  1. Moody sounds like a special teams ace, culture builder, and possible although not surefire contributor at LB. I'll take it.
  2. I think we're ok on the interior. Edge is the weakest position on the roster imo (some talent but young and inexperienced). Mathis is an absolute must get. Maybe Sorrel and Ovie take a step forward. Or one of the other young guys shows up ready to go.
  3. Yeah it sure doesn't seem like he signed. OU coaches have been to his bball game two weeks in a row. Interestingly all the recent CBs for him on 247, On3, and Rivals came on 12/11 or 12/13. So I'm guessing he gave us a silent then. Seemed like there were a lot of hints that he might sign NSD 1 at that point but then he said he wasn't going to. So maybe OU convinced him to hold off on signing. My guess is that he's still a silent commit but hasn't signed. Possible counterpoint: has there been any news of our coaches visiting him since NSD 1? If he hasn't signed yet, you'd think they'd still be working hard on that one. Then again, overconfidence...
  4. I don't have it but supposedly 247 is saying GP is officially on board
  5. Agreed. Just because he's losing weight doesn't mean edge. Ojomo weighs 286 per his UT bio. We need some portal edges and then move Collins back to DT.
  6. Ole Miss has crushed it in the portal but wonder what they do if they miss on Dart. QB is wide open there. Maybe JT Daniels? On a related note I just remembered that Harrison Bailey guy is out there and turns out he committed to UNLV like 45 min ago
  7. Jahleel's twitter likes are...uhh...interesting. A bunch of posts shit-talking him
  8. Curious to see what GP's gameday role will be. Does he take Gideon's spot in the booth next to PK, does he stand on the sideline, or neither?
  9. Idk if schools would typically do an official formal announcement for a hire like GP, but they would typically let the press know and have it reported more openly. Maybe they're just waiting for a better PR time. Agree that they should be getting that news out. Have you met the NCAA? Pretty sure analyst duties are way down the list of issues for them to (not) deal with
  10. Laundry Guy is literally a laundry guy for the team (supposedly). He posted a bunch of facility interior pics before they were public so seems legit. I also haven't seen him try to break any other "inside news" like typical trolls would. Funny because of course the other posters are asking how many new staff members he'll need for GP's towels lol
  11. Pay stubs? Lol yeah right. Like they'd be running that shit through official payroll
  12. So the guy who started following a bunch of Arky people immediately after entering the portal ended up going to Arky? No tampering to see here! Not saying that’s unusual, but clearly he knew where he was going
  13. IT definitely has a tendency for overconfidence. Can't remember a time they've been overly pessimistic on anyone. I still like their intel but you definitely have to triangulate with other 9.95ers (ex: no one else said we had such a great shot with Sanders, while everyone else thinks we're getting Mathis). Which is funny because Banks was his biggest error the first time around. The current "sure things" for IT seems to be D Campbell and Billingsley (and I guess Mathis). If any of those doesn't happen, that'd be a new biggest miss.
  14. Worst case Moody is a good special teams player, depth LB, and likely good culture addition. Best case is all the above plus an improvement at starting LB, which is very possible. I don't see any other LBs knocking down the door so why tf not take him? As discussed ad nauseam, we seem to have enough spots to spare especially if we don't get Sanders. edit: I haven't watched him but sounds like he was first LB backup for Bama so he must be decent. Ben Davis was like 3rd string iirc
  15. Tea leaves certainly don't look good on Sanders imo. Sounds like IT was already hedging a few pages ago and they love the sunshine pumping. Oh well. Means we really need to close Mathis. Wonder if we can get him to sign soon even though he won't show up until June (narrator: doubtful).
  16. So is the working theory on Surly that he signed but OU doesn't know he did? A little hard to believe imo
  17. Hopefully Jahleel shuts it down today. Would be nice to get that one closed out. Not important but that HS recruitment was bizarre for Jaylen Moody. Pretty low 3-star but signed with Bama and had a Clemson offer too. Sounds like he's a special teams baller and was also second string LB.
  18. Redshirt seems kind of meaningless for someone like this. His mind is probably looking NFL asap.
  19. Neyor still visited Ole Miss this weekend btw. Seems like we're out but his recruitment may have some more twists and turns to it.
  20. Ole Miss makes the most sense career-wise. Wouldn't be shocked if BYU is in stealthy contention like Fud said. OU would make sense if not for Gabriel. And if he's ok with sitting a year, I'd think UCLA (his original #2) would be in contention. But you never know. I haven't watched Dart but I'm actually a little curious why he's so hyped. His numbers are solid for a freshman but honestly not that special (7.2 ypa, 9/5 TD/INT). For comparison Caleb is 9.1 ypa and 21/4. Ole Miss has been crushing it in the portal btw. I have a feeling they are bagging it up there (evidence: Zach Evans)
  21. Ewers, Watts, Billingsley, and Mathis (if that happens) would be a very good portal haul. These won't be the last options to come available either. That's not to diminish D Sanders. He'd be a huge get, likely behind only Ewers imo (maybe Mathis).
