  1. It was kind of amusing when this guy was melting down over CTJ but when you quote Spider2YBanana/Funk Doctor Spock into my feed you get the neg
  2. Great point. As we all know, recruitments are all completely decided in April and not subject to change.
  3. Pretty excited about the blocking across the offense. Personnel on the OL to take a step forward in the run game, I think Endries could be an improvement on Helm there and Mosley/Wingo/Moore should be pretty stout. Goes without saying that Parker Livingstone is gonna be tossing fools around.
  4. 1. Chip Kelly literally stopped recruiting years before he left. 2. UCLA does not have competitive NIL funds, lost its starting QB to graduation and backup to Maryland, was going into this season looking to start an inaccurate former App State QB. 3. DeShaun Foster looks to be on a fast track to a short tenure, if the UCLA admin cares enough to fire him in a few years, and he needs talent. The roster is very very poor.
  5. Not Texas, but interesting transfer news. Iamaleava to UCLA.
  6. I think it would have to come from a lack of competitive offers elsewhere. He'd be a massive upgrade over Aguilar. Would be a bizarre move coming from the other school that was recently burned by the Imaleavea family, but it would be a massive talent upgrade for UCLA (and I don't even think Nico is particularly good).
  7. I think they're going to be significantly worse than last year? If I'm being extremely generous, the offense might be slightly improved with QB (who is bad), RB (tbd if Moss is the same) and OL coming back and second year with the OC. On defense, they took heavy losses on a pretty good DL and the only guy who jumps out as an above average SEC starter is Will Lee. Nonetheless, the schedule is an absolute cakewalk and the Elk should probably receive capital punishment if he doesn't hit 8-4.
  8. A bit off topic, but does anyone know the story on Keisean Henderson (not as it relates to us as we have our QB)? I haven’t heard much about his recruitment for a QB that’s currently the consensus #1 prospect in Texas. Seemed like he was all UH from early on, hard to imagine that sticks unless there’s some sort of family connection.
  9. UCLA 247 mod says that his ask is about 4x what they're able to come up with. Bodes well for us, as we might be the happy medium with UCLA being poor and Texas Tech being exclusively for illiterates with severe learning disabilities.
  10. Right and I think he's good enough that he'd very much improve a position group that's already stellar. Kind of reminds me of going after Silas Bolden when we already had Bond/Golden/Cook/Moore/Wingo.
  11. This guy is a stud and would be very happy to have him, but not a position of need at all? Wonder if there's some concern that Vasek will just never be healthy.
  12. We need to run Arch more is going to be the next great football board argument, has all the potential to replace "is Quinn Ewers a good quarterback?"
  13. I love how 3/5 guys mentioned get the caveat that they don’t have NFL athleticism/measurables, but Tarp concludes that these are the guys that could be NFL ready next season. What ever happened to DJ Hicks, wouldn’t he be the natural guy to mention here since he’ll be draft eligible? Do they have a single defensive player who’s definitively better than say, Liona Lefau?
  14. The effort is not great at this point, but I've seen worse. It's just so blatant that this team is poorly coached on both sides of the ball.
  15. Sorry, I thought it was obvious i was referring to the big defensive lineman from IMG who was actually good last year. Point is, there isn't a ton of young talent flashing on your roster.
  16. They actually have a ton of experience on the team this year, I think we could be looking at a solid year in 2025 followed by a cratering in 2026. They haven't exactly had a bunch of guys flashing in the 24/25 classes, aside from the big DL from IMG and I guess the younger Bowen.
  17. Not Gary, Indiana related, but it's really odd to me that the perceptions of Turntine and Ojo appear to be on opposite trajectories. I guess Ojo is a more toolsy player, but Turntine continued to perform very well on the field this year. Feels like the industry is really overthinking it on Turntine, that guy is as close to a sure thing as they come IMO.
  18. If we don't get Turntine, someone needs to do a wellness check on Gerry Hamilton.
  19. Basically any combination of the OL being recruited would be spectacular. If we get Turntine + literally any 2 of the other tackle prospects, that is a tremendous haul.
  20. Does Fanduel have odds on Chace Sims for Heisman? Seems like it might be wise to get in on the ground floor given what I'm hearing from my scouts on TexAgs. Seriously though, why is it an accepted fact over there that he's going to be an immediate contributor, no one is even pushing back on that narrative.
  21. Put him in the calculator after this strong impression.
  22. If you weren't expecting this, you clearly have not been paying attention. I'm on my way to Lake Charles today to cash my BO&W murdered by his wife for telling her to take the trash out in the snow ticket.
  23. I think that if Novosad outplays Moore in spring, they're more likely to hit the transfer portal.
  24. Maybe he's developed tremendously in the past year, but I think starting Dante Moore could be a disaster for Oregon next year. He has very limited mobility compared to Nix/Gabriel and looked terrible, even by freshman QB standards, at UCLA. He has a subpar arm but nice touch in the short game, which at least is a good fit in the Oregon offense. It will be fun to monitor the post-spring QB market from the sidelines, as I think you'll see some desperation from at least two of the schools you mention.
