I told my friend that doesn’t make sense either but he said a lot of freshman O-Line don’t want to play that early on for a weak O-Line and I countered it gives exposure to the league, but it must be something that recruits are saying that I’m not.

This is kind of random and irrelevant, but talking to my friend who says Kevo Wesley was a lock until Butkus left, not gonna go here anymore. My friend is also an O-Line recruit and says most O-Line kids are afraid to go here because of the lack of depth on the O-Line.

If Addison Patterson reclassifies and comes here I'll be ecstatic but to have Kip,AG, Tevian, and Damonte all competing for time behind Trent/open SF spot on the wing already means one of them will probably lead leaving us with an open scholly still.

Am I the only one who likes Matt Fink better than Tommy Stevens? I think Tommy is the superior player, but Fink makes more sense for our offense.

I'm banking on the fact that we land Holyfield But a starting lineup of Ayo, Trent, Tevian, Holyfield, Giorgi with Feliz taking the remaining minutes from the guards and Kofi the first big man off the bench would be a solid 7. Add in Damonte, AG, Kipper, and Samba to round out the minutes and...

I just saw Holyfield shot 41% from 3 last season. Is there a chance if we get him he plays some 3? Or could it maybe be him at the 4 so Giorgi could keep playing the starting 5? Either way if we add a piece like him we could potentially have 6 guys (Ayo, Trent, Giorgi, Feliz, Kofi, Holyfield)...

Kofi doesn't need to average 15 pts a game to be a success for us. His defensive presence alone with his ginormous frame will help make up for the liabilities Giorgi has on defense, and vise versa for Giorgi and Kofi on offense. His sheer size should enable him to grab a ton of boards, take up...

I quickly typed up a depth chart after viewing the spring game, and factoring in the transfers, and incoming freshman. Interesting to think as many as 5 transfers (6 if Tate comes) could start for us next year. Biggest strengths are the ridiculous amount of talent and versatility at running...

Trevon Sidney transfers to Illinois.

If we get Sidney would we you guys be content with the receiving corps? I feel like Smalling, Brisett, Sidney would be a solid starting unit to compete in the BIG, but a lot of that is unknown, and if one goes down I’m hard pressed to find another guy who I could trust to catch passes (Davis has...

Sorry was not supposed to be a jab at Ward as he worked his butt off, but Bellamy has already shown more product in way less time

I wish all the best for Ward, but Bellamy has already out recruited him in his 3 months on campus compared to Thad's 3 years. Both had similar areas of recruiting and positions, and we never got a Chicago player as good as Jadon Thompson, nor a RB as good as Reggie (Ik that was Cory) plus he was...

This kid would automatically be the best wide receiver on the team

JJ is going to go to Michigan or Notre Dame.

Penn State started 0-10, and they may end up avoiding Wednesday. That’s incredible.
