This is gonna do it guys, we might as well close up shop.

 

Grabbing a SEVENTH year player who is meh and was hurt almost all of this season. I get wanting locker room experience, but guy played (occasionally) at Baylor and UAB. Pretty sure there are/were better options.

Between the two of them, probably knew he’s losing his job

I don't understand it. Van Buren was really good for a freshmen. Lebby hitching his wagon to Jackson Arnold means he's not serious as a HC in the SEC.

My money's on him wanting to be a grad assistant/coach after this year.  This is his path forward.

Bobby might have squashed any Ewers questions, but I'll point out some numbers. After Bo Nix went 10th overall the next QB drafted was Spencer Rattler in the 5th round. Rattler signed a 4 year/4.95 million dollar contract.

If you wanna go back to Will Levis in 2023, went early second round, signed 4 years 9.5 million. 

What round is Quinn projected? It sure doesn't look like 1st at this point

There are probably at least a half dozen teams that would pay Quinn what Rattler is making. Then he'd get another crack at raising his stock

There has to be more to the Maalik story.  I can't figure out why he'd want to leave when Duke gives him as good a shot as anywhere to make it to the league, plus a damn good degree if he doesn't.

He doesn't strike me as the type to just chase a few more NIL $s.

People always say this about athletes but most of their degrees don't mean shit. He majored in Comm at UT and Psych at Duke, which by themselves aren't strong degrees. His non-athletic  potential comes from a network high-powered alums, which exists in many sufficiently large schools.

I assume any player who says they are going into the portal can still play with their team thru the playoffs if they want and the school agrees?

I finally added only the second poster ever to my ignore list. Good grief.

Have you checked the football board?  Quinn is playing great.  His teammates are letting him down

UT’s moody school of communications is a top tier communication college. Wtf are you talking about?

This is a down year when it comes to QBs in the draft which will push Quinn higher up draft boards. You don’t know what next year will look like and with his injury history coming back for another year is a big gamble.  I don’t see him or his team taking that risk.

His camp is supposedly getting mid to late round feedback. He’s plummeted over the course of the season, regardless of any other QBs.

Dude, Arnold is visiting Auburn this weekend and they lead for him. Where are you getting the MSU shit, unless you’re alluding to dated stuff from OU idiots making assumptions. Links please. 

Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold
As On3 reported earlier today, Mississippi State is in the driver’s seat for Oklahoma quarterback transfer Jackson Arnold.

If he's going to rise due to lack of other options, he needs guys like Milroe, Nussmeier, Allar, Beck, etc to return to college. The tape is bad. He's ok on play-action and RPOs, but he's terrible in pure drop back in relative to NFL play 

He's played like a 4th rounder, but QB inflation could always get him into the 3rd round. His best fit is a McShanahan tree guy who'd joystick him with defined reads if he's forced into the game early, and hopefully he'd develop from there

And Chipotle is a top tier fast-casual national chain.  So what?

An undergrad degree from Moodys by itself lands the holder a coveted job as... assistant digital content producer on the KXAN website?

If he's a 3rd-stringer studying business with an offer to play for the UPenn Quakers or Alabama Tide... yeah, ride the the pine at Penn.  Easy.

If he's a starter with no prospect of an NFL career, he's going to be offered non football opportunities by connected alums who liked the fact of him being a QB, that's as good at Florida as it is at Duke.  For a guy like Maalik, his football fame generates more value than the relative brand power of a Duke degree.

I assumed that Maalik was told by Duke that they were bringing in competition, so he bounced, but hitting free agency to marginally get a better deal also makes sense, although his priority should be (1) guarantee to start and (2) situation (system, surrounding talent) more than getting an extra 25% or whatever

An update on this

"Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold
Oklahoma transfer quarterback Jackson Arnold is working on a visit schedule. He’s expected at Auburn this week, plus Mississippi State is trying to bring him in on Friday or Saturday."

I agree with the sentiment that MSU should have just kept Van Buren and groomed him to be a four year starter. I thought he was poised for a true freshman and had pretty good tools

If the NIL stuff is true, then I guess I get it, but I wouldn't take that intel to the bank

Sturdivant has cratered since leaving Cal.  Hard pass.  Maybe a take for Texas State

Worth noting that he was banged up all year

I'm sure Texas will take a look

So @52-80, Maalik is planning to go pro in something other than sports back were he grew up and needs the UCLA network?

For all the reasons that inform his choice of transfer destination -- skill development for possible NFL career, getting more NIL cash, joining a more high profile or successful team, etc -- the 'goodness' of a Duke degree matters the least.

The thing with Georgia tackles is that state cranks out so many quality ones every year they always have dudes with talent that just don't get many snaps. Have to seriously evaluate a dude coming out of there who didn't get playing time and see if he's a fit culturally. Bill Norton was one of those dudes and he's done damn well for us in his specific role this season. 

 

Louisiana usually has some good defensive line talent as well, and since LSU is down, Texas should try and take advantage.

I see, so you're just shitting on the concept of a Communicatoins degree in general. Got it. You're right, no one has ever made big dollars in Advertising, Public Relations, and yes, lets poo poo Radio, Television, and Film. Big Losers all of them. 

While I understand the premise you're making, and it's not without some merit that an alumni network matters, I do just disagree with your premise and there isn't really anywhere to go from here. But yeah, he should definitely go to LSU, with their vast alumni network of people who can get him a job in sanitation and swamp draining. Maybe sometimes the kind of alumni does matter.

Do they teach about anecdotes and statistical outliers in Communicatoins? Bill Gates made big dollars as a college drop-out. I advise all students to drop out.

Academic credentials matter to senior WR #49 Thatcher Milton, who will not be hired on the grounds of being Thatcher Milton alone.

A degree from Duke (as opposed to, say, LSU), or one from the best Communicatoins school in America, is not meaningful to a person of Maalik's profile. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

There's too much stupid in this post to even address. So yeah, lets move on.

It’s looking like Quinn coming back may have been a bad choice for both parties.  He would have probably got drafted 2nd- 4th round last year and Texas probably would be in a better state on offense with Arch having a season of experience.
