It can also be used as an adjective in phrases. But yes, it’s primarily a noun. This isn’t an English class lecture bro.


The word you were looking for is “assemble”.

You “assemble” a roster. That roster can then be referred to as an “ensemble”.

Pro tip....when you're corrected on grammar, don't always take it so personally. Use it as a chance to learn.

Pro PRO tip.....when you're corrected, don't double down on your previous mistake.

The NCAA has not cleared any of our Euros to play next year yet and if they really want to be assholes they can put their 5 for 5 rule in place that makes most of them inelgible bsed on a combo of age and the amount of money they made in Europe.


The new guideline is not going to apply to this year. So no, they wont do that.

This is actually way more likely an probable than what you assume.

I don't see anyway they can change rules like that and make it effective immediately when people have been completing rosters under different set of rules. Plus I don't see them being able to do that without declaring the older Euro guys on current rosters ineligible which would cause a big ole stink across the country.

Exactly. This will go into effect next year. They also kept the language very vague and subjective in regards to the overseas salaries and "quality" of the leagues.

These are just guidelines to give framework for the new rulings which will be enforced next season. This is something that has to be fleshed out before portals open, not right before they close.

Are we thinking the majority of this roster will be here and then gone in a year?

Everything written and talked about outside of this board says that they will try to enforce it this year. It’s only people in here that claim “they can’t do it this year cuz it’s too late.” Please show me a source that shows me I’m wrong, I’d actually love that ti be the case.

I agree that it would be bullshite to enforce a rule at this point but since when did the NCAA start using logic to make decisions?

According to who? The issue with the NCAA is that they do whatever they want, when they want. The inconsistency is what makes people hate them. They see Euro pros as a problem, they can ban them now if they want to. I agree it’ll cause lots of issues but the NCAA is a dumb organization.

No matter the outcome of 26-27, 80% of the roster will be gone this time next year. It’s gonna be the nature of all new coach and underperforming programs for the rest of this decade. IMO until ncaa caps transfer without eligibility loss.

Fortunately for us several other schools that are doing the same have coaches the media don't have it out for, in fact quite a few....this year will be grandfathered in.

I recall Brett Favre fleshing it out while with the Vikings. It didn't go very well for him and I suspect WW will also face difficulties if he tries to flesh it out before the portal closes.

But lane kiffin always thinks inside the box and is more successful and has way less stress than WW. On the downside, he sometimes smells musty even yeasty after pondering a decision for a long time. Hard to say who and which thinking location is better but I will say Kiffin is neck and neck with John Brady for hottest wife/side piece/ back up side piece/ daughter combo shalom bishes
