This guy got this so i copied and pasted. Read it, I found this interesting

Self-Rebound % = Self Rebounds / Total Rebounds After analyzing the data, here’s what I found to be true: *Angel Reese is in the 99th percentile among frontcourt players for both self-rebound % (Mean = 3.7%, Angel = 8.5%) and self-rebounds per game (Mean = .197/g, Angel = 1.12/g). *She’s also in just the 6th percentile for 2-point field goal percentage (Mean = 49.6%, Angel = 41.0%), so she misses a lot around the rim and has more chances to rebound herself. *In a chart of Self-Rebound % vs Rebounds per Game (slide 1), she’s in the top right corner. She rebounds a lot, and a big chunk of that is her own misses. *In Self-Rebound % vs 2pt FG% (slide 2), there isn’t much of a trend overall, but Angel sits alone in the bottom right with low shooting percentage and a very high share of rebounds from her own missed shots. However: I also created a stat called Adjusted Rebounds per Game (slide 3), where I subtract self-rebounds per game from total rebounds per game. The idea is to level the playing field. Who’s pulling down boards that aren’t coming off their own missed shots? After adjusting, Angel Reese still leads the league in Rebounds per Game over the past 10 years. So yes, she does miss a lot, and a higher share of her rebounds come from her own missed shots than any other player. But even without counting those, she still leads in overall rebounding. The self-rebounds inflate her totals, but they don’t create the whole number out of nothing. She’s a high-miss, high-motor player and still a dominant rebounder either way. To be honest, I've seen the clips and the memes and I expected to come away with a more negative conclusion, but the truth is she's a force on the boards. It’s not always clean or efficient, but she’s young, her shot will improve, and she’s dominant regardless. Let me know if anyone wants to see more of the data or my code. I know many of you are likely tired of this discussion, but I just wanted to share my findings and I hope you at least find it interesting.

2005 NC. Texas vs USC was an incredible football game.


Best game, my favorite also
Vince Young was incredible

Best ending finish was 2013 Auburn vs Alabama game ending field goal return; this was best ever finish

very good comment

phrase “defense wins championships”?

Which is why Angel has won 5 in her life

Angel actually is very good, looked up her scoring average and she ranks 19th in the WNBA, surprised me that she actually ranks that high
The OP clearly states why anyone would pay her to play sports and also says he has never seen someone worse at their job in pro sports

Her shooting percentage is 2nd lowest in the top 20, he teammate Rhyne Howard is the worst of the top 20 scores so there is plenty room for improvement, but her rebounding makes her a very valuable player

Final comment is that many of those shots underneath the basket are physical struggles and if the referees are letting them play then Angels arms are sore after games.

My lord. Someone pays her to play this sport for a living?

The clips of her missing wide open layups is to many to list.

I don’t think I have ever seen someone in “pro” sports worse at their job.


Leads the WNBA in rebounding
Great defender
6th in the WNBA in steals
Leads the WNBA in double-doubles

Scoring is one part of the game

She is a WNBA star, Dennis Rodman was a NBA star and Angel reminds me of Rodman.

Joe Burrow would have 100% opted out


Joe Burrow won the Heisman, finished the season and not only played post season, he played in the playoffs and won the National Championship total of 15 games.

Joe did not opt out but very well could have and for sure he would have not gotten hurt during the post season

Daniels played 12 games finished 9-3, opted out to protect his future which is his decision and respect the man.

Don't say Joe Burrow would 100 percent opt out because he didn't however the game was different, no NIL and opting out wasn't a thing.

US News and World News has ranked all of the states.
Louisiana comes in at #50.


That is what the report says, you should be know that Mississippi comes in at #48

I would not be bragging about coming in 2nd to the worst, not considering Alaska being #49

The bottom five states in the U.S. News & World Report ranking were:

Louisiana
Alaska
Mississippi
New Mexico
Michigan
Louisiana was not only last overall, but also last for “crime and corrections.” It ranked second-to-last for economy and natural environment, as well.

Mississippi ranked last for health care and New Mexico was worst for education.

Not sure about that, athletic and only his 3rd season.

Jayden Daniels only became elite after his 3rd season.
Season 4 his moved to LSU showed his promise
Season 5 Jayden won the Heisman
1st season as a pro he was awesome

Arch may come around sooner than you think but most are correct today he has not classified as elite to date.

I think he will be very good before he turns pro

A 10 year old should never be called a young man.

Child 0 to 1st grade?
Young boy 2nd to 8th grade?
Teenager 9th grade through 12th grade
Young man 19 to 24

No where does young male relate to size and financial status

You may debate what my generation calls a male at different ages but no one I know uses size and money to describe a male at different age stages

Only 250 golfers on PGA tour have won 5 tournaments or more. Sam has won 5 times on tour and this puts him in the elite category for PGA tour players.

Sam learned how to win years ago and is a winner for sure, quit with the negative

1971 LSU vs Texas A&M, a blowout and will never forget the chant after the game.
"GO TO HELL OLE MISS GO TO HELL"

at that time did not understand the chant.

Remember vividly pregame eating Kentucky Fried Chicken in the parking lot just West of the stadium

What makes soccer special to me, a team can totally dominate the game and still only win by 1 goal. A true team sport

Beautiful sport, the athletes are so fluid

I’m sure there’s logical explanations but I am still perplexed by Perkins massive impact his freshman year and never returning to that type of big play ability?


Injury, ACL tear junior year 3rd season
Freshman year and Sophomore years were similar stat wise
Obviously ACL tear limited him to playing in 4 games junior season

Senior year was off and not all recoveries happen quick and some never recover.

Somehow fans assume that all ACL tears and other injuries are the same with athletes fully recovering the same.

Should not be on the list
great talent but he served his time and should be in the NFL or have a job

College football needs a huge overhaul and never will get it

One day soon a kid will get his 7th season to prove himself

Wild that people do not know this and good post

Go win a few games

The great tight ends are valuable for sure, but a mediocre player on the field just to put a tight end may not be better

For arguments sake spreading the field with 4 or 5 receivers can open up the running game getting defensive players out of the tight box

Great Tight Ends are super hard to find

Tony Gonzalez
Rob Gronkowski
Shannon Sharpe
Travis Kelce
Winslow

He didn’t pan out the way I expected.


The high ankle sprain during pre season practice totally negated his 3rd and last season
Miles needed to win so badly that he started LF against Wisconsin,

LF's freshman season was limited play.
Remember the drama of losing Speedy Noil and a year later the kid tanks his career.

This kid had all the talent but never got to show it after high school

Hopefully? What is wrong with you? Wasn’t LSU awful before her? I really don’t get some of the hate around here.


Not so sure there is hate of Kim M.
More spending 3 million dollars too much on a coach and losing 7.9 million a year on a sport but the actual loss would be more if Kim were not coaching at LSU.

This is more a title 9 thing and if you're going to invest in title 9 then Kim is an excellent choice and has proven she can win championships with talent LINK

read the link and look at the spending on Mulkey in a different way
