So Miss in good shape with Brannon

Three-star OL prospect Hunter Brannon from Cullman (AL) High has long one been one of Southern Miss' top priorities on the offensive line. Recently the offers have been piling up for Brannon and the competition getting even stiffer for the Eagles.

Are the Eagles still in good shape with Brannon? That's the question we asked on Sunday afternoon.

LT starting pitcher

If I researched the right kid, 6'2" 225lb transfer from Hinds CC.

Had over a 4 era there and was mostly a reliever.

Has moved into starting rotation at Tech and thrown 2 complete games.
55 innings, 40 something Ks, 40 something hits, about 15 BBs, couple of hit batters, only 8 earned runs.

Their pitching coach (former PRCC coach I think) obviously recognized a diamond in the rough and has done a great job of developing him.

We need to make him throw a lot of pitches and get him out of game early. Doesn't appear to be a strike out pitcher but doesn't give out many free passes.
Probably as good as most Friday guys we have faced. May have a chip on his shoulder if we did not offer him.

Huge game for lots of reasons.

Thinking out loud, new league

Ok lets speculate for a moment that the Big 12 raids the AAC and takes two of their big market teams.

For the sake of this conversation lets say that they take Memphis and Cincinnati.

I think that there some logic that a newly formed league of the teams from the AAC and C-USA that are the most geographically clumped together to form a league.

There is only a matter of time before the ACC comes for UConn.

Would this be a better arrangement be a new league that looks something like this?

East Division

East Carolina
Charlotte
UCF
USF
FAU
MTSU
WKU

West Division

Houston
SMU
La Tech
Southern Miss
ULL
Tulane
Rice

Take into account travel costs, ability to build real rivalries and gain some real traction.

Football Realignment

I saw this story about TV money and how it's going to lead to another round of conference realignment and thought it was pretty interesting, if long. It predicts a bunch more shuffling and consolidation with a several programs getting the boot from major conferences in favor of schools in bigger TV markets (like Cincinnati, Memphis, maybe San Diego State). Has some crazy predictions too, but a lot of it does make sense and it's the offseason so I thought I'd share it.
