Burnt Ends
  1. That's a shame on Richardson. Good looking player on film, IMO.
  2. Thursday morning reset: RB - Raleek Brown is in. Retained James Simon. Rumors that Clark upped his ask and we are holding firm. Probably need a between-the-tackles guy to pair with Brown, ESPECIALLY if Clark bails. Not many names out publicly. WR - Waiting on Coleman. Supposedly we are not the highest $$ bidder. Most people fading Texas's chances at the moment. Also had contact with Tre Richardson from Vanderbilt. Georgia fans threw a tantrum when we got involved but nothing seems imminent. Smoke has started up regarding Kaliq Lockett and Daylan McCutcheon. TE - Got the Michigan State guy, lost Jordan Washington. No other smoke at this position, hopefully/probably done. OL - Jesus, who the fuck knows? Review the last 40 pages of this thread for more details. Michigan guys are out, Wisconsin guy is out. One $9.95er this morning implied that the guy from NC State might not be a "culture fit". There was a little talk in previous days that we're waiting on a guy still playing for Ole Miss, but...c'mon. I'm not aware of other names or visits right now. DL - Got Geffrard. Visits from Zion Williams from LSU and the Miami guy whose name I can't remember right now, who both seem like good options. DE - Missed out on Woods from Florida. Oklahoma State guy visiting today. LB - Missed out on the Wisconsin dude (did you hear he broke his arm in a game?) to tOSU. Cal guy is visiting. Some smoke that we are trying to retain Barnes. CB - Got Mascoe from Rutgers. Lost Kobe Black. Maybe done? S - Retained Derek Williams.
  3. I don't buy that at all - pure cope by Bobby, IMO. If we're talking a pro athlete getting $15m versus $12m, OK maybe you can make that argument. But $1m to $1.5m is a helluva difference. Many of these dudes are probably thrust into the role of primary breadwinner for their whole family at the age of like 20 years old. Any with a couple braincells will realize that their earning window is short and they're playing a very dangerous sport. If you take a guy that's 20 years old and tell him "we can get you what that other team was offering AND enough extra to pay off your grandma's house as well", that won't matter to him?
  4. I'm personally considering this guy right here the stalking horse for our OL class. An FCS stud with good pedigree, good technique, and good stats. The odds that he embarrasses himself at the next level are very low. He was not a risk to return to NDSU. I assume we could have outbid Michigan State without an issue. And we never gave him the time of day. If we do not end up with at least 2, preferably 3 transfer OL takes better than this guy, IMO we as fans have every right to be fucking pissed.
  5. This fire sale is crazy. Anyone that's not literally a lock to start next year appears to be a flight risk. At this point there are like a dozen guys on the entire roster that it would shock me if they transfer. It's not just us, either - pretty much all of the top programs have a shitload of dudes in the portal. The concept of building depth over time is absolutely dead. Where are all these promising-but-not-guaranteed-to-start guys going to end up? Seems like a few smart middle class teams with money to spend could put together a pretty damn dangerous roster. For one year only of course before it evaporates into thin air again.
  6. Sorry dude, baseball season decided to stick with its current program
  7. This thread is moving super fast but I sweatergawd that one of our $9.95ers reported on Richardson leaving his Georgia visit and said something like "I don't expect him to end up [at Georgia]" in a matter-of-fact way that I interpreted as meaning that Georgia didn't make him a formal offer or something. Did I dream that up?
  8. Shit, man, don't scare us like that. I read the first sentence of this "update" and thought it was going to be worth a fuck.
  9. RB named Turbo is pretty bad ass
  10. I read it as pay cut. To me it kind of feels like Muschamp watched some tape and decided that he wasn't a guy we have to have next year. Tip for whenever this happens: just scroll quickly looking for posts with orange borders. You won't miss anything important. Pretty fucked (as is everyone). QBs are the ultimate chaos. The money involved is like 2-3x any other position.
  11. The Barnes thing has to be someone tampering with him, right? Definitely seems like he was in our plans for next year. Will be really interesting to see where he ends up.
  12. I'm not saying this just to add negativity, but honestly it kinda seems like maybe we've given up on development at OL? We've run off most of the young guys on the roster (who were 100% Sark/Flood recruits). The most recent HS recruiting class was only 3 guys, one of whom was a last-minute local kid throw in. And they didn't seem to have much sense of urgency about that situation. I'm not as up to speed on 2027 recruiting, but my limited understanding is that we're not exactly rushing out of the gate with that class, either. I could foresee a world in which they're thinking you know what - we got fucked on Stroh, Cruz never developed like we hoped, portal OL other than LTs are relatively inexpensive, let's just do that from now on. It squares with reporting that we want experienced guys from big programs, and talk that Flood doesn't care for HS recruiting. Of course, the giant gaping hole in my theory is that this plan requires us to actually, you know, pursue some portal OL beyond just throwing a Hail Mary at two guys from Michigan and calling it a day when they pass.
  13. I dunno. They re-signed Lacy and Chambliss is going to try to come back. I could see their boosters feeling scorned right now and being willing to really throw down.
