• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Terrion Arnold dropped a handful in this statement describing Ladd McConkey:

"He's one of those guys, almost, I feel like, when you look at him, he kind of reminds me of like a more athletic version of a Slade Bolden. He kind of resembles Julian Edelman. So when you go down there, you're like, pfft, 'Look at this guy, man. You finna do this to me?' When you go out there and you look at him, I feel like people can underestimate him on tape or things like that. But the guy is a ballplayer. Great routes. And I mean, shot player. Normally people aren't taking shots with 5-foot-9 white guys, but I mean, he's open. He's open. The dude is a gamer."




What else you got?
 
It's like Reed Sheppard at UK. He keeps getting praise with the caveat that he isn't that athletic. Dude was dunking his freshman year of HS and can throw down with ease. People see a skinny white dude and just assume he doesn't have a 36"+ vertical. I can't wait til he dunks overtop someone and people act shocked.

Ladd is 6-foot-0, and is a more athletic Hunter Renfrow.
