Late qualifier? What's the scoop Brett?

Should he become dominate on the outside one day I decree Darrien McNare's nickname be:

 

Dare McNare.

6'3" 220 4.5 speed, that's playing time intangibles. And I have a feeling this kid can play or Miss, UK, Louisville, Florida, etc. wouldn't have been offering him. Big pick up and this definitely solidifies what was already a strong LB unit.

If he's got an coverage skills at all, love to see him slid into the spun down run force safety.... His tackling needs to improve, while he can knock the dog out of kids smaller than him and he definitely plays mean he will have to work on wrapping up and running his feet at college level. I wish more teams taught kids how to tackle like the Seahawks, very safe, very effective way to tackle. They stole it from the rugby teams across the globe. Very cool stuff.

I'd be interested in seeing someone like this in a Deone Bucannon / Shaq Thompson hybrid role.  With so many spread offenses, a hybrid player like this could be huge.

excellent news!  Thanks for getting this info for us Brett.  Looks like a good pick-up for the Mean Green!  Way to go Coach Patrick.  Welcome to the Mean Green.  Here's hoping the late rush won't throw this kid off his game or studies.

I hope he's everything we hope he is!  I keep getting excited about guys we get that almost ended up at big-time programs (or were already there and wanted more playing time)...and they end up being less than advertised.  So I'm gonna get excited all over again and hope all over again for this one.  So, on the off chance that you're reading this, Darrien, I really hope you're the CUSA Newcomer or Defensive Player of the Year!  Playing at a G5 program gives you a huge chance to shine if you take advantage of it!

      Come March, let's see who is dancing. Maybe some of these Gophers will come above ground and support us since they will probably be watching.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Watched the game on Youtube last night. Couple of thoughts/observations. 1. What is the purpose of the raised court? I think Vandy has one as well. Seems like it poses an injury threat to the players. 2. Man, we missed a lot of open shots. 3. Our defense completely took them out of their game. If we can play that D and find our offense, then this team will be tough to beat. 4. Big 10 refs suck. 5. I know many on here are critical of him, but Sissoko's growth has been fun to watch. 6. Thank goodness we have Walker. What a leader and calming presence for our team. Love his game.

      McNeese road trip?

      He got in trouble at LSU. Now I know McNeese doesn't have the resources like LSU, but I bet he gets "creative" with his recruiting pitch.

      UNOFFICIAL UNT VS. UTSA WATCH PARTY THREAD

      Pretty close, about like a typical sold out venue. There's been some space in the corners from people filling down for no-shows. I'm expecting this Boston College game to lighter since they are a .500 team. It's sold out officially but I'm going to be surprised, and very pumped, if everything on stub hub sells out again.

      Great look. Can’t decide how much I like the helmet. I definitely don’t dislike it, but I don’t think I love it. I’ll decide after seeing it tonight. Green and white = no complaints
