  1. The 2026 OL is a dramatic upgrade over the 22 OL in terms of age, experience, and overall ceiling. Goosby as a fourth year junior should be better than Banks as a true freshman, even as great as Banks was. Goosby is first team all-America level good. Robertson as a fifth year senior is probably a push, maybe a slight downgrade, with Majors as a third year sophomore. Siani is an upgrade over Christian Jones, but it might be close. Baker as a junior is miles beyond Campbell as a true freshman. Sikorski will be older and more experienced than a true freshman Hutson, who was also pretty terrible that year. Honestly, it’s really not even close.
  2. It’s currently a chilly 60 degrees in LA. 😎Stay warm out there!
  3. @Gerry Hamilton taking a look at the monster he’s created, sick of the OL complaints, and abandoning the portal threads forever:
  4. So this is what it’s come to: @Joe Zura turning tricks for a competent guard.
  5. <insert comment from grouchy OTF subscriber asking whether the baseball team has anyone who can play guard>
  6. Big 10 only wants 24 teams because they are so weak outside of their top 3-4. It’s the only way they can get more teams in. Pathetic.
  7. It seemed like they preferred Jordan Church and were trying to bring him in for a visit, but were too late. I had no problem with the swing for the fences strategy, but by the time the portal was almost closed, it should’ve been time to cut their losses and go all-in on a second-tier guard like Church. I think they overplayed their hand. Too focused on landing a big fish and not agile enough in pivoting.
  8. I don’t think it’s fair to paint the whole $1 crew with a wide brush. The frustration that I think some have (and that I had initially) is that OTF started out as a fairly small, tight-knit community with a culture that was generally more easy-going and amiable. For many of us, that’s a big reason we left other sites like IT and OB—to escape the toxic board culture. Almost immediately after the $1 special started, there was an influx of users from those other sites who seemed to embody their toxic cultures. It’s clearly not fair to attribute that to everyone. And you’re completely right that growth is good because, ultimately, this is a business. Many of us are just protective of what we have here. But no reason for us to also not be welcoming and embrace a growing board. So, welcome!
  9. Ball knower
  10. I don’t think Baker moves to LT. He needs all the guard reps he can get. Probably Chatman to Lt
  11. @Gerry Hamilton is currently on a stakeout
  12. No, incorrect. First, PK demonstrated a consistent inability to marry the back and front end. He only had one year at Texas in which his secondary was elite. He also was philosophically not aligned with what Sark wanted, ie an aggressive defense. From Sark’s perspective, Muschamp is an upgrade over PK and better aligned with Sark’s own philosophy. With PK, the bad secondary was a trend, not a one-off. Compare that with Flood—philosophically aligned, consistent improvement through 2024, only one “off” year in 2025, and Sark thinks Flood is the best OL coach available. If any of those variables change, then firing Flood becomes more reasonable.
  13. This is entirely fair. We will never know exactly what transpired to lead us to starting so much youth and inexperience last year and yet doing so with such confidence. But as far as I’m concerned, that’s a collective failure on Sark, Harris, Flood, and the personnel staff. I will say this: if the OL looks like a weakness this year, my tune might change on Flood. One off year after four years of gradual improvement is forgivable. But if turns into a trend, he’s gotta go.
  14. Anyone who thinks that Sark doesn’t ultimately control every single aspect of his program hasn’t been paying attention. If anything, he needs to delegate more. Sark has been very clear that he has the final word on everything from every recruit who is offered to playcalling to NIL strategy. The buck stops with him.
  15. I completely agree. Let Flood coach the tackles and the overall unit. His tackle development is elite. But breaking up the interior and tackles like we do on the DL could pay serious dividends. Also, moving away from the large humans philosophy should really help over the next few years. I do think that Flood needs to revamp his scheme, because Georgia (and others) have figured him out. He needs a better inside zone / power scheme.
