Wow - good stuff @BillySee58 That is a VERY telling stat. My suggestion is we start our own ranking based on P5 G5 and FCS offers... the problem is that there is not consistent validity to the offer lists as many of the offers are contingent on this etc. The recruiting services like Rivals etc rarely update their offer lists once the offer is given initially perhaps when an initial coaching staff is removed or replaced. So it appears we should use offers as the guideline with the caveat that offer lists are not always accurate.

Just a thought, but as bad and disappointing as the Houston loss was to swallow, there is an on-going bad taste hangover that I sense which will not go away like a normal bad loss would. It continues to linger. I think part of the problem is we are all facing the realization that this ever so memorable Mason Fine era is coming to an end. Like sand passing through an hourglass, every remaining game brings us closer to the curtain closing on a player who was larger than life and one that you will probably only see once in a lifetime.

Season still matters to everyone on here. We are not the problem. The problem is the many new faces who left the game dejected after the 3rd quarter last Saturday night. Those folks have checked out for the year. That said, winning a conference championship or bowl game would be a nice distraction from the disappointment of this year.

If there is anything to be taken from the Houston game, it is that we HAVE to stop using the 3-star system as our comfort zone in recruiting. The 3-star ranking is flawed and very subjective. 3-star rankings are not an accurate enough gauge of prospects ability or rankings. OFFERS are the best way to determine where you are. If a player has REAL offers it means something. Being able to say our entire class is all three stars was nice for a couple of years but I would rather sign a ton of 2-star guys that had significant, REAL (not dependent on x) offers from other good programs. Also, the recruiting services undervalue transfers who they originally gave high rankings to out of high school so that really doesn't give an accurate assessment either. GMG

Great analysis @MeanGreenTexan. You hit on some very valid points I hadn't thought of. GMG

WiFi in Apogee is horrible. It’s a head scratcher as to why Apogee the company cannot help address that issue.

Same

Not much because he isn’t getting a lot of playing time so far this season.

I wasn't meaning you in particular, it's just been a lot of us - yes including me - have given English a lot of attention and I just think there are other guys who are just as deserving of our time. You are absolutely correct though, the best G5 teams have good defensive linemen and depth. We will get a taste of that this week as UH has some very good talent and size on their d-line.

Good article. So where does Greg White fit in all of this?

Yes please!!

Love the kid and hope he gets well but I have to say I’ve never seen more GMG bandwidth given to a player who has rarely ever even stepped on the field. How about giving some time to some young guys who are producing for us like MaKyle, Jyaire and Brammer etc

He's been given a bad situation and is trying to make lemonade out of it.

Dumb. Couldn’t even make it right in a humorous way.

Good find @ADLER

Will be live video on youtube channel and chat enabled. Let's talk about the big UTSA win and upcoming battle against Houston. Hope to see you there!

That is correct.

It’s sort of like what happened to the NFL. You used to know what players were on what teams. Now every year it’s basically musical chairs. This is the direction we are heading with all these transfers. Teams like OU don’t have to do their homework and recruit a top QB they just take one from someone else. It’s not right!

Now that Kansas has received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, other schools including Louisville are expected to be up next –- potentially before the college basketball season is set to begin Nov. 5. That, in turn, could cast another dark cloud over college basketball throughout the 2019-20 season. “It’s probably in the NCAA’s best interest to get out the notices before the Nov. 5 season start,” one legal source familiar with the college basketball trials and NCAA decision-making told me. A second legal source who has been involved in the college basketball bribery trials said he expected more schools to be hit with Notice of Allegations going into 2020. “I would expect a slow roll out by the NCAA,” said the second legal source. That source said more schools will likely be named “over the next few weeks” and “then some time in early 2020 you’ll see [other schools] hit with charges.” read more: https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamzagoria/2019/09/23/after-kansas-receives-ncaa-notice-of-allegations-louisville-other-schools-expected-to-be-next/#aa0466849418
