FWIW, the Miami mods on 247 told their board that the Miami staff does not expect to land Johnson.

There might not be a bigger buffoon in the history of college QB handing than Steve Spurrier. It looked at times like he was deliberately trying to ruin various QBs' careers on live TV. Him questioning Sarkisian on the subject matter is laughable.

The only thing that should surprise anyone is that Texas continues to waste its time with North Shore. Their mods have remained confident with Calicut for weeks, including after this weekend. They’re not always right, but they do seem to get solid info from the Georgia staff. There’s Redding, Hopkins and Chykie Brown on UT’s side of the ledger and then there’s a ton of Zach Evans, Denver Harris and Shad Banks and 20 others like them on the other side of the ledger. Texas should just move on from NS if that doesn’t tell the tale enough to win recruitments from there. There is an entrenched narrative being told in Galena Park that isn’t worth the time to counter. Maybe Sanchez winds up being more Chaisson and Redding than all of the busts, but the math says probably not. For Calicut, a tweener going to a place where multiple Texas kids have flamed out lately and a culture swirling around the toilet, he has bust written all over him if he chooses Georgia.

That’s more like it. Outstanding.

He was bad down the stretch, but it doesn’t bode well that they’re bringing in Temu Flores to replace him.

He's a slap hitter, but he makes up for that by being slow and playing mediocre defense.

Surgery on what for Spencer? Elbow? Shoulder?

This is what coaches say when they’re in denial about their pitcher needing TJ surgery.

Have any preseason rankings been released? I assume Texas will be a top 5 pick. Is anyone besides maybe Kentucky and Florida supposed to be worth a damn in the SEC?

What does the Edge wish list look like at this point?

Texas is favored in this game. Seems absurd.

Sucks for him. He’s the lone Longhorn on the Commies’ roster, I think.

You think 10-8 is the minimum for Texas to get in? I’ve read that 7-11 might do it given this league, but you follow more closely than I do. Not getting in at 9-9 or even 8-10 seems kind of crazy to me. It was OU. Happy for the win and all but “in the SEC” is a silly trope when it is simply Texas playing OU.

While this just tugs at the heartstrings and all, there are a few problems here: 1) they’re not “kids”. they’re in their 20’s. 2) i have been all for wealth transfer when merited during this NIL transition. when merited. this isn’t that. this is a guy saying “go find more alums to pay my mediocre brother off so he can mooch less off of me. “ Maybe you don’t contribute to NIL so it doesn’t matter to you and you get to cheer for the results of NIL’s largesse anyway. Some of us have been quite involved with NIL and are getting really sick of this end of the nonsense. So yeah, I will be rooting against these two paid professionals in adulthood. You do whatever suits you, and tuck the naive admonishments away for private time.

This update highlights the perversity of the current anarchy in the CFB realm. “Hey, my brother isn’t very good, but you guys need to overpay him as well. Don’t worry about the merit of it, pay up. By the way, don’t look at my performance versus my HS rank, as it’s trash and I’m a one trick pony. Pay me north of $1M to mostly catch a couple of screens each game and maybe score one ST touchdown next season, thanks!” I’m rooting against these guys and I hope Georgia decides to overpay for them. Do not want.
