2 more spots open up today. It makes me wonder if we are going to be very active in the portal still or save the spot for the next year?
I have no inside info but I would think we would be looking to backfill the DL spot.2 more spots open up today. It makes me wonder if we are going to be very active in the portal still or save the spot for the next year?
Depends on who we can get of course. I don’t see Coach B holding slots tho if he finds guys he thinks can help now.2 more spots open up today. It makes me wonder if we are going to be very active in the portal still or save the spot for the next year?
MSU stacked the box or cheated in. They knew we would not try to spread the field as we did not have a Consistent deep weapon. Next year will have us with more options at WR who will stretch the field and a QB who can sling it. The running game will be fine.
Plans to join Walters?
100% What I would do, and if I had a kid, 100% what I'd be telling them to do too.If you're not going to play on Sunday it seems like grabbing your degree and starting a new adventure at another school is an enticing opportunity.
Had a lot of hype coming in but was passed by several guys. Best of luck.Plans to join Walters?
Maybe this is the reason for the late offer to the DL recruit warren? Just speculating here, if intentions were known by the .I have no inside info but I would think we would be looking to backfill the DL spot.
I’d say that offer had much more to do with the fact that we had missed on every DL prospects except edge guys.Maybe this is the reason for the late offer to the DL recruit warren? Just speculating here, if intentions were known by the .
And now Portal Season is upon us. Gird your loins.
I like what I saw in Love and a healthy McCray should be more like he was as a freshman. That said I would hope we add someone that is more of a three down back. Love may be that to some degree but I'd be fine if we added another proven transfer at RB. With the departure of Brown that should be more of a possibility.I sound like I’m in the minority, but I saw a nice jump from Love from last year to this year. Excited what he could bring to the table again next year.
As for McCray, was he never fully recovered from the injury early on? Or does he just need to find his confidence again? A full offseason should help either way.
Without Brown at RB I wonder if we throw it around quite a bit more. Isiah played awesome vs Miss St and imo would be our #1 explosive offensive weapon. If he will see the ball like he did in that game then I am excited. If we are adding great additions along with bringing some up that exciting. While we may not be tossing it around like we did under Mike White, these additions can only lead to more exciting football. Plus I am excited about our highly toughed incoming QB. Dart is very talented and other SEC top back up QBs have done well elsewhere. Hopefully ours will too.IW, Bryant and Washington combined for 1,286 yards. That's not anything to scoff at. We have a bigger issue at RB than WR.
Loin girding 101?
It's pretty embarrassing to learn I've been doing this incorrectly my entire life.

Dude, I did not say we wouldn't run. I do know Bret is a historically running first. However football is more and more about passing too. I am confident we will be a more of a passing team without Brown and more talented WRs. That doesn't not mean we won't run often and likely more than most...I'll let you talk to Bret on that one.
Remember, Altmyer has only appeared in 8 games, and one of the best things for an inexperienced QB is a good running game.
Let's just wish the best for him at the AcademyToo bad we lost Hightower, I thought he was very effective and wish we threw the ball to him more this season.
Brandon Peters and Isaiah Williams were both ranked higher than AltmyerNo, I do not but I know Lane Kiffin recruits very talented QBs and develops them. Out of high school he is likely higher than anyone in our roster or any QB we have had in a long time.
I think those QB's(adding Joe Burrow) are going to be the exception. Not saying Altmyer won't get a fair chance to sling it, but all I really want from him is some DeVito style consistency, with the expectation that 2024 possibly 2025 is where he will have his best ball.Dude, I did not say we wouldn't run.

Also Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield and others touted QBs didn't play so they left and did awesome. Do expect that that yet? No, I do not but I know Lane Kiffin recruits very talented QBs and develops them. Out of high school he is likely higher than anyone in our roster or any QB we have had in a long time. So yes I am optimistic! I do think we will throw much more next season.
"" Chazz the Hun ".........Better late than never to learn the proper way to adjust the junk for happiness in life ......carry on bro and good girding ............It's pretty embarrassing to learn I've been doing this incorrectly my entire life.
I want that or more from Luke next season. Dart was rated 69 in 247 and is very good.I think those QB's(adding Joe Burrow) are going to be the exception.

But a lot of it really depends on Lunney continuing to build consistency as a play caller.
It’s possible, though would he be itching to join a coach that had something to say about him not playing much this year?Plans to join Walters?
South farms during the school year and Stinky Stadium during the summer. Ah, the memories of growing up in small town central Illinois.Uh yes! I miss the south farms.
