Running behind that OSU O-Line, Judkins is going to have be Kenneth Walker III, the sequel if he wants to get drafted in the first round. Larry Johnson is also phoning it in. Should have moved on to be a DC somewhere years ago, now he's on autopilot, hence why they can't develop anyone anymore
I was told OSU was loaded with the best players and won the offseason. No one in the top 20? that can't be right. I was told it was a joke if you didn't have someone drafted in the top 10. Only one WR in the first round? I was told they were going to be more dangerous this year without MHJR...nothing about this adds up.
oh man, is this team also going to collapse late in every game like Juwan's last few teams? I thought we were past this. DUSTY, DON'T PULL YOUR PLAYERS FOR THE FINAL MINUTE OF THE GAME.
Even if you could try to take the most innocuous interpretation of whatever the hell it was he was trying say, what on earth would possess you to think this would be a way to phrase it? I'm not always the most eloquent man on earth but my God, man. what were you thinking?
"Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?"
it's a great idea to force someone who doesn't want to play for you to play for you. If it was the kid, I would be like "Ok. bet. hope you like shitty attitudes, zero effort, and a miserable locker room, cuz that's what I'm bringing this season"
If having the "best" players was all that mattered the last three years would have played out differently. The fact of the matter is that they've been outcoached, outdeveloped, and out-toughed at every level. If having more money to get more "best" players is the only strategy, they're effed. And also, if we manage to beat them again this year, let's see how much the donors want to pony up for next year. OSU has a culture problem, they have holes in key spots on their roster despite being insanely deep at others, and they aren't strong in the trenches.
He was offered and in the mix, but this was the class where they took Damani Dent, Sabb, Zeke Berry, and Kody Jones who were all safety-ish objects and he was more of an athlete with upside that they weren't sure if he was a WR or a DB, so he didn't make the cut.
Surprised by this, even with the injury to Rod Moore. Seems like we had good experienced depth there and some young talent coming on. Perhaps this signals one of the safeties moving to nickel and wanting to add more depth?
Wimsatt would not be marked improvement over Davis Warren or Jack Tuttle, IMO. I also believe that the QB version of PTSD is real and that once guys get the spooks from being behind an o-line that is inferior to many of your opponents d-line, you can shake that out of them. Gavin will more than likely go on to be turnover machine wherever he lands next unless he's at a big fish in a little pond school/conference.
and does jack squat with them...I feel like Kentucky would be a great school to go to i was a high three star who felt like i was going to top out in college and wanted to get paid. For a legitimatley good player though, you could go lots of places that would pay you similar NIL (not here) and you could have a hope of winning more than 8 games once in your career
Yep, I do remember, but typically those schools kept their head coach and already were doing the anything goes model for recruiting so they just got to do more of it. We lost our head coach and half the coaching staff, and have only had an intact staff for a few weeks plus or minus some DUIs.
Harbaugh gonna mess around and win a superbowl with no wide receivers, isn't he? Just extra linemen, a million tight ends, and Bench Mason clearing a path for the backs.
Meh. No more MHJR. Downgrade at QB. Wide receivers are still good but who will get them the ball? Line play is still questionable. And they are running a modified to new offense this year.The d will be very good but effectively the same as last year. Loaded with talent but that ain’t helped em since 2019
Players are going to transfer, be tampered with, etc. - it will happen. Considering we lost our head coach and the entire defensive coaching staff, it’s a miracle we have lost the few players we have and mostly from reserves looking for playing time. And we may be getting a few transfers to come back in NHG and Amorion Walker. This is college football today. Buckle up
Maybe we're going for the COVID reset approach the football team took in 2020 with OSU. Just cancel the season and come back and win a national title in three years.
I’ll toss out a dark horse candidate in 2021 PSU. That game felt like a turning point in the Harbaugh era somehow. If we end up losing that one, does the team have what it takes to bum rush OSU and start this magical run? Cade and All saved that season in my opinion there in Happy Valley which set the stage for OSU and beyond.
If my own life is any lesson, drinking to the point of not sobriety and then driving home can be a reflection of inner pain. I'm not going to stand here and righteously condemn him because, well, I'm ashamed to say I've done it a time or two when I was a younger man. I was that stupid, selfish asshole putting other people in danger instead of doing the obvious, safe, and only right thing. It was then and is now a dangerous, stupid, and inexcusable choice. Denard should be removed from the staff.
But rarely have I come across people who do things like this because everything is hunky dorey in their life and despite that they freewheelingly do destructive things. Sometimes it's physical pain (and from what I understand I'm amazed Denard can walk after his football career), sometimes it's emotional pain, sometimes it's both. But part of why I both don't find myself drinking much these days AND definitely don't make dangerous decisions on the rare times I do drink is because I have moved on from a lot of that pain that held me in its grip. Maybe it was a stupid mistake, a one off, maybe the man is hurting inside, neither of which makes one iota of excuse for making a choice like drunk driving, but I'm glad it didn't cause any lasting harm to him or anyone else, and I hope Denard can find help for what hurts if that is what is going on.
It's an NIL thing man . Rich muckety mucks gonna muckety muck but at least some of that money goes back to keeping players paid as opposed to the Athletic Department
I’d like to imagine someone gives me a few million bucks and then someone else does and a bit of a domino effect starts to happen but I’m in my early 40s and times ticking.
We just locked up our staff like two weeks ago. We are a long way from signing day and while yes we won a title, our head coach hasn’t coached a full season yet or put together his own staff and roster so it’s going to take a little time. Would be good to see if we can get a solid core to a class going in spring and summer, and then see what fall brings on the field. Sherrone is an ace recruiter and put together a mostly young staff who should be good as well. Let’s give it a few months
just keeping beating OSU, win most of your games, and make the playoffs every year. We won't be an unstoppable juggernaut, but staying at a high level of competition and smacking OSU around at least more often than not would be ideal.
Feels like you are blaming the kid for some stuff you don’t have full information on, as almost none of us do. You give him a chance and honor his scholarship like any other student athlete until he either chooses to move on or gives you some concrete reason not to. Jace may not get much playing time next year but he’s talented enough to be in the team and if he wants to stay, he stays
Young guys, particularly guards, tend to make the biggest leap from year one to year two, so hard to say but I think it's a good bet he will be better than last year. Hard to factor in how the team was doing overall as well to get any real clear forecast.
At this point I'm more concerned we'll lose guys to the portal due to lack of carries than trying to bring in portal talent. Do not want. We have two guys in Edwards and Mullings who could probably start for most teams in the B1G. Behind them we have Ben Hall, who Corum called out as the guy to watch, and highly touted RBs who haven't seen the field yet in Cabana and Jordan Marshall.
No offense to Mr. Hayden, but I'm gonna trust Michigan's talent evals and development over OSU

