Have they fixed that god awful field there yet?

Not 2026-7 related but could be relevant for future

Dianna Rossini, Connor Stallions, and Jordan Hudson

It doesn't look like we have really put much NIL force into the recruiting pool yet this year. I can't imagine we would lose an NIL battle to Florida for a WR. LSU is the one that is scary but I doubt we would lose an NIL battle there.. if we were to somehow you better believe Sales would be on line #1 with a new offer.

My issue with this format is that the sec will have a disadvantage given the depth of the conference. If Ohio st, Michigan and or Oregon have 1 loss because they have beaten up the poor sisters half of the conference they could theoretically throw out the second team to scrimmage a last game to get into the playoffs. Heck they could still have a first round bye if one was undefeated going into the last game and just mail in the last one. Then sec has a much higher chance of lower ranked team upsets and thus much less room to maneuver. Makes it zero incentive to play an early oos game that is difficult. And don’t get me started on notre dame. They would cake wake into the playoffs every year.

Damn his wedding announcement won’t have any space for his bride’s name.

Anti UT bias real. Poor Goodwin having to deal with that

They still have 20 finalists for the elite 11 right?

Luckiest sob is lane freakin kiffin lol

Honestly tech could trot out any jag and win enough games to get to the playoffs with that charmin soft schedule.

Surprised he’s so much higher ranked than Roberts

All good points. I'm just thinking big picture for the season.. what could go wrong. Maybe we lose a guy to injury and we're forced into starting an Atkinson or Cummings before they are really ready. Spence is a good thought.. I just don't know exactly how Boom will deploy him.. hopefully much more of a pash rusher than he was last year. Overall, my personal opinion is that we're in "good" shape with a few great pieces in the room. I'm not saying the sky is falling in the room at all, and I"m not afraid to have the freshmen play early roles.

We won’t run just 2 linebackers on the field all the time. besides cryer who else has experience? If biles or smith are injured there is a huge drop off.

Just a feeling. Look at the breadcrumbs from Gerry as well. I think he's got immense potential.. maybe not "best recruit in years" potential that Justin Wells seems to think.. And in this NIL era, how much are you willing to pay for guys to develop for 2-3 years before playing, and which top end recruits will even accept this? OL is the hardest position to figure out NIL allocation IMHO.

Here's how I'm considering this: QB - Great. Star QB1, feel good about QB2.. Only knock is lack of experience at backup with QB2. RB - Good. Love that Cooper has made strides. Still concerned that over a long SEC season we will lose 1 or 2 backs at times for injury, and then what will happen. Also not sure about ball security issues for the transfers yet. WR - Great. A 2 deep of true talent. Just nothing really concerning. TE - Good. A little surprised we haven't heard more from Mansunas. Not sure if we'll have a reliable pass catching threat yet. OL - Good. 1st line OTs are among best in nation. Backups should be fine. OG still in question, with Baker transitioning, hoping for someone to emerge at fall call at LG but at least we have better options than last year. C is okay, but no experience at backup is a little concerning. DL - Great. Great depth even if we don't have a clear first round talent (maybe). DE - Great. Great depth as well. Only question is who can rush the passer the best if Simmons is not on the field. LB - Good. Biles = stud, Smith = great. Will wait to see on Atkinson, Cryer, and the rest. CB - Good. Would have liked to hear more from Philips in the spring, but should be a good rotation. If injuries set in, who is CB4? S - Questionable. Not having Jonah hurts. Is Jelani, Raptor, and Filsaime enough? Will we need Black here? ST - Questionable. Not sure we have a reliable kicker or punter yet... could be downright concerning if there is not improvement in the fall.

Yeah we ain’t getting Camara either.

Is it waddle?

Interesting names on board still left. York from aggy. Damonic Williams from ou who we were hot after in the portal.

I’d take him all day over drew freakin allar

Clear osu made him a good nil offer. I just recall something about him not being the size that we expected during a visit or something along those lines. Maybe it was just an excuse and we were simply beaten by osu.

Was the staff passing on Klare and taking Endries really due to size? Because the NFL apparently didn’t agree

This. Always got me pumped up for football.

Sweat was traded to the jets

3. I’m Mike Davis and I’m always open!!!!!!

Encouraged is like saying we took a 2 star +++ recruit
