Yes but this was always the case. Why put up such a strong fight to begin with to only walk away with our tails behind our legs now? I think there is some information that the public is not yet aware of
So he is now saying that the binders of dirt don’t have any evidence of illegal scouting? That’s a letdown from the dossier that had been discussed previously
What confuses me is why they have chosen not to send this information to the Big 10 yet. This is the moment when doing so will have the maximum strategic benefit as it could prevent any punishment from being handed down. Why wait until a punishment has been announced to release this information? Doesn’t make sens
Thanks for the summary and link but at this point I’m taking every supposed scoop that our insiders have with a grain of salt given how much they have been wrong about everything and seem to be chasing clicks more than anything else. Fingers crossed that at least one of these is true, essentially the last one!
I am also hoping that today is the day that we drop the dossier on all of the dirt that we have on Ohio and other schools. Now is the time to do it from a strategic perspective so I hope the powers that be understand that.
We really should be dropping the dossier we have on Ohio’s transgressions now. This is the point when doing so has the maximum strategic advantage. Why are we holding back?
ACC is the answer. We will bring more value to that conference which will mitigate the revenue differential. Also the fallout after the way the Big 10 treated us will ultimately diminish the value of that conference
Why haven’t we released the dossier on all of Ohio’s and others’ transgressions? It would make much more strategic sense to release that info ahead of our response to the Big 10 rather than after. At the very lease we should definitely do it before the conference announces its sanctions. Time is of the essence!
It was obvious that Stalions was a deranged individual based on everything that had come out before this, but I hope they throw the book at him for perpetrating fraud on one of our players.
Impressed with Santa standing up for his people in the face of immense pressure from the public and the conference. I have faith that he will eventually replace Warde with someone who has similar fortitude!
I was just checking 11 Warriors to see what they are saying there and there is a forum post from someone called the Oracle which supposedly offers a media member’s perspective. Does anyone know if this guy is an actual credentialed media member or just another fanboy conspiracy theorist?
I was of the opinion that Stallions was a rogue actor and today’s SI article seemed to back that up, but this report blows that theory out of the water. I’m saddened and disappointed in our coaches that we had to resort to these types of nefarious measures.
I will back whoever wins the job in the spring knowing that it’s likely that the loser enters the portal as they both have the same eligibility remaining.
I don’t like the way he addressed the 4th quarter fumble. He originally blamed it on Corum and is now backtracking. I understand wanting to protect your 5 star true freshman but he shouldn’t have done that at the expense of Corum. Here is Harbaugh’s retraction after blaming the fumble on Corum:
Cade stepped up and showed why he is QB1. Since he and JJ both have the same eligibility remaining (4 years including this one), one of them is going to transfer. Personally I would rather have one in the hand than 2 in the bush so give me Cade all day long.
I highly doubt that either guy is willing to be a back up for the rest of their careers. They both have 3 years of eligibility remaining after this year so one of them is going to transfer.
For me Cade is QB1 end of story. I know that would mean that JJ would probably transfer as they have the same eligibility left and Cade is not an early NFL draft entry candidate, but that’s reality in the transfer portal era.
The issue is that although Cade and JJ are 2 years apart as far as recruiting classes, they have the same eligibility remaining and Cade isn’t going to be an early entry NFL player so one is going to transfer. The coaching staff is trying to appease them both but at some stage they should pick a horse and go with him. That’s the unfortunate reality of college football in the transfer portal era as both of these guys are too talented to be back ups for their careers. I just hope neither of them transfers to a Big 10 contender such as PSU or Wisconsin although I can see how both destinations would make sense for them.

Ramifications for coaches and school officials doing everything they could in order to preserve the opportunity for their players to actually play football? If anything this is a feather in their cap when it comes to recruiting and their commitment to student athletes. I shudder to think about what would happen if similar information comes to light from the Michigan side. Reports indicate that our administration was far from being as supportive of our players.
Great read and I agree that the class is about as good as we could have hoped given the circumstances. However, the fact remains that the talent gap between us and the top of the league widened this cycle
That’s an interesting take. It seems like there are 5 top tier corners in the 2022 class that you could put in any order with Jackson, Harris, Johnson, Singletary and Hunter. I think we are the favorite for Johnson and have a good shot at Jackson. Where does OSU stand w these guys?
Although I agree with this, Johnson sounds like the rare 5 star who is considering factors beyond getting to the NFL, and his father is clearly pushing him to us as well. Johnson didn’t sound that excited about his trip in his comments after his trip.
Considering that our best and possibly only option for avoiding a loss to OSU is to duck them and use a handful of positive COVID cases as an excuse, I don’t think we could adopt OSU’s recruiting tactics if we wanted to

We have 3 backs on the roster better than him
I think this is where not having Harbaugh on game day hurts the most as he knows how to get the best out of JJ.
JJ will be the 3rd QB taken so should go.
DE should come back but running backs have a short shelf life so I wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves.
Of course they will both be gone if Harbaugh isn’t here.
Is it too much to ask for real journalists to cover our team rather than fanboy “insiders”?
Yes but this was always the case. Why put up such a strong fight to begin with to only walk away with our tails behind our legs now? I think there is some information that the public is not yet aware of
Yes I’m still waiting for that fever dream to come true that I paid for with my subscription
We should have released it before any suspension was announced. I really don’t know what we are waiting for at this point.

Surprised he went out on such a limb..if we have contrary evidence then he is going to look like a fool
Hopefully Petitti is listening to sage counsel like this!

A true leader
Didn’t see this. Do you have a link?
The optics here look terrible but it’s essentially a minor violation.
Since when does the WSJ cover sports?!

Definitely positive for the rogue actor narrative.
A true warrior!

Great season and onto the next one. Looks like this is JJ’s team going forward!

Even their recruiting coverage is better than ours. Oklahoma is the only school that rivals us when it comes to homerism on that front.

My thoughts exactly
Didn’t they say the same thing about Zack Harrison?
Really thought he could be a difference maker but if it wasn’t going to work then it’s better to find out sooner rather than later.
Where did he say this? Sad if true as he really checks every box

We will be in a similar position if Harbaugh can’t find an NFL job so let’s hope he does.

Well you don’t get to where he has gotten without being competitive and ambitious so I will hold out hope that the right offer could sway him.
I see that they have the number 2 receiver committed for 2022 so at least that streak will finally be over soon
