It won’t matter; the narrative will change to “the future of football!” And how exciting these 52-48 games are. When it was happening in the B12 it was a gimmick though.
You already saw it last year; how many times did you hear Burrow is a system qb? Yet that’s all anybody could say about Mahomes or (to a lesser extent) Murray who are both better than Burrow.
I’m gonna go wash my mouth out now for saying something nice about that Sooner fuck.
All the bitching about Oyetade would make sense if we were some kind of outlier in not offering, but most teams have passed. His 247 shows 6 P5 offers the best of which is probably Az St or Virginia.
I haven’t personally watched his Hudl, but seems to be some star-gazing after 247 gave him a large bump.
Hilariously they took scrub big bro to get this kid and (per the twitters) he just got a basketball offer from Baylor.
Even as someone who loves football, I’d have to look hard at playing basketball in college instead if I got the chance. Even if you think you don’t have NBA potential, there’s an established precedent of CBB > NFL for TEs.
So these penalties are simultaneously -
(a) No big deal, won’t affect recruiting or the season
and
(b) An evil conspiracy by the NCAA/FSU/tee-yew coalition to keep aggy from ascending to their rightful place as kings of CFB.
Nice.
They need to work to help these guys understand this. This is an ongoing process and there is a precedent in place so while it might taken longer than any of us like, it’s the proper way to go about things. Instead it sounds like they told the players “yeah, yeah, we’re working on it. Now get back to practice.” I can understand their skepticism.
Lol well yeah, his top 3 were 2 schools that wouldn’t take his commitment and the school he just decommitted from so don’t think anyone is too surprised.
Kid shows some really nice hands and a willingness to play with some physicality blocking - though its impossible to tell if he plays with that temperament all the time, which is a hell of a lot more important than being able to do it once in a while.
Of all the years this is probably the one where the “rankings don’t matter” stuff is true (I think we all know these services rely too much on camps). That said, that offer list doesn’t inspire much confidence. Looking back at some of Coleman’s recruits at K state, he didn’t show some innate ability to uncover hidden gems.. he did get NFL guys in Byron Pringle (twice actually, once while at Youngstown St then again after he went JUCO) and Dalton Schoen, but he was a walk on.
Don’t mean this as an indictment of Casey, but what I really don’t get is our staff’s insistence on signing big, slow receivers when rule changes in recent years clearly favor faster, quicker guys as less physicality is allowed. Having one of those guys is fine but we seem to sign at least one a class while lacking many speed guys on the outside.
Putting on my satya hat real quick - why the fuck is LSU uncovering diamonds in the rough in our hone state, especially at a position that’s very weak compared to years past??
It’s hilarious that they’re bitching about this as it relates to Bru when they went down the exact same way - LOI at different school, then enrolled somewhere else.
Also why are these dorks still so frothy about Bru? We totally ended up being the butt of that joke, they should be delighted by the way his saga happened.
I’m really excited to see what Washington can do - think he’s gonna be a stud. Honestly if Black coming here takes away from either of him or Eagles playing not sure I love the move. If he can beat those guys out on merit that probably bodes well for us, hopefully this staff is better at making that call than years past (see: Epps, Malcolm).
Seems like there’s one of these every year anymore. Crazy to think how many kids this happens to that we don’t hear about because they’re not football stars. RIP
Lol - Maybe if the dude didn’t jump to the NFL after one solid year he would’ve been a bit more polished coming out.
Also had all of 6 tackles through 6 games last year so doesn’t look like NFL is developing him real well either.
Kid is mega-douche. He’ll make a perfect Sooner.
Some posters on here were suggesting he’d get processed by Bama, but think that was more conjecture than anything concrete. Think I read he had an injury last year.
What he earned for averaging more yards per rush and catch?
Dont get me wrong, I love Rojo - probably my favorite player on last years team alongside Dev - but both backs had games where they looked good and others where they looked like shit. Weirdly it seemed like they alternated games.
The real question should be what did Sam do to warrant leading the team in carries?
