  1. I'd rather have 2 portal edges than 2 WRs if we had to choose. I think one good portal WR is ok when combined with Worthy, JWhitt when healthy, Billingsley as a TE/WR hybrid, and possible step ups from Dixon and Washington (both of whom should be ok as depth guys imo). Then wild cards like Thompson, Alexis, and Omeire. So your main receiving options would basically be Worthy, JWhitt, Portal guy, and Billingsley, with the rest as backups. I can live with that for sure. Meanwhile at edge we have 2-sack Ovie, out of position Collins, and a bunch of guys who've basically never played (Sorrell being the most notable so far). We have to land Mathis but then you're still starting Ovie and with very little depth. Need 2 there.
  2. Wonder if they'll give Jahleel a week or two off. His season only ended like a week ago..
  3. Not that this is news for any school, but these three guys are all transfers. What a coincidence..
  4. Fair point but also..Bama's bar for him starting should be very different from ours right now. I would gladly take him if he can just be an average performer at that spot this year. Saban doesn't need to settle for average.
  5. Yeah pretty crazy. Not saying I have a clue but even if Moody was a future 3rd round pick he'd be on the bench. If it's true that he was the clear next man up for Bama at LB, then I really like this pickup.
  6. Seems like there are some similarities in the take. Bring in some special teams and culture at minimum. Moody seems like a higher chance of contributing regularly on defense though considering he was 2nd string at Bama and Davis was buried further down iirc.
  7. Moody sounds like a special teams ace, culture builder, and possible although not surefire contributor at LB. I'll take it.
  8. 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.
  9. 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...
  10. I don't have it but supposedly 247 is saying GP is officially on board
  11. 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.
  12. Burnt End JTS in there as well. Looks like all linemen and TEs
  13. 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
  14. Jahleel's twitter likes are...uhh...interesting. A bunch of posts shit-talking him
  15. 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?
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Pay stubs? Lol yeah right. Like they'd be running that shit through official payroll
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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
  22. 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).
