@texifornia what is the pitch count reference?

At TCU he simply wouldn't be on the field for like half of the game, even when he was playing well. He'd just stop at around 20 carries: https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/gamelog/_/id/4685035/zach-evans

The Texas game was an obvious example - he was gashing us, and then just stopped playing even as we ran Bijan down their throats. No indication of injury or anything like that.

Boyd or somebody suggested he was taking himself out of the game frequently

Talk about a twisted recruitment.

Ealy committed to play for the innovated and charismatic Matt Luke. Luke's career has really taken off as he remains an OL coach.

Was it really that weird? Ole Miss took the gamble he'd forego the MLB draft and treated him like a priority when other schools were backing off.

Committed, decommitted, committed

Visited Bama and Clemson in January so I don't think anyone backed off. From the outside, this looked like the prototype "Mississippi recruitment."

I can see the perception, but his recruitment was cleaner than your average bear with those schools. Good family, went to a nice private school in Jackson, really valued the dual-sport flexibility at Ole Miss and that a lot of his high school friends went there.

Well, that whittles the list down to OU, Mizzou and Nebraska for Casey.

Another Casey Thompson finalist chooses another QB.

[Burntcowboy 1845]

Zach only chose Ole Miss because aggy didn’t have room for him,  according to my aggy coworker 

[SimkinsMan 4554]

The portal combined with NIL is pouring gasoline onto an NCAA house already on fire. I don't think anyone knows where college football is headed, and we probably won't know for a few years. It reminds me of what Neo (marketable athletes) said before he hung up the phone (with the NCAA) in The Matrix.

Quote

I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change.

I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin.

I am going to hang up this phone.

And then I am going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you.

A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible.

One thing does seem clear: above all else money talks. The kids want to get paid. And they're going to get paid. 

What I feel good about is Texas' decision to move to the SEC. Kids want to get paid, and they want to win. There is going to be one conference with the most money and the best teams. And it fucking sucks for those of us who liked college football 20 years ago with conferences and some semblance of parity. But those days are gone. There will be one super league with the best teams, and as a result the most money. Texas is joining that league and adding to the prestige.

I'm glad to be along for the wild ride with you surly assholes.

Don't leave Auburn off the finalist list even though they've shown exactly zero interest.  

Wasn't TCU rumored an option at one point?  I know dad left them off the list in that interview but I thought they made a lot of sense.

Wouldn't make a lot of sense for his dad to send him into a QB room with Duggan and Morris. I bet Morris starts pulling away in that competition in the Spring and Duggan portals.

Totally-  for some reason I had incorrectly been thinking Duggan was older/gone.  Feels like he has been there longer than three seasons.

Bo Davis, Choate, and B Harris are all now following the LB Troy Brown.  Coaches from USC, UCF, and Colorado have also started following. 

 

From Bobby:

Quote

According to Gerry Hamilton, Texas has spoken to Central Michigan grad transfer linebacker Troy Brown within the last hour.

Brown, a three-time All-MAC selection for the Chippewas, announced his intention to transfer in the last 24 hours.

The Horns have already offered Brown’s Central Michigan teammate, safety Devonni Reed.

 

Comment from Gerry:

That's all I've got for now guys. Just that initial contact has been made.

But it's telling Texas jumped on him quickly.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say we have all become massive Zach Calzada fans. We need him to go full Brett Favre gunslinger on this bitch so we can simply blame his previous QB coach. 

[Huckleberry 34655]

I know Auburn told the world he lied, but one day after his statement, 2 of the schools Charles Thompson said were options for Casey chose someone else.

Charles Thompson is full of shit.  Fuck that guy for pretty much everything he's done

[RomaVicta 30591]

Is Auburn's O-line good enough to give him some time to pass every once in awhile? I thought he looked pretty damn good after the first few games.

He'll focus on the Aggie game like he did on the Alabama game last year. I'll be watching.

Has no one considered that maybe Casey believed so strongly in Harsin's vision that he was willing to walk on and earn his scholarship?

He improved a bunch during the season, but he had a very real ceiling. He looked like crap vs LSU, but looked like Brett Favre Jr vs Bama.

He does have an elite arm. Ball doesnt always hit its target, but it gets there in a hurry.
