Huge. Ok feet, but he has some work to do to get into a starting role. Very strong upper body, but he does have a tendency to briefly plant and then recover when delivering a blow, and for me that is really difficult to get out of his game. Defensive players worth a grain of salt will run through that contact and that brief stoppage of the feet causes you to lose the angle.
However, I think Rimac and Altuner are day one starters.
And looked good in the spring. Although you could make the argument that Caleb Nitta (and the other walkon Tyler Smedley) were the best OL for VT in the bowl game. It was that bad. Of course, if Nitta was calling the protections you can subtract a huge chunk from his score.

dork magic keeps you covered and/or fully dipped!
Dismissed college coach is a lot like dismissed CEO, in a lot of ways.
You have it all backwards - if you go sit on the bench at UGA, you're getting less NIL than you would as a starter at a VT or similar program. If you choose to sit on the bench at UGA, you're banking on the ability to get coached up in order to get drafted after 4+ years.
I agree with you - it just seems like some people think that teams like Texas (and other blue bloods, but especially Texas) can pay their bench players more than starters at almost every other school, so they could theoretically take a lot of the competing talent off the board and have them on their bench (which I don't buy, but from what I've read on here, seems to be what people think).
But SOME bench players, who are more "in waiting" type players would probably make more than starters at most places, like if GA recruits a new 5 star QB who would follow after their current guy uses his last year of eligibility type scenario. I mean, would a team pay a bunch of guys who may not start, but essentially rotate heavily during games to always throw fresh legs (like O and D lines) at the other team?
turns out the market for college football players is different than for NFL players
Best? Maybe - I used to joke something similar, but I'd argue dismissed CEO pays more and you get the same end result of being able to sit at home.
But those don't pay as well as being successful, and if you like coaching and helping kids be better and follow pro dreams and win, being a successful coach that gets paid a lot is a much better job.
Guess he didn't sign the magical binding paperwork we have this year.
Gotta think that if he stuck at WR, he would be in a way better spot right now.
Bingo - I promise Pavia isn't getting several million. Best case (for him) I can see a team taking a flyer on him for lowww 7 figures next year at most. I think mid-6-figures is more likely.
Okay, but how many players do you think realistically would make more from NIL than an NFL salary?
There's two sets of guys:
- Guys who are too young to go to the league, but are (mostly) NFL ready (MHJ, Jeremiah Smith, Trevor Lawrence, etc) - these guys are getting 7 figures in college, and they'll get even more in the NFL. But they can't go the NFL right now.
- Guys like Pavia or Max Dugen who are top 10 CFB QBs in any given year, but don't have the size to do anything in the NFL. They will demand mid-6-figures in college ball because they can win games, but they're UNDAs in the NFL who bounce around NFL teams for a few weeks here, a few weeks there, repeatedly getting cut, probably making (at most) the same amount in their entire NFL career that they did in 1-2 years of college football.
But if someone is dumb enough to chase NIL money and potentially sacrifice a shot at an NFL salary (like taking NIL to sit on the bench at a school with deep pockets like Texas where you get zero playing time, so a team wouldn't draft you), that's an IQ test that someone failed.
You have it all backwards - if you go sit on the bench at UGA, you're getting less NIL than you would as a starter at a VT or similar program. If you choose to sit on the bench at UGA, you're banking on the ability to get coached up in order to get drafted after 4+ years.
This was Nick Saban's strategy - his bama teams barely payed players, but he sent so many guys to the league, that recruits didn't care.
Not a good LB. At all.
Keli Lawson has decommitted from UCF and is back in the portal.
Lower the age to enter any sports league to 13. If you are Mr. travel baseball and want money, sign with a pro team at age 13.
I think this solves a lot of problems. Messi signed his first contract at 13 or 15 or something. Easy.
If you transfer schools with your coach NOT leaving you must sit a year. Do those 2 things, and most of this gets fixed.
I'm fine with this too. I'm all for limits on the portal.
How lucky are the Cowboys' that the Bears want to interview McCarthy?

# | OT: Your attention, please. I have a very important announcement to make 🫅🏻 Today, that is the rule, not the exception!
It might be embarrassing and all, but it's lucrative and they can do that job at home, before coming back as some kind of coordinator, coach, or consultant.
Best job in the whole world is a former college HC that got dismissed early.
I think Johnson will need a little more time to add size, but while he didn't jump out as much as Laws, he didn't look out of place either.
Laws is probably about as big as he is going to get.
Correct. ASU has always been located in Tempe with great weather. The made a big gaff hiring a meh NFL retread thinking it would work. He cheated before there were no rules and they made a great hire in Dillingham- a young offensive coach with deep ties to the area. In the new big 12, they can certainly compete- but like VT as you mention, they need the right coach and right roster to be a consistent winner. Weather and hot co-eds aren't enough
