract and keep the best talent, guess it makes sense for football now.

     

    How long before top QB prospects are getting a Nike stock option? Might be just the incentive to locking down the best players as well.

     

    Football is going fully corporate.🤢🤮

  2. Penix didn't look right from the beginning, the whole team came out with a deer in the headlights look. Hard to win a big time game when you take the first quarter off, kind of like what the ducks did in the PAC-12 championship. 

     

    I've often wondered if playing in a dome affects the QBs. In basketball it's very common for players to have off shooting nights in large domes when they're used to playing in small gyms. If memory serves me right Bo hasn't looked as good throwing in games in  domes. In the Georgia Dome and Allegiant Stadium his throws were shaky to start the game.

     

    I haven't watched a lot of Washington games but Penix was missing some very easy throws at the start of the game.

    This team needs their bigs I believe if they are going to make the tournament and have any success when they get there but I love watching them play.

    I can't believe they have done so well down low. Most the time it's Evans guarding a guy way bigger than him and he's doing well. On the weak side down low you have Couisnard 6'4", Tracy 6'5", or Oquendo 6'4" garding the 4 spot. Lucky all these guys have some beef to them at 220bl + and surprisingly they aren't getting pushed around with some pretty decent rebounding.

    It's incredibly early to say this, but I've seen enough to say that I think if Shelsted stay for 3 years he'll become the best point guard in our history, that includes some really good ones in Brandon, Brooks, and Pritchard.  He is everything I hoped for and more, just an incredible talent that I hope will stick around for two more years simply because he isn't as big as you typically see leave early for the NBA, he's actually smaller than Peyton so I'm hoping that means he won't hear the draft projections that make him want to go. 

    He could be a 4 year player for that very reason, not many 6' PG getting drafted very high nowadays.

  5. The ducks are looking good so far. Can't believe they're holding down the middle with Evans at 6'9" 220bl and Diawara at 6'10" 265bl. To be honest Diawara is only averaging 16 minutes a game, most the time a 6'4" guard is in the 4 spot.

     

    Dana is coaching some great small ball with lots of ball movement and tenacious defence. Can't wait to have Cook and Dante back.
