Tillman at 235 is surprising but I think it's a good thing

Alex Dunlap (OB): JUCO OL Willie Tyler Will Need to Redshirt, And That's a Good Thing

If he locks it at 999 we'll just have to start another 2019 thread and try again

If everybody that opens this thread in the next hour posts one thing, we can make significant progress and maybe even hit 1k. Then it'll be done. Like ripping off a bandaid. This is my contribution.

Even then they still lost 2 of their best recruits at positions of need in 2019

From now on I'll make sure to only use College Football Playoff National Championship when speaking about the national champion of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision.

Who exactly is our second great OT? Kerstetter/Okafor aren't championship level starters. They might be if they improve a lot this year, but I don't think it's a given that they're more than above average. Plus, it looks like Jones will start the spring as the starting RT. Positive development, but doesn't speak to Kerstetter/Okafor having the staff's faith. For the record, my early prediction for next year is 10-3. I'm not negative, just trying to be realistic about strengths and weakness. I think once spring practice reports come out then we can start to speculate about guys making leaps and stuff, although even that can go poorly (thanks Breckyn).

Roach and Wilbon are the only SR DL that have shown anything so far and I don't expect either to be more than good. I think there's a ton of variance in what could happen with our DL, certainly wouldn't say they have a high floor.

National Championship level: QB, S, WR I'm putting a lot of faith in Sam here but I think he'll be a top 5 CFB QB next year. S and WR should be among the best in the country. A position group being top 5 in the country qualifies it for natty level in my mind. Big 12 Championship Level: K/P 9 Win Level: OL, RB RB assumes Ingram's health and includes JWhitt in that group. We have 3 all-conference starters on the OL which almost puts them in the level above, but I'll wait to see who wins the other 2 spots before giving them the nod. Good but work to do: CB, TE These groups have potential but returns no starters from last year. Lots of work to do: LB, DL LB is a bit scary outside of B-backer. I edited and added DL here. We've had the Big 12 DL OTY the last two seasons. Without someone of Poona's or Charles's level, I don't have faith in the other guys to get it done. Our pass rush was really lacking last year. There's some talent but no one that we can really count on to be a plus player next year.

There was just a little bit of worry then I remembered it's illinois lmao

I wouldn't be so sure. He put the top three teams in there, he just failed to mention that they were his top 3. That's close enough and it keeps the flock docile.

If Starkel outperforms Mond (possible even if it's just the difference between systems) and Arkansas beats A&M, it's going to be hilarious watching their heads explode

I've heard he's the next Cam Newton

I'm afraid to ask but are there any updates on Lindberg?

Yep. And last week he started getting a bunch of OU CBs.

Pretty much. Of guys that have visited, Ringo is priority #1, Jones was/is 2, then Eaton/Watts/other guys are like a notch below that like 2.5 or 3.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest from the younger brother. He's probably staying in FL. They aren't really a package deal because they probably won't play together. Per OB.

all of us rn:

Collins told everyone at the camp, even aggy reporters, that Texas was his leader. Perroni just chose to omit that and include the part where Collins liked A&M. He's setting them up.

Don't do this to yourself man

Personally I would rather have Braun next year than in 2020

I noticed recently that when one of them asked about the split Perroni had shifted to 'I said it would be a good haul to split' rather than saying he thought they would split

My favorite part was that the question was asking Perroni which they would land out of Broughton and Collins (because aggies are just assuming they're going to split). He called Broughton an uphill battle but didn't even mention Collins

UGA had Michel go in the first and Chubb go in the second in the same year

I should add that I don't think Evans is scared off by Milton, but we have no idea about how Milton feels about the whole thing.
