# | Commitments of 2016 ATH Henri Murphy, 2017 ATH Malik Willis Prompt Justin Fuente to Jump for Joy When he originally committed, he was class of 2017 i believe, meaning he wouldn't even enroll till next year. They somehow got him to enroll as part of the 2016 class assuming he wouldn't be eligible this season (transfer rules?), but have an extra year in the program/weight room. Turns out now he has been declared eligible for this season. They could still redshirt him this season, but seems unlikely considering depth.
I am curious how he became eligible.
The SEC one is a little less guarded. Texas A&M especially gets ripped a good bit.

I think it's an interesting strategy...and the future. I'm surprised this type of no-contact practice hasn't caught on.
If you don't know about him, read this article about Coach John Gagiarldi (or google his name). He had a very unorthodox coaching style (the "Nos") and won more games than any coach in NCAA history (489 games).

I'm not kidding, I thought he committed to us a few months ago.
Is "in-state" recruiting just not a thing anymore? With kids having such easy access to so many schools for recruiting, with parents facetiming their kids, very little to tie a kid to a geographical area anymore. I see all the 2018 offers listed here are out-of-state.
{I realize that isn't as much about Franklin who was a Virginia transplant anyway.}

# | UNC admits to "Lack of Institutional Control" in response to NCAA Notice of Allegations This was a planned defense from before they got caught. They made sure there was at least 1 more non-athlete than athletes in every class, so by the NCAA definition of providing specials benefits to athletes they were not. Non-classes were open to all students, not just athletes, so not an NCAA issue, an academic issue.

# | UNC admits to "Lack of Institutional Control" in response to NCAA Notice of Allegations I will probably continue to hate UNC for the rest of my life because I just don't see them being punished the way they should
The only correct answer is that it should never end. In fact, if loluva never won another game in any sport that would be ideal. But since you asked, I'll say the year 2145. My youngest was born in 2014, so even if my grandkids live to be 100 they will never have to endure the shame of a loss to loluva.

# | UNC admits to "Lack of Institutional Control" in response to NCAA Notice of Allegations so...pretty much this:
Liberty-Win. Flashes of a much improved offense, yet Fuente restricts the playbook preparing for UT. 44-6
UT-Loss. Playing a bend don't break defense keeps it to a 3 point deficit at half. UT pulls away in 2nd half. 34-21
BC-Win. We jump on them early. Their offense characteristically stalls. 37-10. Curse you Matt Ryan.
ECU-Win. No Ruffin, No win. Big 2nd half. 38-17
UNCheat-Win. We come in as 7.5 point underdogs. Evans shines on a big stage in a clutch moment. 27-24
Syracuse-Win. We remain focused on getting revenge for D. McNabb. 45-24
Da U-Win. Intensity mirrors that of 2011 game, as does the closeness. 34-31
Pitt-Loss. Trap game after high intensity vs da U, and deservedly so, Connor has himself a ball game. 24-20
Duke-Win. Cutliffe is an amazing coach, doesn't mean much in this game tho. 34-17
GT-Win. Hoping an official gets tackled and hits Paul Johnson at the knees. 24-6
ND-Loss. Honestly, I've never hated a team as much as I hate ND. I hate them more after the result. 34-24
UVA-Win. Actually I hate UVA more. 34-10
9-3 regular season...I'll take it.
Most people are underselling GT. They had a lot of injuries last year and their TO margin fell off a cliff on both sides of the ball. With Thomas returning, I think that is around an 8 win team.
I think you have them well judged.
Trap game? Since when have we ever had to worry about a trap game? /s
Insert non-generic "using research and data to improve a sport and society" comment here.
Not taking a shot at you but playing smarter and decreasing injury seems like something that is great for football and society. Dartmouth isn't playing any national power teams but a 9-1 season is great no matter who you're playing. And fewer regular season injuries could have something to do with those results. Id like to see what happens when there is a larger amount of data
You can see your desire to do in-depth writeups wain as you get further down the list. :D
this was my first prediction...but I went the more pessimistic route for some reason...carry over from Monday I guess.
guy clearly gets it!
I look at is as star rankings will give you a good idea as to how early he will benefit your football team.
5*- immediate impact 2 deep player
4*- good chance of 2 deep definitely will have a role
3*- red-shirt season unless depth at position is non existent
