  1. Jay Hartzell is transferring to SMU
  2. Hadn't seen it posted but...I did say SIAP which means I am immune from all criticism
  3. Siap but Noah Thomas visited UGA this weekend
  4. Shaw also has a tangible backstory for why he underperformed years 1 and 2 - he supposedly got close to 400 lbs and just this past year reigned it back in. There may be more physical progress Becton can help him tap into in addition to getting more reps and technique coaching.
  5. I mean, Branch has more production than AD Mitchell or Golden did, all as Sophomores...
  6. Why tf do we have to get the Cowboys and Texans meaningless games of backups on TV instead of Falcons or Bucs? so annoying
  7. NFL owners are often dumb but I have a hard time believing Sark could get a HC job now even if he's interested. Maybe interviews, but not likely hired. College coaches have not done well in the NFL and his NFL OC stint was not good. No idea how a GM/owner could justify that hire (although I would've said the same when Kliff was hired). Also he might not even be interested of course.
  8. It's been alluded to in other sports that CDC likes coaches who have had success at multiple programs including a P4 one or at least had sustained high level success. Guys like Schloss, Sark is debatable but had UW, USC, Bama on his resume, the new swim coach, etc. With that in mind, I would think Otzelberger from ISU would be realistic call #1. Nate Oats if he's interested. Bruce Pearl if he didn't have the baggage. Rick Barnes if he hadn't been fired here lol. That said, the up-and-comer route does have potential. A bit riskier though so doesn't seem to be CDC's MO.
  9. Um yeah where is this lack of NIL concept coming from? On paper, RT landed a great class this offseason that couldn't have been cheap - Mark, Pope, and Kaluma were all averaging like 15/game in the P4. Everyone wanted Tre Johnson. Larry and Kent were very solid for a tournament team. There's no way that group was cheap.
  10. Interesting color on him. Got way overweight and finally got fit this year. Gotta like the potential if he can continue take the coaching/fitness seriously
  11. Wears hotel robe = soft. Do not want. /s
  12. I mean, without knowing the cost it sounds to me like both Branch bros would be solid additions with our needs. Obviously depends on the $ but at least neither part of the package deal is a total waste here. He'd probably get better without that garbage USC defensive coaching too
  13. What's the scouting report on Zion Branch? We could actually use some more safety depth especially if Taaffe leaves but idk if Zion is good or not
  14. Yeah I'd take the UT money if it's a guaranteed 6 digits or UDFA/late round. The NFL will still be there next year.

    Bert!

    Warning: may be triggering
  16. I believe @RGBIII said Moore is highly likely returning as of a few weeks ago
  17. Marvin Jones is a head scratcher considering how quiet we've been in the portal. That's pretty much the last position of need imo outside of QB
  18. Gunner Stockton has one throwing speed and it's very entertaining to watch

    Bert!

    Saban was perennially plagued by poor kicking until Will Reichard cam along so I'm not sure I'd take his approach as wisdom on this particular subject
  20. Per ESPN, Bert is 124th in the country in FG% this year at 64%. There are a lot of good kickers with eligibility to go tamper with, many from small programs. The top 20 are all around 90% or better. Fwiw, last year's 83% would be around 40th in the country. Solid but still not irreplaceable.
  21. Seriously. Seems like a good kid but could use a lesson in phone usage. He's already had several cringy social media moments this year (middle fingers, commenting on his own highlights as if he were on a burner, now this)

    Bert!

    What's the deal with Will Stone? Seems like he was pretty highly regarded out of HS and must have more leg strength if he's doing kickoffs
  23. I would like to see Banks go outside the box: 1. Find a shitty MLS player to kick FGs, Brandon Aubrey style 2. Find a 7-footer who does nothing but intimidate and block FGs
  24. Can we get a portal kicker from Austin FC? Seems like that strategy worked out pretty well for Brandon Aubrey and the Cowboys
  25. Good TE coach, time to take away special teams. Beat by another fake punt, extended a drive with a running into the punter penalty. On field coach limits are gone next year right? Go hire a standalone ST Coordinator
