  1. I don't think it matters; their goal is to take five this class. They especially need immediate impact receivers this class too, considering their misses in '19 and '20.
  2. Read through his thread in the second tweet because there are some real gems in there. It’s a bit convoluted because I think a few suspended accounts were involved, but it’s still great.
  3. He’s become probably the mostly cynical poster I’ve seen outside the CR. I think I saw him post last week that he thinks you aren’t actually a doctor or something along those lines.
  4. It's funny how Edmond has been in the S&C program under each Stoops brother over the past two decades. Also, it's no coincidence how Kentucky started to really rise once Michigan State really began to fall. UK simply started beating out MSU throughout Northeast Ohio (and the rest of Ohio/even Michigan to an extent) in recruiting at various positions, and it shows. I would've been really high on Sparty for the future if Tucker had been able to get Marrow from UK. It's good for Kentucky that they're now at a point to where they're paying a TE coach $900K a year.
  5. It might be good for him athletically, too. Cal seems to be on the rise, but they really need more talent on the offensive side.
  6. I think Vince Marrow closes on Burton. Hand could learn a lot from how Kentucky recruits the o-line. Obviously they look for a different type of lineman given the offense they run, but they close just often enough to where their line might be the second best in the SEC this year.
  7. I remember him. It seemed like he had some promise early on but just didn’t continue to develop. It’s a shame that he went from that to being involved in taking someone’s life.
  8. They’re especially impressive at identifying under the radar receivers. They found Rashod Bateman in Georgia before pretty much anyone, and they even held off a late push by UGA.
  9. 247 seems to be falling in love with the Wickline specials in Baylor's class this year. Both Tate Williams and Connor Heffernan keep rising in the rankings. https://247sports.com/player/connor-heffernan-46101025/ https://247sports.com/Player/Tate-Williams-46101634/
  10. I think Coleman needs to take a look at Eric McAlister out of Azle. Wisconsin, VT, and Nebraska are his three biggest offers. I don't think he's as good as Ketron Jackson, but he's built similarly. He seems decently fast, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had an uninspiring shuttle time. https://247sports.com/Player/Eric-McAlister-46059123/
  11. I have yet to hear from a black student, fan, or alumni of UT who does not side with the athletes or, at the very least, understand their viewpoint. When you hear from 100+ in the black UT community troubled by this, then I think it’s safe to say “entire community” on a message board. Sure, there could be some (significant) percentage of those in the black UT community who are either ambivalent or don’t want the song changed, but I’ve yet to speak with any of them or even hear from one. I’d like to hear from them too because everyone’s voices should be heard. I thought it was plainly obvious that “entire” was a colloquialism for mass majority or even majority in this case, but I guess some misunderstood.
  12. I never said anyone was being specifically intolerant. In addition, I never specifically called any poster out. Also, I welcome discussion of the ideas the athletes have presented. The key word in my post, angry, was because I’m disappointed that so many people on one side of this issue are feverishly angry. You have every right to think an idea is ridiculous, but you clearly haven’t actually listened to their proposal. You must acknowledge that they likely have a different worldview than you. Naturally, you and many others in this thread have disagreed with them. I’m not quite sure how calling players stupid/ridiculous for this isn’t condescending though.
  13. It’s very telling how angry some people get when a viewpoint they’re uncomfortable with is shared. These athletes and the entire black community at UT just want to tell you about their struggles, and they wanted to be treated as true equals in every aspect of life. The condescension and arrogance toward them by some in this fan base is incredibly disappointing.
  14. I’m sure y’all have gone over it ad nauseam, but the mask wearing goes down to almost zero in rural/suburban areas. I don’t know the whole picture with Texas as I don’t live there anymore, but my parents in Cypress say like 10% of people wear them in stores. Apparently my brother went to an indoor wedding in aggyland tonight with 2/100 wearing them (both old). Most people there were from East Texas and the Panhandle. I get not wanting to wear a mask at a wedding, but you’d think if it’s refundable to postpone (supposedly it was), then that’d be the best option.
  15. I think LSU could be in the lead. Also, I’d never count out Michigan if Sherrone Moore is recruiting the prospect.
  16. Oregon looks like they're going to land another great class even with Donte Williams at USC upping their recruiting. Wiltfong put in Oregon crystal balls today for Jaylin Davies, Keanu Williams, and Xavier Worthy. There's some chatter that they're now back in it for Korey Foreman and JT Tuimoloau. People call Cristobal a bag man and meathead, but it seems like that combination works since they're definitely now the most talented team on the West Coast. Their defense is absolutely loaded this year. Deommodore Lenoir, Thomas Graham, Mykael Wright, Jevon Holland, Justin Flowe, Noah Sewell, and Kayvon Thibodeaux are all future draft picks. They have a ton of other quality players like Mase Funa, Austin Faoliu, and Jordon Scott. Their offense actually doesn't seem to be that talented this year with the glaring exception of the best OT in college football, Penei Sewell. Their receivers and backs seem to be mostly good, but I can't see any of the upperclassmen in those groups being high draft picks. I think CJ Verdell could be, but he's always injured so it's hard to tell. I'm not sold on Tyler Shough at QB, but he could live up to his ranking. Joe Moorhead will certainly try his best to do that. Their o line as a unit seems like it could be just average this year despite Sewell just because they lost four starters. The guys projected to replace them are all upperclassmen though so that should prevent the line from being bad. The one position they've kind of struggled to recruit is RB. They have a few four stars now on the depth chart, but they've yet to land a guy who any of the top schools would have taken in the past three classes (with the exception of Sean Dollars, but I view him as more of an APB). USC should win the South while Oregon wins the North. That game will be interesting this year because it's strength vs. strenght and weakness vs. weakness. Even though USC's offense is now good, I think Oregon's defense can contain them. Also, I think USC's defense will be improved this year because they return a bunch of starts from young and improving players. I think that unit can easily contain Oregon's offense just like vice versa. I'm not sure why I wrote so much about Oregon, but I'm pretty sure I predicted them to win a title under Cristobal in a longform post last year, so I guess it's par for the course.
  17. Damn, forgot this was the ‘22 thread. Regardless, the ‘21 backs I listed still seem promising.
  18. Probably already mentioned, but he’s Aaron Jones’ brother. I know nobody likes missing out on the likes of Wheaton and Johnson, but I think at least one of the backs stringing together offers this spring will be just as good as either of them (maybe not Johnson, but more likely Wheaton). This guy and McCaskill (and maybe even backs like JP Martin, Jaden Nixon, and Cam’Ron Valdez) all have good shots to keep getting better and become successful college backs.
  19. Ohio State has improved a lot academically in the past three decades or so. Out of the four schools talked about, only OU is a bad school. There’s a reason why someone like texifornia, who presumably knows people in all types of careers in NYC, has never even met one of their graduates.
  20. It's a damn shame that the most unlikable of the Big Three will probably have the most accolades in the end. Federer is probably my favorite athlete, but I'd be fine with Nadal eclipsing his Slams record. It seems like Djokovic fans are either just contrarians or Serbians.
  21. Donte Williams is a phenomenal CBs coach.
  22. Buckeye boards seem to think they lead for Caleb Burton as well as Justin Medlock. Supposedly Burton has looked up to Garrett Wilson for a while, so it probably shouldn’t be much of a surprise. https://247sports.com/Player/Caleb-Burton-46076668/ https://247sports.com/Player/Justin-Medlock-46081319/
