Thoughts? I think we are bringing in yet another inexperienced assistant.

Nothing disappointing about a grad degree from Duke.

We seem to have found a good formula with bringing in experienced lower level players more so than bench players from P5.

Decommited in Nov and now verbals to TCU

Convinced this is bad AI.

We definitely haven’t seen someone transfer in and make an immediate high-level impact if they hadn’t already been a major contributor at their previous school. Timing has also been important, with winter enrollment being a huge advantage to learn the system during spring practice. Trice, Maclin, Guyton and several others were ok players in year one but didn’t excel until their second season. And almost no summer enrollee from the JUCO ranks has done much. Guys like Cleveland and Mazin played a ton and were able to contribute significantly in year one.

Played in two games in two seasons. He better not be getting big NIL money.

Not sure if we are recruiting him as a WR or DB.

Not one single person advocated for getting rid of almost every offensive starter - even me who was never convinced this offense was that special.

He is kind of a one-trick pony.

I am not sure I believe all these starters leaving is just ‘better offers’ out there.

Yes $500k as a college student is a total nightmare situation!

If ya know, ya know.

Yikes.

Have you seen their defensive stats? They held the top scoring offense in the country (LSU at 46 ppg) to 24. They held those last two opponents to 6 and 15. In fact, no one has scored more than 24 in their last 10 games and 29 was the most given up all year. For the season, 16 ppg average. That’s elite. I know we don’t understand this here anymore but there is more than one way to win that big offensive numbers. (Btw they averaged around 37 ppg on offense.)

Yet they somehow managed to win those games. Their last two games were an in-state rivalry (bad team but still) and #14 in a conference championship game.

I don’t really have any problem with him or anyone else offering paid NT content here. You are correct - the rules likely need a re-write to exclude journalistic content like this. As they stand, they are pretty clear that paid links and advertising your product are forbidden. Mods often point to to the rules when handing out discipline. But whatever. I only point it out to encourage consistency. 🤷🏻‍♂️Whateves.
