Pretty shocked Stouffer has fallen to the Southland Conference's own Central Arkansas, although untbowler can now provide career updates for us. Hopefully something big is brewing. OL is not a pressing need, but I would love to see us land around three a class to keep our depth.

3 a class, on both sides of the ball... That has to be our mantra. Very interested to see how this all oans out in the next 6 days or so...

The only downside I noticed about Stouffer is that the listed 40 time, 5.5 I think, per Rivals, may just not be what the new coaching staff finds acceptable. And that's not to say he won't find the right place for him; Central Arkansas has had some D linemen go to the NFL in recent years. One thing about any college level offensive line is that it's not unusual to find some pretty big guys on any of them, even down to the D3 level; the difference from D1 down to the lower levels is typically speed more than size. As this staff has shown with getting the DT Terell Brooks to commit earlier this week, there are still good D1 level players out there, even with the hard to fill positions like DT. This staff appears to have a plan, which requires a certain athleticism, and is executing it.

From the outside looking in, it definately seems like there's a plan in place and everyone's working towards said plan. This isn't just some random collection of best we could find on short notice. This is filling holes, changing minds and perceptions and building our program, recruit by recruit, need by need, with the types of players we want. Absolutely agree. If JJ can get Mitchell, then anything's possible right?

      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?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
