Admittedly I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of the WNBA, but what exactly is the point of even having a draft if you're just going to cut a pick three weeks later, after two preseason games?

Bound to happen sooner or later.

Shoulda asked Dave how he's doing at the tables so far.

Not the most surprising news, but it hurts nonetheless. Sure hope it's not a major arm injury.

One thing we can say for sure about his NCAA tenure: it certainly was a tenure that happened. Tough break for him, though. Not always easy to find these high paying jobs where you don't have to do anything.

"We made a deep tournament run," they'll say. "We played for the national championship," they'll say. See, we figured out how to not win a national title like four months ago. Now who's the sucker.

Mmm ... NCAA tournament brunchsketball.

That pendulum sure swung quickly from "he's re-classing to 2022 to help immediately" to "he's not going to play here." Just makes Kevin Keatts' task that much more difficult.

The unique world of pro-wrestling and its flag bearer, the WWE have never been short on star college athletes eventually becoming superstars and champions. This is especially true of former athletes from ACC institutions like Roman Reigns (Joe Anoai) at Georgia Tech, Ron Simmons at Florida State, Dwayne Johnson at The U, and, one of our own, Charlotte Flair. Well along with current performer Julius Creed (Jacob Kasper), an ACC champion wrestler from Duke, former NC State OL Joe Sculthorpe has signed a developmental deal with WWE. This means he'll train with their coaches on the physical and theatrical challenges of becoming a successful pro-wrestler and will hopefully get a chance to introduce his character on TV somewhere down the road. With his fight and reliability in the trenches here, he seems ready made to have an impact in this kind of industry. Just don't get used to his name being his name (as cool as Sculthorpe already sounds) that company has a tendency want their own branding no matter how ridiculous it sounds. Good luck and #Go Pack to Joe!

Allen was honored on Senior Day, so his departure was not unexpected.
