    Thanks, I looked it up and read where it is popular for law or medicine. Maybe Braun is thinking of law school instead of engineering.

    Do you ever read any historical fiction on the ancient civilizations? I've been reading a lot of Conn Iggulden's books and am currently reading his novels on Genghis Khan, and while they are fiction there is much actual information in them that I never was aware of. Of course, it's always best to look up a lot of the stuff in the books so as to really glean the facts. His books on the Greeks and Romans are very good as well.

    In my day, you go into "that kind" to get into door-to-door encyclopedia sales. Maybe he knows they are making a comeback.;)

    Yeah, that is a "I got a STEM degree" shot at others. Live with it.

    I do occasionally. Last one I read was the series by Robert Harris based on Ancient Rome. I believe the book titles were Imperium, Conspirata, and Dictator.

    Thanks for the tip on Robert Harris. I'm finishing up the series on Genghis Khan and will look into Harris next. Conn Iggulden wrote a good series on ancient Rome as well.

    I'm sure that Leonard starting over him when Torrance couldn't play this past weekend was the final message he needed.

    How is this within the rules?
    He has not entered the portal, can't until Dec 5th.

    Perhaps because he is no longer on the team? Agree it would seem he is still on an athletic scholarship until end of the semester m, but perhaps aid ended when he quit the team? Not certain of rules?

    I was under the impression that schools could not have contact with a player until they were officially in the portal. The portal is closed right now and players cannot enter until Dec 5th.

    As mentioned above, he left the team and that could be a loophole. But he is still on scholarship until the end of the term.

    Interesting site. How do they know the NIL value (and I'll be honest, how are some of those guys getting NIL offers..not hating, just saying)?

    If and when AR leaves early for the Draft, I hope BN is all over Hudson Card the same day (assuming Card enters the portal)

    Sounds like already visited FSU and very interested. I thought Arkansas too but I’d say FSU in the end. Sorry as not great with linking. Read it on FSU site.

    Here is an old video, when FSU still had Taggart. So, he's visited FSU before, and there are NEW pics and videos of him recently on FSU's campus. I'll post them If I find them.
