6-4 4.5 forty wow sounds like a great pickup!

He's got all the tools, he just has not produced much up to this point. Only had 368 yards last year as a junior, but I think he's going to have a big senior year. If he had more production he would have a lot more offers.

I've really liked this offer since it came out, looking into this kid. Of our outside receiver offers who we realistically had a shot at, he was right up at the top for me, in my inexpert opinion. Very happy about the potential of this pickup.

Love that he's a basketball player. Those kids know how to use their body to not only shield defenders but also to go up and grab the ball like a rebound.

Yup. And to add to your and Emmitt's points, those are the type of guys you take your chances with in man coverage on the outside. As much under-center offense as we run, and play-action as we run, these tall outside receivers are what we need.

You don't have as much time to get open as a receiver when your team is throwing from under center vs. shotgun. Thus, you need guys who don't need as much to get open. I.E. guys who are taller than the defender they are matched up against and guys who can "outrebound" their opponent and make a tough, physical catch in tight coverage.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.

      Have almost given up trying to figure out time lines with college athletes. Tell me how in the world athletes can transfer three or four times and still be on any path to have the proper amount of hours at a school to graduate. It has become a total joke.
