Moderators Jeff Howe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Joey McGuire's press conference is happening right now. "This is the last part of talking season," he said. Quote
Moderators Jeff Howe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 McGuire on Tech's quarterback situation: "If Will Hammond never gets hurt, we don't have to go into the portal." Quote
Moderators Jeff Howe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Interesting note that Texas Tech's roster size is 109, according to McGuire. He said Tech has guys who were grandfathered into the roster cap under a Designated Student-Athlete tag, meaning they don't count against the 105 cap. That's part of the House settlement, which prevents schools from cutting players just to get under the roster cap. Quote
Moderators Jeff Howe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Craig Bohl of the AFCA said college coaches aren't demanding a seat at the head of the table when it comes to making decisions that impact the future of the sport, "but we want a seat at the table," he said. Quote
Moderators Jeff Howe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 On the Preserve College Sports Act, Bohl said the AFCA's main mission has been to get agents on a nationwide registry. 1 Quote
Moderators Jeff Howe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Just now, Jeff Howe said: On the Preserve College Sports Act, Bohl said the AFCA's main mission has been to get agents on a nationwide registry. They want agents registered, they want enforcement, and they want a 5-percent cap. 1 Quote
Moderators Jeff Howe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Some really good stuff from Craig Bohl on the offseason format. He said something that I've thought, which is that the traditional offseason model of spring practice and summer conditioning is outdated. Quote

He said something that I've thought, which is that the traditional offseason model of spring practice and summer conditioning is outdated. Along those lines, Bohl said: "We're not going to work any more, we're just going to work smarter." Based on the feedback he's gotten from coaches, coaches want more access to working with their players and players want to be coached. 2 Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Great question from Jeff and great answer from Bohl on that last question! Quote
Moderators Jeff Howe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 I just want to point out that Mike Elko and I are the only two people in the room wearing long-sleeve Dri-FIT hoodies. Make of that what you will. 5 Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Elko immediately asked about 5 for 5. "I think 5 for 5 is going to affect different programs, at different levels, differently." Then adds that it should enhance some of the developmental players. Quote

Make of that what you will. FWIW, I have a short sleeve dri-fit hoodie on. So I'm close. 1 Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Elko says it's important for the Aggies to be great on the LOS. Notes they had 7 linemen drafted last year. Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Elko says that Texas A&M moving to the SEC was important, but doesn't speak on the Horns move (he was asked). "That's what allowed us to grow our brand and recruit at a level, year in and year out, to be successful." Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 On roster building, Elko explains that they treat HS recruiting as the draft and the portal as free agency. Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 On what he wants from both Reed and offense, development wise: "Consistency and urgency." Says those two things have been the most important piece of the offseason. Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 20 Moderators Posted July 20 Asked about this year's recruiting class and how successful it has been. "I think it's worked out really well for us... It's the first class we were on level footing for. We had no chance in 25, playing catch up in 26 and 27 was the first time. Our message to those kids was we are going to be a developmental program and become a consistent winner." Added that this past draft validated their recruiting message. Quote

Really good way to look at it. I think Elko has the right mindset - question is does A&M let him do what he needs to do? 1 Quote
