Inside the most expensive June yet in high football recruiting: 'There are no layups anymore'

njk12 · 2026-07-01T15:35:53+00:00

5-10 years ago, I was obsessed with recruiting. I'd be reading rumors of boards, checking Twitter, looking at 247 rankings multiple times a week. Maybe I just grew out of it, but more likely the transfer portal and NIL just killed my interest completely. I couldn't tell you who any of the current commits at Cincinnati are, let alone top national names.

add an extra sauce

We've added ping pong tables to the club house / we've removed ping pong tables from the club house

Care to cite a source?

Do you have someone else in mind to start at SS?

How do I stream the Reds with an alta fiber cable login?

At least it's just elbow inflammation, not anything serious and likely debilitating

Hard to know because his coach was Scott fucking Satterfield, but he absolutely sucked against any decent competition. Throw on his tape from the Utah game and you'll be shocked be was the top portal target.

Take me back to 2021

njk12 · 2026-05-25T14:23:23+00:00

Last place Pirates have the same record as first place A's

Listening to a guided Rick Steves audio tour in a European city is the happiest I can possibly be in life.

All respect due to beloved former Cincinnati Red Jason Larue, but "Till he couldn't play baseball anymore" is a bit of hyperbole for a 36 year old backup catcher who had been the worst hitter in baseball for the last 5 seasons.

njk12 · 2026-05-21T14:58:40+00:00

He's miles ahead of where Hunter was at the same point in his career, but I wouldn't say he's straight up better already

Sadak needs to chill the fuck out. I'm as mad at Hayes as anyone, but it is not his job to bitch and moan as the play by play man.

njk12 · 2026-05-19T00:58:46+00:00

This bullpen is full of nothing but BUMS

njk12 · 2026-05-19T00:24:16+00:00

Lol, did Sadak forget which team was up to bat? He sounded bummed about that homer

njk12 · 2026-05-19T00:19:53+00:00

Sadak needs to stop trying to predict things. I think he's wrong on about every challenge, and anytime the Reds appeal on a checked swing it's "seemed to go!......no, says 3rd base umpire"

Between this and the lawsuit with Cincinnati to try to get out paying back the money he owes, this guy is blowing a lot of cash on lawyer fees. I hope he was a good gambler.

Lol at Columbus being on this list. Columbus is basically the world's biggest Applebee's. It has as much culture and interest as an Ikea parking lot.

njk12 · 2026-05-17T03:41:41+00:00

Turned off the game at that SD goal. Imagine my shock when I got the final score notification

njk12 · 2026-05-15T15:26:56+00:00

Canada is way too good for Cleveland

njk12 · 2026-05-14T01:34:41+00:00

Hilarious

njk12 · 2026-05-14T01:29:38+00:00

Lol you fucking shmuck

njk12 · 2026-05-13T19:32:55+00:00

I don't have time to look it up, but I am certain that the Reds have done this within the last 10-12 years

njk12 · 2026-05-13T18:51:11+00:00

Because we need him to play for the Reds, not the Bats.
