Golden might make more by coming back and building on what he’s doing than going into the draft. The replacement cost for him is significant. I’m hoping they retain him and that’s that at WR. 

Williams has been working out with the team already, albeit non-contact. He was looking good ahead of the injury. 

If you just go through the exercise of asking yourself if you believe that Texas is going to head into next season short: a seasoned WR, a solid three deep at DT, a solid three deep at RB. I don’t. History says they’ll be fine. 

FWIW, it sounds like they feel good about where things go from here in this transfer cycle. 

Nice, I didn't know Williams was that far along already. For some reason thought he had a torn ACL. I assume this means he'll be full-go by summer at least.

Based on history I also wouldn't be surprised to see a veteran rotation CB brought in like Holmes or Cole. They seem to like having a solid 4-5 person rotation there and I haven't seen anything to indicate that exists for next year as of now. Right now I guess it's MM, Guilbeau, Black (who's been just OK), and others who haven't played any meaningful snaps.

Other than DT, WR if Golden leaves, and maybe S if Taaffe leaves, I don't see much need for big headliner type of guys at any position BUT I would like to see a few depth additions similar to Brad Spence at CB, S, maybe WR and TE.

I know he hasn’t handled things well but I hope things workout for him at UF.  Time to grow up.

Yeah, next time it will be different. And if he handles himself with the same maturity he has shown after he got into the dog house at Texas, I'm sure things will work out better for him with a change of scenery.

The stupid fucking mobile posting. Better not fat finger a delete below a quoted post or you are fucked. 

I like this TE. I don’t know how he grades on the blocking side, but he has good hands. He’s not the fastest guy, but neither is Gunnar Helm. 

Chris Carter of TEs - only 20 catches but 7 of them were TDs.

Golden coming back would be excellent news. I think he, Wingo, and Moore make an excellent WR core. We'd lack an absolute burner, unless Bond can be convinced to come back.

He’s going to a place where he is at best the third or fourth option even if he isn’t a total cancer. I don’t see this turning out any better for him at Florida. I’m guessing MAC/AAC/Big 12 as his third destination in the next portal cycle.

Silly Fernando.  Turned down Cal’s offer thinking he’d get a bigger bag… didn’t… talked about coming back to Berkeley but had burned too many bridges and some of his bag had been spent elsewhere… settles for less cash and chubby farm girls.  Well done, Mendoza, well done

South Dakota runs an odd defense. Grace is 6-4 255, but moves around on the DL.

This is a good article on South Dakota's DC. He tries to run a "positionless defense" that tries to muddy reads.

Yes he settled for a team that made the playoffs versus a meddling team that is attached to a school not taking football seriously. What an idiot.

Pretty amazing that a backup QB from Penn State could get a $1.5 million NIL offer. Also the same article said that Jackson Arnold’s offer was in the same range.

I was thinking about this the other day. More teams are investing in football, more teams are going “all in”, and with revenue sharing almost every team will have a floor millions above what they’re spending now. 
 

But talent is finite and there aren’t anymore good players than there were yesterday. The result will be more stories like you’ve described. Everyone getting paid and marginal talents getting extremely good deals especially at premium positions. 
 

We see it all the time in baseball with the most average left handed pitchers getting sweetheart deals because teams have money to spend and it has to go somewhere.

What does tOSU do differently than we do with Wingo? I'm genuinely curious. Is it scheme? I just don't understand how a guy like him doesn't get more passes his way, whereas Smith eats. Yes, I know they have Egbuka, too, but surely Wingo should be getting more looks/passes his way. Same with Ryan Williams. 
 

Bobby keeps saying all three are in the same category, yet Wingo has either been under used or something? I don't get it. 2 frosh are dominating their competition (one is 17), but something is weird. Ohio State has more than just Smith, and he's feasting, but Bobby and all that...

Wingo was our 4th wideout for much of the year. There's not a lot of targets available for a backup. And Smith looks like a freak.  I think he could go to the NFL right now and be good. Williams needs some S&C, but our staff thought he was the top HS wideout in the country in any classification when he was still a HS junior.

Smith was the #1 composite recruit for a reason and most people thought Williams was one of the top WRs to ever come out of HS.

I'm high on Wingo but those two guys are just insane talents.
