  1. In watching Cain's sophomore film, one thing that is apparent is that he ran behind a pretty damn good line at Guyer.
  2. I agree, but I will admit 22 yards on 4th and 18 against KU was absolutely unexpected, even after the ridiculous comeback against OSU.
  3. And he proved it by having the greatest season by a college QB ever. Seems like he was a can't miss prospect. I could find many lower ranked dual threat QB's who improved a bit as a passer in college and were able to use their wheels to exploit weaknesses in defenses to be a good to great college QB, value that can't be demonstrated in most camp and 7 on 7 settings.
  4. One thing I've never understood with respect to recruiting rankings, is are they ranking those players on their perceived ability to succeed in college, or are they ranking those players on their perceived pro ability? Seems that many dual threat quarterbacks are always ranked fairly low in the 247 rankings with the exception of someone like Deshaun Watson and even then I think he was outside the top 50 that year. If they're judging based on perceived pro ability, I think they have ground to stand on wrt dual threats being pushed down the top 247.
  5. Noah Cain dropped 142 spots, and Trey Sanders dropped 9. This maybe a case of ball with no pads making the tiny APB's look better?
  6. Machinator beat me to it.
  7. Ya, in looking at the rankings, a lot of our guys had a small jump. Liebrock and Chris Adimora had the most notable jumps. Our overall score went up a tad I believe. Baylor Cupp had a huge rise. WGAF.
  8. Sounds like they were disclosed on the other site, but not here.
  9. Ha. Ya. Definitely Jimbo. Definitely not Kirby Smart.
  10. Either he ordered the attack or she is that conniving to make it look like he did it. The level of detail of items requested by the assailant clearly show that there was purpose and knowledge of the situation. Can't really stand LeSean McCoy, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt even if he doesn't deserve it. He most likely ordered it so she would finally get out of his life. Given that she has lived in his place for a year after he has wanted her to move out, and considering she just came back from London and clearly loves the posh life, if there was someone who'd willing to take a few on the chin for a few million dollar pay day, I feel like she would and happily. Will be interesting to see what plays out.
  11. Dare I say, Dylan Wright and Javonne Shepherd are the 2 most important head to head recruiting battles with Aggy for the rest of the recruiting cycle.
  12. What in the fuck? Just noticed that.
  13. Our logo is closest to him in the picture #calculator
  14. A guy I grew up with who was always a fake douchebag, even when he had no friends, loved him some Lasean McCoy, so this hits close to home.
  15. This. Running Backs should never be redshirted, due to their average NFL career being shorter than other positions. We should have running backs that leave after junior years without a redshirt. With that being said, we get to see what Angilau looks like without burning a shirt (and maybe we need to). We get to see what our loaded DB class looks like. Now we just need to blow out some teams so there’s garbage time.
  16. Agree with everything but redshirting Ingram. We should be running the ball more frequently now that we have guys in the backfield that can find a hole in the line we do have or make people miss. If Carter can't get his shit together with respect to keeping the ball clean, that's Ingram's role to lose, and I see at least 3 different roles in our backfield. More importantly, our return to the promised land is heavily impacted by landing commitments over the next 2 classes from the likes of Noah Cain, Trey Sanders, Zachary Evans. We need to prove to them that we're not stingy with who gets the rock, that yardage can be earned behind our running schemes and against the Big XII, with an oline that is not even elite yet, and that freshman get to eat too. I want to win the playoffs when we get there, not just get there and we do that with elite talent.
  17. Or maybe he gives it to the oline who consistently open some running lanes and take more pressure off of a a young QB.
  18. And that's fair. I want to think the same thing, however our 2 best returning running backs averaged 5.0 YPC with our shitty oline last year. I'm thinking that at the very least our depth on the oline is better, and given injuries are a near certainty, we should be rolling someone out there better than Tristan Nickelson for half the season.
  19. Curious to see what everyone's thoughts are on the running backs this year. This is the deepest the room has been in as long as I can remember in terms of guys with upper end talent. Daniel Young - 6'0 210 Similar body type to Kyle Porter, but does everything we'd want a guy like Kyle Porter to do, much better, except pass protect and that's still TBD. He's a guy who will be able to be consistently leaned on in a running back rotation, regardless of talent that makes it's way to campus in the future. Vision can't be taught. 5.1 YPC on 23 attempts last year. Toneil Carter - 6'0 205 The one guy on the team with proven big play ability from the back field who is able to play 2 games without getting injured. Sky is the limit for Toneil. He's more inconsistent than Young in what we saw, but to me has shown flashes of a higher ceiling. Quickness and vision is dangerous, and has the highest top end speed of someone who carried the ball last year out of the RB position. 4.9 YPC on 37 attempts last year. Keaontay Ingram - 6'1 190 He's a freshman. We don't know what to expect. His HS tape shows a quick, elusive, purposed runner, who runs a bit high, but given a set of cutback or counter plays and inside zone to keep the defense honest, could be really dangerous in this offense. In an attempt to compare what someone of his ability and recruiting ranking (247 composite #6, .9324 rating) has shown is capable of in the past 3 years or so as a freshman, we can consider our very own Toneil Carter, Devwah Whaley, Trey Sermon, and Saquon Barkley as players who saw some significant playing time as a freshman. While Saquon is an outlier and Trey Sermon benefitted from having Baker Mayfield under center, it would be a welcome addition to get 5 YPC out of another set of legs in the backfield, especially one with pigskin security and big play ability. Tre Watson - 247 says 5'11 205, looks shorter Has the most experience out of the group, minus Kyle Porter, whom I will leave out of this discussion, in large part due to the addition of Tre Watson. I see Watson as a replacement for Kyle Porter in all passing situations where we'd want an experienced RB to help with blitz pickups to go along with someone quick out of the backfield. Hasn't had a single season where he's had 200 carries, but will not be asked to be the primary ball carrier unless he shows out. He has a career rushing average of 5.1 YPC, but given his 2 best and most heavily used seasons out of the backfield were alongside Jared Goff and a 5th year senior Davis Webb, he had a massive benefit and likely took advantage of soft defenses. This can't be understated. Will we want to use him in some different ways than the previous 3: draws and counters out of the shotgun on passing downs, screens and passes to the flat. He's our "keep em honest" RB. We have a back field with 4 different guys that have different skillsets that Stan Drayton, Herb Hand and Tom Herman need to be able to make good use of to take heat off of Sam and/or Shane and/or Cam (I kid I kid). The talent level is the highest and deepest it's been in a while. We need to take a massive leap forward in the running game, it's the difference between 7-5 and 10-2. And if Kyle Porter sees the field, it should only be in mop up duty after Keaontay needs a rest.
  20. Damn man, hot take. Really, you sign them all? You take the best talent available? Is that what you do in that situation? No shit man.
  21. Gotta love Floyd for trying. If the absolute most ridiculous happens, and Tufono and Rian Davis commit, do you change your defense to get the 2 or 3 of them (and Dele) on the field in the future? That would be 3 elite, bluechip Mikes in back to back classes.
  22. Is this the kind of stupidity that I’ve been missing in CR? Glad I don’t go in there. ”Bus doesn’t say you can’t kill people so I guess I can kill someone on the bus.” Can you tell your ass from a hole in the ground? Does someone need to tell you that you should be breathing right now to continue living?
