Silly question: some of these recruitment commitments happen insanely quick…how are we checking their grades for academic standards that fast? Like, is that not the problem it used to be now that we’re openly paying them?

Another example of why you need the right kicker in the Ravens game.
That lateral agility is insane. Big want

The second best kicker in the NFL also missed the Steelers point after attempt 5 minutes earlier.
One kicker was not going to sleep at night regardless — honestly a sad situation looking from a neutral perspective.
Absolutely. But it just further demonstrates how incredibly critical the position is.
I like the pickup of Houser. High floor, high ceiling player. That'll work and I'd like to pick up his TE as well.
One I'm really intrigued with is Simpson from Miami. If Illinois can get him and pair him with McColloum, that is serious disruptive ability from the interior of the line. Still like to see where they go with EDGE, etc. (Have to check Jones and others out).
Very good start, now let's see them continue to build.

I'm thrilled with Houser. I think he's a great talent, and Barry has shown he can squeeze more juice out of these types of guys.
ECU just hired him https://247sports.com/college/east-...n-hired-as-new-running-backs-coach-269243534/
Doesn’t mean we can’t get Raphael, but it would be nice to get our RB coach in place
Really, Luke threw 5 interceptions in one game. How did that end up working out for us. Guys not even on campus yet and we are bashing him. Gimme a break.
Is it really though? If it is $2M or $3M or $5M, it is the job of BB and staff to know the market and what we need. Knowing that this kid cost north of $2M, how good would you feel about us going for someone who was at $1M? QB is not where I want the staff skimping.

Yeah I’m a bit curious too how he stacks up against say LA. Where does he sit between 0 and 1 Lukes? 0.68, 0.79x etc.?

Nah man.... Luke is too good for that.
He also has no eligibility so why would he be jealous lol

One year of eligibility?
Agree, we need a good back up for Carson.

Does this mean we are going to do the same Rent a QB next season in 27?
