At this point, conflicted with whether or not I want to see Q this season or try to get medical waiver and have 2 full years.

Do you play the "wait and see" strategy with Brown, meaning trying to get through the last 7 games without him? You are losing Bellazin and McCoy this year and it would be nice to get 2 more years from Q.

OR do you play him as soon as he's ready to go?

That's right...I remember that talk now, I guess he just hasn't officially transferred, thus he's not on the roster.

As for Brown, I think you get your talent on the field now...if he's good enough, both in terms of talent and health, to play ahead of Mason, Polk, McCoy and Bellezin then put him out there...get the people who can help you win on the field. New recruits like wins.

Wallace has officially transferred and this is his year of mandatory sitting. He is the head-on favorite to replace Zach Orr at MLB next year.

As for Q Brown, I hope that he will wait until next year so that he will have two full years of play from him. He'd get very little playing time with Bellazin and Sarge in the lineup and Boutwell and Lincoln also playing DE in some formations.

He's already used a redshirt, so even getting the medical hardship waiver would not guarantee him a 6th year. And we just don't have a very good batting average with getting that 6th year. If he's going to be anywhere near 100% by the end of the season, we might as well try to get him on the field this year.

And guys, I'm pretty sure it's Anthony Wallace, not Aaron.

I'm pretty sure Brown is out for the year I read that on an injury report. I could be mistaken though I can't find where I read that now.

Mac said in his press conference today that Brown will be back this season, just not sure when. Said he could not redshirt & would just lose the season if he doesn't play.

I think this gets into the area currently being addressed in a separate thread. If he does not play this year, he will lose a year of eligibility since he has already used his redshirt. However, he will be in perfect position to apply for a medical waiver if he pursues it and the university is willing to honor an additional year of financial aid.

I'm betting that Akunne slides over, unless Wallace is just THAT GOOD... which he very well may be.

Has everyone forgotten Fred Scott? True freshman that has already played in a few games behind Zach. He should be in the mix.

Linebacker seems to be in pretty darn good shape moving forward...in spite of the fact that we'll be losing a great one in Orr. Akunne can play inside or outside...I've been impressed with Will Wright this season and especially in this last game...I think the third spot is up for grabs between Wallace, Scott and I don't know what his understanding of the position is yet, but Jamal Marshall physically looks like he could be one beast of an outside linebacker...6'3" 210...he may not still have the corner speed he had when he was recruited, but he's still fast enough to be a gunner on punt coverage.

Thinking back (to 2000), I don't recall a single year (even during the Dodge years) where linebackers were a weakness. We've been very lucky.

From what I hear, Marshall is still one of the fastest players on the team. He should be in the running for the OLB. he was going to run track for unt, but the football staff wanted him to bulk up.

Many football players run track and are fast in hs, but they lose a step and flexibilty with adding more weight, and lifting weights. Marshall has a good frame and maintained his speed.

I would not be surprised to see sed in the mix too. Another (state medalist) track guy that could add more muscle in the offseason, but still maintain that speed.

      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.
