They have been every bit as good/better than we have been since Leipold got there
Thought we had him when he came out of high school. Here's to hoping we land him.
Not to get religious but the Israelites sure did do a lot of transferring from place to place in the Old Testament so maybe it is the plan
Jordan Bass in the portal 👀👀
NEWS: Pitt LB Jordan Bass has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, per @PeteNakos_.Bass was a top 50 recruit in the 2023 class.https://t.co/aED5LJeZoM pic.twitter.com/N6quwTARBI— Transfer Portal (@TransferPortal_) December 20, 2024
At this point, with new commits, portal and graduation, we are around 73 scholarships right now. It's clear they are working towards 105. That leaves 32 scholarships remaining.
Plus Cam Seldon is on campus, although I would like to see him at the STAR or at a receiver spot instead of tailback. He ran kind of upright and it resulted in some injuries at Tennessee.
Checks boxes for inside runner, he is built like a bowling ball. Nice choice
Mike ended up doing pretty well at D3 Bridgewater...
I guess KU is technically a P4 program
Okay, i can see taking 1 seasoned RB but 2? And no OL yet? This is kind of concerning. There are much bigger needs right now than adding multiple bodies to the RB room and taking a "developmental" DL. Not looking good
Oh, I agree, I meant more along the lines the lines of wanting to bring in like 4 or 5 in a class so you have to target 7 or 8, assuming you won't get all of them and Crook not having recruited enough candidates. That vs something like Crook decided his strategy was he only wanted to bring in 3 in a class and develop them over time, and really targeting those 3, but missing out on 1, or something like that. Hopefully that made sense. Or maybe Crook wanted to bring in 5, but instead of targeting 7 or 8, he only targeted 5, thinking if he tried hard enough, he could bring them all on board. I don't know -my brain is kind of fried from work.
I thought I was here too...but if government gets shutdown, I am essential personnel so all my leave would be cancelled, I will be working without paychecks until next CR is passed and I get to fight to get my use or lose leave back. Fun times
Herbert was from a P4 program. The only lower division dude was Tuten... my point.
3.5 hours left until I am done with work for the year.
Herbert, Tuten, Stewart. Transfer portal rbs have been great here.
Seems like Hawkins is a multi year back to build around.
That said we still definitely need some lineman here at some point
Reading for comprehension was never one of my strong points.
Thanks for the correction GGC. That's why Joe pays you the big bucks.
Can he do both? Mike Young could use some help.
But blaming 30 years of change on NIL/portal (each ~a half decade old) just isn't rational.
In 2024......ZERO.....as in not a single one 5-Star Recruit signed with a non-P2 school. For the first time since Recruiting Rankings have been tracked. Things have changed massively in 5 years....to pretend like NIL and the Transfer Portal haven't changed the hierarchy isn't rational.
Clemson is case-in-point of this. They have gone from Blueblood to Outside looking in largely based on Dabo's refusal to jump into the Transfer Portal Cesspool. Wake Forest is now dead as a Program due to the Transfer Portal.
D2 and FCS Programs are going to be destroyed by the Pavia Decision because why waste your time there when you can just play JUCO and then have a chance to cash in for 4 years?
I get it, you have made it repeatedly clear that "get your cash, forget the rest" is your view on the best path forward. That attitude is what has led CFB to the chaotic shitshow that it is now and it ultimately going to collapse it from the inside out. Because just like there isn't any Angel Investor coming in to rescue VT Football, there is no Body coming in to actually create a reasonable and competitive structure for CFB. And if you haven't read the room on this (and many other) boards, lots of people are already fed up with the process and product.
Im sure there is a plan. I hope its deeper than hoping Bashul Tuten lighting strikes twice.
"3 years of eligibility"- at LEAST...
You don't see an issue with a sport that needs to be propped up by huge donors? Millionaires to make it work? There are not that many of those that you might think there are. And I'd argue with you on power structure- Miami and Nebraska were once THE power structure in the sport. WV and VT played for national titles. Florida is treading water now- Meyer had them dominant. If you want to say that the P4 was the power structure- sure... but its not always bama and UGA... in fact UGA went 40 years between titles. Texas was firing charlie stong and herman not long ago and Mack Brown had a reputation for underachieving. To pretend that its the same over 30 years is not true.
Jahzari Priester anagrams to Jeer Airship Czar, which is coincidentally what my fellow New Jerseyans evidently did when the FAA commissioner asked us to stop zapping planes with lasers
We were all just on edge waiting for any news!
Also I needed an excuse to start drinking at noon
2 rbs and a DL -- one of the RBs got triple (!!!) posted here
Brooks has put three straight starting backs into the NFL. In Elijah we trust.
