  1. ONE guard (Conner), four-star prospect, drafted in the sixth round as a senior. Equivocate all you like. The reality is that's all the IOL draft production Flood has to his name. And yes, we are talking about scouting and actually identifying players because Flood is not in the position to inherit guys anymore like he did with Conner and Jones. He needs to find guys in HS and in the portal. He has failed at the former, and is currently floundering at the latter. Getting a couple of four-stars drafted at the fag end of the draft two years ago doesn't change this reality. And I mentioned Campbell in my post. A consensus five-star prospect going in the late rounds of the draft as a senior is not a feather in Flood's cap, no matter how desperately you pretend otherwise. Holy fuck dude. Yes, we got no transfer OL last year and Flood failed to develop the guys on the roster. Our OL sucked as a result. No one is 'bitching' that we're looking for transfers now. We're pointing out that Flood's numerous failures are why we're in the position of having to scramble for them now. This is not a complicated concept. And LOL at the "keeping the talented ones". You have nothing whatsoever to support this notion. Flood kept 'talented' guys like Stroh, Neto and Kibble around last year and you saw the pathetic results of that. Trust the corches, back-to-back semifinals, barely missed the CFP, etc. etc. Thank you for the same copy-and-paste spiel.
  2. Fine, let's review the OL that Flood/Sark have had drafted. 2024 - Christian Jones, OT, drafted in the fifth round. COVID super-senior Flood inherited from Herman. 2025 - Kelvin Banks, OT, drafted in round #1. Five-star, recruited by Flood and lived up to the billing (and then some). 2025 - Cam Williams, OT, drafted in round #6. Three-star, recruited by Flood, very up-and-down season in 2024 and probably bolted earlier than he should have. 2025 - Hayden Connor, OG, drafted in round #6. Another senior Flood inherited from Herman. Flood has yet to actually develop one of his IOL recruits into an NFL drafted-player and that's a massive fucking problem. DJ Campbell is going to be his first this year, and despite being a consensus five-star blue-chip prospect, he's going to fall to the end of the draft. Flood's record of scouting and developing IOL has been massively disappointing and there's no way around it. He's run off our entire IOL haul from the 2024 class (Cruz and Kibble). He refused to play Neto, a four-star from the 2022 class, and turned the LG spot into an absolute clusterfuck by throwing in a mismash of Stroh (massive bust from the 2023 class) and Brooks (true freshman) before finally having to rely on Hutson and Robertson. Now they're all gone except for Brooks, and we have to desperately hope a very mediocre Robertson returns. Yes, I want to 'run off' Flood. Any sane fan would. He's mismanaged the IOL to a horrific degree this year, and set the entire position group up for failure long-term.
  3. All this tells me is that Flood won't (or can't) scout very well. Oregon picked up Isaiah World and Alex Harkey via the portal from Nevada and Texas State last offseason. World and Harkey are now their current starters at LT and RT, and the Ducks are in the CFP semifinals.
  4. This is a deeply flawed argument. He's just blindly assuming that every position group that brings back its starter is guaranteed to improve, by a lot. By that logic we should have just paid up to keep Wisner, Moore, Livingstone, Stroh, etc. so they could have shiny little green arrows next to their positions as well. Because anyone who stays is guaranteed to improve, right? We also have zero actual evidence that Townsend is going to be an improvement over Endries. If the coaches were so sure our current guys will all improve they wouldn't be tearing down the WR and OL rooms the way they are now, to the point of moving Baker over to RG.
  5. Joe Cook: Texas Longhorns transfer portal notes as day six begins
  6. That's LSU's starting LT, LSU' starting LG, and South Carolina's starting RG they've picked up in the past few days. A&M will have to corch 'em up because they were all pretty bad last year.
  7. Joe Cook: Is Sean Miller getting his message across?
  8. A&M lost a ton from last year's team, hired some nobody from fucking Samford, and is already off to the races with back-to-back wins over LSU and Auburn. Meanwhile we're floundering under Miller and still searching for our first conference win. It's a fucking embarrassment.
  9. NIL contracts aren't employment contracts, there's nothing Wash can really do to stop him from going to LSU. All they can really do is squeeze as much $$$ in damages out of LSU/Williams as possible.
  10. was this triggered by the Wash QB entering the portal? Because this isn't the first time something like this had happened. Wisky sued to stop one of their guys from breaching contract and going to Miami last year, and Georgia’s lawsuit against one of their DEs who breached their contract to go to Mizzou is still ongoing. Once those suits get resolved they'll set the precedent for handling cases like this in the future (no, Congress is not going to do Jack about shit).
  11. Bob Bostad, Indiana's current O-line coach, used to be the O-line coach at Wisconsin and was the one who originally recruited Brunner there. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
  12. If you want to clear any doubts, you can ask Harris yourself. He evidently posts here as @David Dennison
  13. Ralph D. Russo: Inside the CFP’s rest vs. rust problem, and the challenges facing anyone trying to fix it
  14. Part of that was finally getting some home games after spending all of October on the road. Notice that as soon as we went back on the road to Athens our offense was M.I.A. again.
  15. Eric Nahlin: Talking Texas RB Transfer Options With College Source
  16. maybe the 5'6" waterbug from ASU turns out like a certain 5'6" waterbug from KSU
  17. They can't enforce the penalty on the next possession? LAME
