As far back as 2023, @natetice.bsky.social had Drake Maye as the No. 1 quarterback in the 2024 draft over Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels who received the majority of hype at the time

As of now — he’s been proven very correct

College basketball finally returns today😃

Bluesky's CBB activity is FAR too low, but I'll keep posting here all the same. Here's a big Starter Pack I created about a year ago. Share it! If there are accounts posting about ball near-daily that should be added, let me know and I'll share tonight.

In the 2018 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns took Deandre Ayton with the 1st pick

On The Ringer’s live stream, Simmons (along with the majority of the staff) immediately criticized the choice as they thought Luka Doncic was the easy pick

Correct analysis on a decision that will haunt the Suns for years

“Oh he just rode Mahomes to being right.”

Again — injury luck. But even so, he still nailed the single seasons both the Rams and Bucs won it all in the middle of the Mahomes run

We don’t talk about this enough. Doubt anyone will be this lucky again

Peter Schrager’s legendary streak.

For 5 straight years he predicted the Super Bowl Winner —

2020: Chiefs
2021: Bucs
2022: Rams
2023: Chiefs
2024: Chiefs

He even went out on top by getting the full matchup in 2024 correct. The amount of injury luck and knowledge to achieve this was INSANE

Tyler Puryear, better known as Dragonfly Jonez, had the most correct take on Brian Kelly in LSU right off the bat

Perfect, no notes

During the 1984 Olympics, Bobby Knight said Michael Jordan was “the best basketball player I’ve ever seen”

This was before MJ entered the league and after a draft in which he was the 3rd player taken

No one in the history of basketball has been this hyperbolic of a player and been this correct

Before the 2024 NFL Draft, Dan Orlovsky took to ESPN and explained why Jayden Daniels should be the No. 1 overall pick

Caleb Williams was heavily seen as the No. 1 pick, and many called him generational. Orlovsky went against the majority, and picked the future ROTY who has been better thus far

3 Days before the 2005 NFL Draft — to the shock of his colleague Rich Eisen — Mike Mayock not only predicted the infamous and surprising Aaron Rodgers fall, but he also got the team and pick right: No. 24 to the Packers

Rodgers’ fall was the first memorable modern Draft moment, and Mayock called it

Much deserved. You're one of the good ones!

Keep up the great work

Lifelong, tortured Jets fan @seanfennessey.bsky.social predicts correctly the New York Jets would have a disastrous 2024 season, everyone *was* fired and Rodgers did leave the team

Jets failure is callable, but he went against the hype at the time and knew they would stink to high hell #Integrity

You know who isn't a pathetic loser?

You when you correctly knew the Ravens getting both Kyle Hamilton and Tyler Linderbaum in the same round was unfair in what turned out to be a bad overall NFL draft class for most other teams

Ben Solak was not a fan of Zach Wilson leading up to the 2021 NFL Draft. While Wilson wasn’t seen as a generational prospect, most experts liked him in what was considered a great QB class

Solak correctly saw beyond the pro day videos and cool headband and saw a flawed prospect
