  1. Really hope the Barron stuff is wrong. Losing our best CB would be a major kick to the nads. If we're willing to approach $600k for Mathis, $200k for Barron should be a no-brainer
  2. Others have alluded to plenty of our guys being recruited elsewhere, so I don’t think this is right. Plenty of young guys that other teams would like to have even if they haven’t produced a ton for us yet.
  3. Kind of bizarre how well we did in the portal on offense and how shitty we did on defense. Watts sounds like a starter so that was a good one but idk how you fail to add anyone else after last years shit show.
  4. This Addison situation could get real interesting. What if he enters the portal but the public tampering backlash/accusations make USC a no-go? Does he go back to a Pitt program that just cost him $2 mil? Or does he look elsewhere? We certainly don’t need another portal WR but if Marion can land him, no brainer. <5% chance but we can always dream. Edit: watch him end up at Bama
  5. So when does Bama do their spring cleaning? Bama backups are obviously our specialty
  6. Did anyone see Mel’s “team needs” for the Texans? It was basically every position lol Also, drafting for fans continues? LSU, A&M, Baylor first 3.
  7. As disappointing as losing Mathis would/will be, I gotta say - $600k seems like a lot for a 1-2 year rental who has had one good year and one average one. That number surprises me but maybe that’s market now days, idk
  8. Seems like quite the snarky comment for a 55% confidence pick
  9. Coburn is publicly recruiting Mathis (15 min ago) on Twitter so I think we can scratch him off the portal list
  10. LSU and A&M with the top two pics. Picking for ticket sales?
  11. I know there’s still a few more days but anyone else surprised there hasn’t been more portal action this week? I expected a lot more entrants, both from other programs and ours
  12. To be fair, NIL does make things a lot harder to predict. Sounds like Mathis will just come down to final bids. But yeah, if IT is hedging, it’s definitely not as certain as we’ve thought.
  13. Idk what to think about KD the person anymore. He used to be such a cool humble guy and most of his interviews still come off that way. But then you see his social media shit (check todays) and it’s like wtf? Attacking Barkley and calling himself a “god”..
  14. No way we go after another WR in Cody Jackson right? Might have been a better option than Hall for off field reasons but I don’t think we need 3 portal WRs. Pending departures, imo we gotta load up on defense with the last few spots - Mathis, an LB, and tbh I’d go for another edge. Maybe an OT on offense but doesn’t seem like thats happening.
  15. Being held back in 3rd grade or whenever doesn't make him a more accurate passer or better at reading defenses. What matters is his "high-level" football experience. Ewers was in high school for three years, starting games for 1.5 them, and has zero years of meaningful college football snaps. That's less experience than most incoming QBs like Klubnik and Weigman. Shit, he might have developed more as a HS senior playing games and getting practice reps than as tOSU's 4th string QB getting whatever scraps were leftover after the top 3. So get into semantics all you want but if you don't think there are going to be growing pains, idk what to tell you.
  16. Lol at everyone freaking out about a zero-sum spring “game” that was 1s vs 2s all game. My biggest takeaway is that our 2s suck compared to the 1s. They got dominated on both sides. Shocker. The OL was pretty weak on both sides. Another shocker. 2nd string WRs like dropping passes. Card made some good throws over the middle. Ewers had some nice throws and some bad ones. Kinda like a guy with tons of talent but who should be a high school senior (another shocker).
  17. As Ewers misses a wide open first down.. Look, I hope Ewers is an improvement, just haven’t seen it in this one scrimmage
  18. Unpopular opinion and meaningless vanilla scrimmage, but I think Card has looked better in this outside of the one Ewers bomb. Granted, we’ve missed 75% of the plays
  19. I mean this is comical. They literally just showed one play before going back to commercial
