As far as I can tell, the 25 initial counter limit is still in effect. So that will limit how many transfers a school can take, even if the 85 doesn't

Miller is a great hire at OL Coach. Should recruit well, knows how to teach to BB's system, and has a very good reputation in the profession. IMO OL/DL Coach are just as important as OC/DC. Not crazy about Petersen but imo he nailed it with Miller

Texas had very little talent on D? That really isn't close to being true. Texas had the most talent on D of any Big 12 team

While maybe LL could talk him into transferring, I'd be surprised if Patterson doesnt enter the NFL Draft. He'll likely be one of the top RBs, especially if he runs well at the combine. I do think though that if we go LL, Fickell, or some other current coach, we'll get multiple transfers to...

If they win 6 games and get to a bowl, they should be able to turn this into a solid class since it'll be a relatively small one and I'm sure there will be a few grad transfers. But if we dont make a bowl and Lovie is kept, this class is setting up to be a disappointment, especially after the...

What Big 10 team did UConn beat? They didnt beat anyone other than Rhode Island, and they were probably the worst team in the country last year. Phil Steele has our OOC opponents ranked 103 (E Michigan), 127 (Akron), and 129 (UConn). We should be able to handle all those teams. Showing the...

Tough loss tonight vs MSU. Doesnt hurt the RPI too much since it's a road game, but keeps us from possibly winning a share of the Big Ten title. Hosting dreams aren't dead, but we probably need to win the Big Ten tournament, or at least make the championship game

As OP pointed out, we were last in the Big 10 in KenPom. That means we were objectively bad, even accounting for the schedule. There are also 20 games in Big 10 play vs 18 last year. So just more raw wins is misleading. We were a little better overall in KenPom, I guess that's progress, but its...

Zero chance unless Cal leaves unfortunately. Both Whitney and Brooks will start for UK next year. UK fans say Herro, Keldon J, and Washington all are turning pro, so they'll have plenty of PT available on the wing.

We now have the 8th longest NCAA tourney drought of any high major team. Hard to believe that could happen. Underwood needs to end that drought next year, no excuses

I'd be surprised if we lose to NW. I think Underwood will have the team ready and we're just better. Iowa though, while scuffling, has had our number over the past 2 years. Their combo of shooters and guards/wings who can take their man off the dribble just seems to give us issues

Nebraska is going to be the preseason favorite in the West. Year 2 of Frost/Martinez with a great recruiting class coming in and a lot of guys returning. If we can beat them, we can contend for the division. Big if though obviously.

Isaiah isnt playing WR. That's from his own mouth. He wants to be QB, even if he doesnt win the job this year. Cumby seems likely to play WR, I agree. I love his potential in the slot Beason I'd be surprised if he played offense. We need him at DB, and he needs to learn the position after not...

Ford wasnt going to start for UGA. Dont make stuff up. He was 4th string last year and 2 guys ahead of him return. He also wasnt a 5* on any recruiting service. 4* everywhere. Yes, he's talented, and I'm guessing he'll be pretty good here. But Dorsey had a great freshman year (with atrocious QB...

Ok? He took a Ohio St team picked to finish near the bottom of the Big 10 and had them be come a #5 seed in Year 1. This year was supposed to be a major rebuild for them and they'll probably be in the tourney again. Compare those results with Underwood and I'm not sure where you get "mediocre"...
