If he actually goes in the Top 15 of Round 1 he will sign a Monster Contract.
He’s been through more adversity than I can remember for one our QBs so I hope he at least gets that Huge Payday.
I missed it being announced at some point.
That’s by far the biggest pickup.
I kind of expected everyone to be really excited over it.
I’ve only seen folks talking about the Mich OL for some reason…lol
I have no idea what our OL will look like since we are still shopping for 3-4 new guys.
QB is clear.
Mack or KR depending on who wins the job in the Spring and the new TF is QB3
Unless Mack or KR leave before the portal closes.
I’m stunned.
He must have still received a 1st Round Grade.
So yeah I’m stunned.
I wish him the best and appreciate him never leaving and being such a tough player.
That’s true.
On the field discipline in general seemed better.
We didn’t really have any demonstrative outbursts from anyone this past year when there were a few too many in 2024.
The Best usually borrow from the Best.
Just about any great Guitar player in Blues, Rock, or Metal can have their style and phrasings traced back to Albert King and/or Buddy Guy.
It’s a compliment I suppose.
Yeah it was at least 55 yards in the Air and Bang On Accurate.
No telling how much Confidence could have been built off that play too for Both Guys had it been a TD.
This is a Highlights vid worth watching:
I can see why the staff is interested!!
He has very good vision and can quickly find holes on interior runs.
He can also bounce it outside and has Speed to get around the corner.
Looks to have very good hands catching the ball out of the backfield...
I was encouraged by his play early in the year.
This season was such a blur I can’t remember if he got injured or when.
But he was making a few recs almost every game the 1st half of the season and you could see flashes of talent.
I hope to see him develop more and possibly have a larger role.
Possibly.
We’ll know in the next few years if he keeps them on top in the B1G and a Perennial CFBP Contender.
It’s not often you see a guy take over a 3-9 program and have them knocking on the door of a NC in Year 2.
We definitely need a new OL coach but something has to change at S&C too.
Folks around here smarter than me about OL play have said that our guys weren’t in the right shape to execute what it seems like the OL was being asked to do in the running game or passing game.
But I also think a...
Agree.
It’s now similar to the NFL.
Pro teams don’t draft 20+ players new to the league every year and hope they pan out.
They build the team around established players and Draft 5-7 Rookies.
It looks like in CFB you can’t afford now to invest time and NIL resources in 20+ HS kids and hope...
Yeah the reason he was the PR guy was because he was the only one trustworthy enough to field the punt.
His reputation is a guy who has good hands.
So when one of our largest issues this year was drops then it feels like a wasted opportunity to not give this kid extra reps at WR.
He’s...
OM has the best story and I wouldn’t mind them winning.
Their HC abandoned them before the Playoffs and now many assistants didn’t even believe they’d make it this far and pressure is on them to also abandon them for LSU.
Pete’s been bringing in special guest coaches from the coaching...
Agree.
Someone posted in another thread I think where we had the lowest YPC running the ball this year since the Ears Whitworth era.
I think we rotated about 8 or more OL this year (which is a strategy I also don’t like).
What is more likely…. That we absolutely whiffed on that many highly...
I wouldn’t be shocked by any of it but I just don’t think it’s truly leaked yet.
I wouldn’t even try to make a 100% accurate guess of what he does.
I think if he got a 1st round grade he’s definitely gone because it would just be too risky to come back and not have an improved season.
Getting...
