For what it’s worth, a close friend texted it’s a done deal, barring board disapproval

I heard 2nd hand that it is one of two people. I haven't looked at the thread, but I think the names are out there. Monken or Leipold. I haven't read this thread, and a more credible insider probably said who it is. But figured id pass something along

I think he wants to be on tHe offensive side

the hope is to get some games in before everything goes to !!!!. Schools are under pressure to have in person classes, that will work until covid spread is affecting the faculty. I’m guessing, in a state like Texas by October. The Midwest college towns are in better shape, they are hoping to...

what I’ve read (not heard) is that Ricky has had some considerations before the pandemic and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he left the program. At this point, most insiders are expecting him to leave.

I don't think this happens/ He may not qualify for a waiver, which means, he sits a year, in that scenario Ricky is gone. I haven't heard anything abut Ricky Smalling leaving the team. I don't imagine there is a reason for the starting receiver to leave in his senior year

Ok, now that we have a shortened season, what record would be enough?

It shouldn't be. Minnesota has been on a different level than us for the entire century

yes, and it’s always a resource question. we start conversations with a lot of players. Many aren’t interested. That’s one point in why we shifted toward Georgia and Florida, they appreciate Lovie. We also made a mistake with ESL, in my opinion. I think Macon was worth waiting for, which would...

The tough thing is that if they are able to contribute, by their last year, they should be contending to be starters. The measurables are good enough to warrant starting. There are some projects, but I think it is different than projects in the past that didn’t have the measurables. Many of...

I appreciate all the information. There’s clearly a big gap in perceptions. I'm disappointed about Hawthorne not being hired, but that’s just my personal disappointment. I would love to habe him in Champaign and think he would boost recruiting substantially

Well, I think that is ridiculous. I kept hearing Hawthorne was coming, but It never happened
