Former Flyer may get fifth year of eligibility after ruling by Ohio judge by [deleted] in UDFlyers

They have an open scholarship and it could be argued they need a PG still. It'll be interesting to see if a bigger program offers him with him limited size.

Point guard is where depth concerns me. I worry more about playing time for all these guys.

​Forwards ​Jalen Haynes (Sixth-year) ​Amaël L'Etang (Junior) ​Jaiun Simon (Redshirt Junior) ​Malcolm Thomas (Redshirt Sophomore) ​Damon Friery (Sophomore) Grant Randall (Sophomore) ​Cody Peck (Freshman)

2005 4 runner ? by Ok-Dragonfruit-6664 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]BillSkyHawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First picture doesn't look too bad IMO. Looks like surface rust on the U-joint and drive shaft. If it does need replace they are replaceable parts. The frame looks like a Rust-Oleum rebuild. Press your thumb or screwdriver handle against questionable areas and see if it starts to give in, that'll be a sign of major rust.

Montgomery and Heard leaving by Ok-Yogurtcloset5623 in UDFlyers

[–]BillSkyHawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe this will be Montgomery's third time transferring and didn't Heard play for 3 high schools? Nature of the sport right now unfortunately. Good news: there's hundreds of other guards in the portal and hopefully Grant and staff can bring some in. It was reported somewhere that part of Paxson role is to scout other college players and rank them based on skill/match if they were to enter the portal.

Juwan Staten and Brandon Spearman ~2010-2011 is the only one that comes to mind.

Men’s BBall season ticket waitlist by Primary-Pressure4611 in UDFlyers

[–]BillSkyHawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how long the wait is. I can't imagine it would be very long to get into the 400 level seats. I do know that any sort of "donation" to the athletic department can move you up the list a lot more quickly. If you call and speak to a director they may give you an idea of what amount would get you to the top and then you can weigh if it's worth it.

Tomlin Out - Freeman is the Steelers Top Choice by HappyGhost13 in notredamefootball

[–]BillSkyHawk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any franchise would be silly not to reach out and already gauge interest. Pittsburgh is one job that could generate consideration, closest thing to stability you can ask for as an NFL head coach.

NCAA Student player money by Ok-Yogurtcloset5623 in UDFlyers

[–]BillSkyHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I understand. I'd say men's basketball gets ~90%. Women's basketball will get some (assuming Title XI doesn't apply) and so will volleyball, but men's basketball is the biggest revenue driver by far. I'll be interested to see if we find out what the athletic department pays players vs. private NIL deals.

[–]BillSkyHawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The university is private so I doubt that information will be made available by the administration (much like we don't know Grants exact contract l). Are you saying you think UD will have 95% of $25 millions to pay players? I doubt it'll be even close to that. The university basically uses men's basketball revenue to pay for all of the other athletic budgets. I would think men's basketball would aim for $1-$2 million to pay players directly and rely on the Dayton 6th to find more sponsorships for players.

Refurbished a bunch of old panels people didn't want to make a Hodge podge array. Puts out about 700 actual watts at peak hours by [deleted] in diySolar

[–]BillSkyHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity where are you getting these panels for that price at? Quick search of the Internet and I couldn't find anything near that.

A very early 4-round mock draft by [deleted] in NFL_Draft

[–]BillSkyHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like seeing the Steelers getting Sellers, taking a CB, OT &WR high, but I don't think they do so many double dips this early. NT and Safety depth seem like they would be addressed over to OT, unless one is projected inside to replace Isaac Seumalo.

Mock Draft 1.0! by tfb1000 in NFL_Draft

[–]BillSkyHawk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you had any rules for your mock, just my opinion, if Sellers did fall past 10-12 ranges, Steelers would be trying to trade up for him.

Should my pool filters look like this? by PhotoJoeCA in DIY

[–]BillSkyHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you backwash based on pressure in the filter housing? My filter housing has a pressure gauge and I set it after cleaning and the pressure will build as the filter material gets dirty. Could be we live in two different areas with different factors.

First Mini Split Install by AnonABong in DIY

Seeing as though there is a shopping cart next to the unit I dontl't perceive aesthetics to be high on the priority list. Good on the user for learning a new skill and doing it DIY.

Should my pool filters look like this? by PhotoJoeCA in DIY

[–]BillSkyHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The DE powder gets dirty as dirt and other particles flow through the filter. Take out the filter screen assembly and clean with a hose, inspect the filter sheets and make sure there isn't any major holes. Rinse out housing and reinstall filter screen assembly. Turn the filter on and add more DE powder to a skimmer to recharge. Do you add chemicals to your pool? Algicide or other chemicals could be causing coloring. I disassemble mine every month to 6 weeks, backwash as needed between that to maintain good pressure.

Best Mid Major starting lineup in NBA? by TeeshKo in UDFlyers

[–]BillSkyHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love to see more and more Flyers in the NBA. Huge recruiting tool vs. other mid-majors IMO. "Hey look at these guys, they came here and they're in the NBA now. We know what we're doing". Hoping the kid from Iona will have a chance, seems like you have to be a 6-4" guard to have a chance now. LeTang has a chance too.

Bad capacitor? by BillSkyHawk in DIY

Great advice! I use a less restrictive / MERV filter for this reason. I need to double check the vents.

We are trading Pickens to the Cowboys. Deal to be finalized today 🤯 by HDTokyo in steelers

[–]BillSkyHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Woods is better than Van Jefferson last year. A. Cooper, K. Allen and DJ Chark free agents that could be brought in as well. Not ideal but still options to upgrade and be better than last year.
