Tuesday Randoms:
- Of course, Boat treats his birthday like a 22-year-old female. smh
- Pro Day Quicks:
* It's going to be fun watching Ulis this year. He may be the best PG in the land. I can't think of anyone I'd take over him. Dude's shot is almost underrated. Auto.
* Pretty smart decision by Cal getting a reclassified Humphries under the radar. That year of development will be key next year because the kid has the tools. Needs work on D but fairly polished already on offense. Watch for him to make a leap by March. Impressive introduction.
* Lee looks bigger. I'm curious about him. His athleticism is his calling card but his offensive feel is underrated. He's not a bad passer. It's there for him if he wants it.
* Briscoe is going to be so fun to watch. Unique style. I'm sure he'll piss us off at times but will be interesting to see how Cal fits him in.
* Mulder didn't show much but his charts were stupid. People keep comparing Matthews to Liggins and I get it, but I think he's a much better athlete. In fact, I think if he sures up his shot, he's two-and-done. He's nearly as athletic as Troy Williams with much better perimeter skills.
* You can just tell the talent of Skal and Murray. Skal moves like only about a dozen other 7-footers in the world. Add his pogo hops and sure jumper and wow. He's not AD, but he's definitely in that next tier talentwise. And Murray just carries himself like a star. Very efficient in his movement and has some sneaky bounce which you only see when he's exploding toward the rim.

- Great call from King Llama on Wolken's "Misery Index" CFB column. Great read every Monday. And by the way, this kind of lead is why KL is the most under-appreciated poster in GYERO. Doesn't get enough love despite years of consistently solid sports takes.
- [laughing] ESPN cancelling its Kevin Johnson 30-for-30 because he's basically another R. Kelly. How the hell did that doc get made anyway? There have been hints about the dude being a pedophile for over a decade.
- If last week's CFB docket was underwhelming, well this week certainly makes up for it...
Thurs- Auburn @ UK
Fri- UC @ BYU (not to mention Madness)
Sat- Ole Miss @ Memphis, UofL @ FSU, Bama @ A&M, Michigan State @ Michigan, Florida @ LSU, USC @ND
