I had gotten some information that for now, Conte is at Tackle and Teller is at Guard to start the spring.
Also that Teller is up in the 290s as far as weight. Him and Conte are battling it out in the weight room for lifting numbers.
Agree!

# | Bitter blog - ESPN's Kiper: If QB doesn't work out, Logan Thomas could be a TE down the line The article mentions Tebow and says it LT is not like that because Thomas played the position and would not be a project. I think Tebow would have been just fine playing TE in college if he wasn't busy winning national titles at QB. Give the guy some credit, he was a dynamic offensive college player.
Okay you win
Seems to me JJ may need a new mentor...I feel like JJ still coaches like an assistant coach. He's all about teaching - which in and of itself isn't a bad thing at all- but I think the jobs of teaching fundamentals (the fact that these still needs to be taught at this level is another rant entirely) should be left to the assistants. The head coach is the leader, the figure head. His primary job should be designing and implementing sound strategies to win games as well as motivating, encouraging, and disciplining his players. In theory, he shouldn't have time to be teaching the little things.
Now I'm no coach, but I played basketball very competitively for 12 years under some great coaches and that was always my observation.

We need to be prepared to spend at minimum $1-$1.5 million to attract a good coach, plus another $1-$1.5 million for his staff. We cannot continue to hire these discount coaches and expect anything different than what we've had the past few decades. I think it's become pretty clear that we're getting what we pay for.
$680K plus 5% annually with some additional bonuses that cap at total comp poss of $800K
With regards to your first paragraph, I think it's just a depth issue. The new recruits will have many of the same challenges making the high school-to-college transition, but we were consistently relying on a freshman playing 35+ minutes a game this year. The incoming recruits should preclude that from being a necessity next year.
JJs primary assistant head coach has like 32 years in coaching mostly at Penn State and already acts asJJs mentor. What the staff seems to lack is a coach that primarily supports improving the offensive awareness, shot selection, and flow on the offensive end of the court. That's where I would like to see them find a new assistant.
Here is Whit's dilemma...
I'm a donor (decently big...but one of "those" big donors)...they are asking me to increase my donation. My answer is why would I give you more money, when BB has been in money saving mode for the JW years (remember Seth was a budget hire that worked out well and JW didn't give him decent money until he had to)? Putting up ceiling fans and new stadium cups isn't going to do it. Show me you're serious about changing the BB culture and I'll evaluate my donation.
Easy to say "spend money now" when we would be forking out over a million a year to coaches that aren't here or wouldn't be (JJ). Not to mention the $750,000+ it would take to get in a better coach.
As for JJ. One player not qualifying academically this year, another had to sit for the NCAA, and massive injuries have left him playing just 6 players for significant minutes. That is circumstances outside of his control.
He adapted too change his defense and improved the team. A little late, but he got there.
Eddie crashing and burning under the pressure of being a senior, NOBODY expected that. Again outside of JJ's control.
Every coach deserves a chance at their third year of a contract. This will be his second class coming in. And one important thing you are overlooking. The team never quit on the coach.
I always love it when we enroll recruits early for all the reasons you stated. Plus, they get an extra spring of practice. That's always good.
Seriously though, Rock jokes will never get old with this kid
Want him to enroll early.
That's the coaching staff telling him to get there for spring practice they want him to play and they want to help work on his nutrition and strength program.
It's also signaling that he's smart enough to finish H.S. a bit early, no academic issues.
Good job.
