  1. with Clark gone, do we kick the tires on a young dev RB for room depth? obviously behind OL/Edge in priority but would love to see us scoop up some youngins cheaply for depth. I get going the NFL model where investing high in 2deep, but youd think thered be some promising young guys who left teams (like we had a lot of) that will be left out of the carousel that would like to come aboard the natty train. Only having 1-2 backups at each position is a little scary with such a long season.. esp since there is no practice squad/trades/street signings
  2. Yeah they were talking some real trash earlier in the year. DAAAA BEARSSS such an epic game
  3. was about to be conflicted cause Im happy for him but thankfully my bears still pulled out the dub!
  4. Did we get Christian Clark signed? Ink dry? (Hopefully)
  5. Rumor is he gave them an ultimatum to match a $1.3M offer he got… which is insane
  6. and 3 first rounders for lacy lol
  7. ill give brown + a first round pick for mark fletcher
  8. whats are the odds he ends up back at wisco????
  9. Livingstone and Barnes did not offer to take pay cuts. they both wanted way more than their current deal and we said no thanks, thinking we could replace their production for less. We will see if they can
  10. Looks like we are bringing in wendell gregory, another young edge who is good
  11. my new plan. cant get too caught up in the weeds
  12. IMO the move would be to take 10 stud freshmen who are likely to play year 1/2 and 10 cheaper dev guys (Jett type) and then supplement with 20 from the portal each year. Still need a core of recruits, but those need to be guys ready to play year 1 or 2 or cheap enough to be the depth. Then if their asks go up and wont see PT, let em walk and replace em. This is pretty much what Oregon does rn I believe Totally sucks, and I hate this new world, but until we even get enforcable contracts (let alone collective bargaining), you have to tighten up the core
  13. yeah especially if the Demond williams situation ends up with him freely being allowed to leave. If you cant enforce a contract the player willingly signed, then man this is going to get ugly real fast
  14. I'd have to imagine a lot of these guys seeking way more money then they are worth will start to have their asking prices come down over time. The big name people who can demand whatever are setting the market, and the depth pieces will then fall in line behind. for every bo barnes that we have, there is a bo barnes from another team who will realize he wont get that money and sign for what we think is reasonable over time.
  15. yeah I always wondered about the crazy numbers for some of the recruits. Like why pay the 1.5M for a #1 at a position who wont see the field that year... It should be like okay you get 100k year one, then 1M once you start type of thing.. so yeah if its just paying them a ton to get them in the door, that sets the floor of their pay. so if they dont immediately start or are ready to be a top guy year two, its not a good deal for the school to pay so much to have someone sit. Somethings gotta change, this new world is kinda terrible
  16. Did yall get blasters or the hobby box? i got 2 blasters and one hobby but wondering if I should've gone all hobby..
  17. if he did sign for the same amount as what we offered, which is what OTF is saying they are hearing at this point, then all these people whining that we let him and that he bleeds orange are just wrong. That's why the immediate jumping to conclusions about very small bits of news are getting extremely tiring. Point is, there are no key targets on our board that we have brought in that have signed elsewhere to this point. Its one thing to feel good or bad about the bits of info we do get, but tying them into a certain conclusion that something is definitely one way or the other is just unnecessary to this point. Why can't we just be somewhere in the middle until things are actually set in stone?
  18. Man did he get that buccal fat removal? Face is looking hollow
  19. I read somewhere that the issue with Woodyard was grades/Academics. Is that the case?
  20. "The Manning family should fork out a bag to protect him" Actually on second thought, giving the Michigan guys a bag from them could be almost as valuable as insurance.
  21. Dude went to the high school next to me. Was a Lax 5 star recruit and at one point committed to Army (iirc? one of the service academies). then he went to a boarding school Jr/Sr year and bulked up and swapped to football. Super athletic kid and huge
