Thanks Brett, looks like the kid is a player. This would be a nice get if we can steal him from an AQ school and a top 25 non-aq school.

I'm all for him signing here, but we really need JUCO help along the defensive line, linebacker and safety, first and foremost. TE would be way down my list of priorities at this time.

Agreed, but the recruiting coup has to start somewhere, and a quality TE goes a long way in helping a young offensive line in pass blocking and opening up holes for Lance.

Ready to see some defensive signees, but will take any recruit we can get from AQ and top 25 non-aq schools.

TE is a position of need in this recruiting class. I don't care what order the needs are addressed, as long as they are addressed.

This is absolutely the bottom line. Don't care how, who, when or where, as long as needs are addressed prior to Sept 3rd, or whatever the date of the season opener is.

Draylen Ross was a pretty good player for us this past season. Shame it took us 3 years of eligibility to get him at the right position but he was an asset when Chico reinstalled the running game this season. He will have some shoes to fill and this Power guy may do the trick. I think the biggest need is defensive end, dtackle and a juco QB for insurance against Riley getting reinjured in that order. We just need a lot of defensive prospects period.

Astute observation, agreed.

DEFENSIVE TACKLE is what we need, and now.

Because they didn't rack up a lot of TFL's, I think people have vastly underrated our two DT's from last year. They kept the olinemen/backs off our linebackers, and that is what let #42 run free and rack up enough stops to be make the HOF.

If, next year, those olinemen/backs are mauling zach orr and our other linebackers, their running backs are going to have to be tackled 8 yards down field by our DB's... and we are going to lose more than a few games.

Isn't that right Jack?

Another astute observation. whole heartedly agree about people underrating the importance of Dline... This is a huge whole that needs addressed.

Couldn't agree more. However, DTackle is probably the most difficult position to fill (on either side of the ball). Quality DT's are just very hard to come by.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
