  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?"
  5. 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?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. If we don't get Turntine, someone needs to do a wellness check on Gerry Hamilton.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Put him in the calculator after this strong impression.
  14. 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.
  15. I think that if Novosad outplays Moore in spring, they're more likely to hit the transfer portal.
  16. 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.
  17. I know one of the assistant coaches at Alamo Heights, he said Terry is a good kid, was well liked in the program and is the best player he’s coached by a wide margin. That being said, even after being around the kid for years, he wasn’t confident about his best position in college, but landed on receiver/maybe a sort of halfback role. Thinks he’ll really benefit from college S&C. All that to say, he essentially parroted what’s been said on this board the past year.
  18. When i saw the blurb hyping up Parker Livingstone I wept for Arch.
  19. Very curious to see if we portal in a starting-caliber RB with Blue moving on. Choice, to his credit, seems to really like and have loyalty to his guys, but if you swapped RBs in the Cotton Bowl we’d be playing for the title right now.
  20. Between Goosby, Hutson, Robertson, Neto and the young guys like Baker, Cruz, Kibble, we should have enough that it’s a solid unit next year. Getting Baxter back in pass protection and Arch’s size/mobility helps too.
  21. Aggies are a decent team but my god what an awful play style to watch.
  22. This team would be dangerous if we had a halfway decent 5. Shedrick is an awful player.
  23. Our defensive line is better than Tennessee's or Oregon's and our linebackers are quite a bit better. I think we can create some of the same problems that Michigan presented them. Their offensive line is gettable, although Chip Kelly's run blocking schemes might be his greatest strength. We will need turnovers, but more importantly, we need our offense to hold possession of the ball. We need to be close in plays and time of possession. I'm all for explosive plays, but the name of the game is limiting three and outs. Obviously that's all high-level stuff, but i think there's a roadmap and we absolutely have the personnel to beat them.
  24. FYI, there’s a great thread on the Football board where our best and brightest are trying to get to the bottom of whether Quinn is good or bad. They’re getting really close, just need a few more pages of discussion.