We are behind Iowa, though
it involves a ball, but OP won't tell you what kind
Meh, let him get paid by LSU this year to ride the pine, then pick him up in the transfer portal at a discounted rate.

for some reason this one's in my picture bank. I don't recall why but I blame RGard
He was offered and in the mix, but this was the class where they took Damani Dent, Sabb, Zeke Berry, and Kody Jones who were all safety-ish objects and he was more of an athlete with upside that they weren't sure if he was a WR or a DB, so he didn't make the cut.

dunno why he wouldn't be a take...get it done Sherrone. SMASH
One was probably not a good benchmark for Rob to choose but rather that the majority of them don’t seem to go on to be high level players
and does jack squat with them...I feel like Kentucky would be a great school to go to i was a high three star who felt like i was going to top out in college and wanted to get paid.

Will Howard is very mid and they are already talking about starting a freshman by year end

Yes we need to copy the model of last year’s national champions if we want to succeed…

Portal is open for another week….maybe he is just seeing what is out there?
Surprising? No. Hilarious? Ayup.
Per RCMB he had just signed a big NIL deal a few months ago. LOLZ. Sparty is just so very Sparty sometimes
Thread comment
I dunno is a problematic to only land one top 100 recruit this morning?
Those duds are not duds, that’s for sure

Akeem Miskdeen is a dope name. That's it. That's my post.
I mean I dunno - UCONN has fallen off lately. They haven't a won a title in like at least a week. They're probably getting desperate

not so fast my friend, one of those guys was fired for getting his DUI, so he's not on staff anymore, so just one...just one.
Kadyn Proctor from Alabama to Iowa to Alabama this offseason would be an example

But what will they do when we come out with 10 OL and Alex Orji?

This would be nuts but also awesome, and I hope he doesn't do it, but goddamn it if he does there's no topping that.
