Welcome to nan Morning Commute
Today we’re talking astir 2 young erstwhile Tigers who are making their measurement into nan NFL.
While nan Tigers had a patient number of players drafted a fewer weeks ago, Zion Young and Josiah Trotter made immoderate sound going back-to-back successful nan 2nd information to nan Ravens and Buccaneers respectively. And while it’s not precisely a astonishment to perceive that teams are excited astir precocious information picks, some Young and Trotter look to beryllium settling successful well, impressing and giving dream to their caller teams.
”I besides deliberation that he tin play successful coverage. I deliberation that’s a small spot of a misnomer. I don’t cognize if it’s nan communicative nan media is putting out, but he’s really beautiful bully astatine it,” [Tampa Bay Vice President of Player Personnel Mike] Biehl said. “That being said, he’s an aged school, downhill MIKE [linebacker] that tin play nan tally which is difficult to find nowadays. With nan assemblage crippled nan measurement it has went, it’s each lateral and everybody is looking for nan velocity stuff. To us, he has capable velocity to play successful our league. Now, if you said he’s a amended tally defender than a walk defender, I would opportunity yeah, that’s astir apt fair, but we deliberation he has nan capacity to beryllium a three-down linebacker.”
We consciousness really bully astir Zion, and we consciousness really bully astir Mike Green, not to mention Trey. It’s gonna beryllium difficult to get him disconnected nan field. So it becomes a matter of reps.”
This comes a week aft Young was praised by teammates for his earliest days successful purple and black.
Football play is still a fewer months away, but it’s looking apt Young and Trotter will spot plentifulness of nan section this fall/winter.
Yesterday astatine Rock M and Rock M+
We haven’t updated overmuch extracurricular of immoderate different players committing, Missouri was connected to James White, a erstwhile Ole Miss and UAB subordinate who played astatine New Orleans. We do expect Mizzou to return astatine slightest 1 much defender astatine this point.
If you don’t person nan transportation locator bookmarked astatine this point, what are you doing?
Q: What did you spot connected that last play of Friday’s information of nan game?
KJ: “Not much, it was foggy. When you look astatine it, I deliberation group tin reason and opportunity whether aliases not based disconnected Trackman it was a location tally aliases if it wasn’t a location run. I find it difficult to judge that astatine nan motorboat angle, and wherever he deed it successful nan parkland pinch dense aerial that nan shot really sewage out.”
As an Arsenal fan, I’m utilized to contention astatine nan extremity of games. Apologies for nan British shot reference.
Under Lacey [Rubin]’s leadership, Mizzou beam has reached caller heights. The beam squad doubly collapsed nan programme record, earning 49.575 scores connected 2 occasions successful 2025 — astatine Arkansas and successful NCAA Semis — and doubly vanished nan play classed no. 11, which was nan team’s highest ranking since 2021. They vanished no. 22 successful her first season.
If there’s a programme presently astatine Mizzou that tin withstand a nonaccomplishment for illustration this, it’s Gymnastics. So let’s dream it happens!
[Lauren Larkin] spent her first 2 years pinch nan Aggies, starring nan squad pinch 100 blocks successful 2024. She was a limb successful nan violative hit arsenic well, averaging 1.27 kills per group while hitting .408. Larkin’s biggest infinitesimal came successful nan first information of nan NCAA Tournament against Tennessee, racking up 8 kills, 2 blocks and 3 digs.
The transportation portal isn’t conscionable for hoops and football, and Volleyball is making bully usage of it.
