  1. You’re such a moron that you didn’t even mention their best player who would absolutely start for us. This is pretty off. Scourton had 10 sacks and 15 TFLs in the Big Ten as a true sophomore, and he showed out against the best teams he faced. the hype around him is merited, and he was considered a first round talent before he even transferred. He would definitely start for us and likely be one of the best players on our defense. The funniest thing about him is he was a 4 star at Bryan HS, but Jimbo and co. were too busy taking 5 star busts trying to have the highest rated class ever to even pay attention to him.
  2. That was my takeaway. Absolutely fucking hilarious. All the Ags tried to say he only left because he’s buddies with CDC, but you don’t pay your own multi-million dollar buyout because you want to work with a friend. He was miserable and had to get out of that weirdass cult.
  3. It really seems like the logical conclusion to writing this post would have been to hit Delete rather than Submit.
  4. Yeah, being overly reliant on Worthy seemed to be a huge flaw of Quinn’s. I really hope he doesn’t do that again this year, especially with someone like Bond when we have so many legit WRs and TEs. That would go extremely poorly.
  5. This might be the dumbest recap of a game I've ever seen on here, which is really quite the fete on the Football Board. Sark didn't choose to go away from the run. He was forced to because our RBs, you know the guys you say should have the ball more, fumbled twice in the second half. Sark was dead even on run and pass in the first half, and he even kept it equal after Baxter fumbled in the third quarter and we started to get behind. By the end of the third quarter, Sark ran it 21 times and passed 21 times, despite being behind almost the entire third quarter. It wasn't until Blue fumbled in the 4th quarter and we were down 13 with 12 minutes to go that Sark was forced to throw a ton. He ended up throwing 23 times and only running 7 in the 4th quarter because we were down double digits and running out of time. If our RBs don't fumble twice in the second half, Sark is never forced to pass almost exclusively and we stay balanced the whole game and probably win, but none of that was Sark choosing to go away from the run.
  6. Reading is hard. The concern over size was noting it’s our only spot where we don’t have great depth and it’s only a concern if we lose Shedrick and then have no one 6’8 or above. The teams you listed had guys with size/strength who could hold up inside. We don’t have that after Shedrick so he needs to stay healthy. If he does, we’ll be more than fine.
  7. So, about that... Their roster is still pretty loaded, they're preseason #5 with one of the best coaches in the entire country, and they currently have the #2 overall recruiting class, which includes 4 5-stars and 12 guys in the top 150 nationally. But I guess if you keep predicting it every year eventually you'll be right.
  8. Ehhhh. This isn’t really true as it relates to our roster. The addition of Kaluma makes that more possible, but if we don’t play a 5 then we won’t have a single person on the floor 6’8 or above. That’s not really a viable main strategy, but it can work to mix it up now and then. Point is, we really need Shedrick to play well and stay healthy, or we’ll be extremely vulnerable to certain teams.
  9. It's pretty obvious. They were the #1 team in FEI last year with the #1 offense and #11 defense. They only had 2 guys drafted in the top 100 and replaced their biggest loss, Nix, with Gabriel who isn't that much of a downgrade. So they didn't lose nearly as much talent as most of the other top teams last year, like UT, MIch, or UW, and they also brought in some big time transfers like Jamaree Caldwell and Jabbar Muhammad. On top of that, their schedule is pretty soft, only playing 2 top 25 teams all season.
  10. Or people are just tired of your constant, shitty posting. You responded to a poster saying UGA was "decent" academically. Now you've moved the goal posts to singing their praises. UGA is absolutely decent academically in the context of football recruiting. This conversation gets beaten to death on this board. Usually when a kid mentions academics they just mean which schools will make it the easiest for them to pass their classes.
  11. Outside of being thin at the 5, this roster has insane depth. Seems like Johnson and Mark will both be starters , which means only one of Pope, Weaver, Kent and Kaluma are likely to start. We are going to be at least 8 deep with power conference starting-level talent.
  12. Exactly. Any smart recruiter would hammer that story home to a family who cares about school and off the field things instead of focusing on something like all the felonies and car-related arrests they keep having. As if subjecting us to all your shitty takes on NIL for months on end wasn’t enough, now you’re trying to argue UGA doesn’t have good academics relative to football schools. I’m sure OB’s having a sale on annual subscriptions. Maybe you should go check it out.
  13. Starting to wonder if that baseball catcher is our version of Littlefinger. He joined the team two weeks ago and has already moved up two spots on the depth chart.
  14. Exactly. No chance it could be a defensive player, definitely not the guy who can’t beat out Gen Z Blake Gideon for a starting spot.
  15. I see you still have Gideon and Joseph as your DB coaches in the game.
  16. Ian Boyd: A Football Coach:
  17. That’s measuring both hands, right? /Hudson Card
  18. Why is that surprising? Baylor has a long and storied history of letting predators loose on campus.
  19. Why wouldn’t he be? He’s been here since the winter, had 16 sacks last year, and was being heavily recruited by Ohio State, Bama, and Texas in the portal. It would be noteworthy if he wasn’t starting.
  20. I’m very skeptical Liberty stopped RBR from cutting Checo. It seems a lot more likely Carlos Slim got word and told RBR they’ll have to refund the $30ish mil he paid them for Checo to have a seat this year, and RBR had to reconsider if Danny Ric or Lawson are a $30 mil upgrade for 12 races. Narrator: They are not.
  21. I don’t think this ever happened. Barron got hurt during Fall camp and wasn’t fully healthy at the start of the season. I’m pretty sure he was always the starter over Guilbeau when healthy though.
  22. Texas A&M Recruiting 2025: “Right now I wouldn’t totally write him off though.”
