Wingo is what I would consider a 5 star talent that still needs development like every other 5 star WR.  Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams are Julio Jones/AJ Green level talent in the sense that those guys are generational talents that are better than everyone else at the college level day 1.  Bobby keeps saying Wingo is Roy Williams and he has said multiple times that he wouldn’t trade Wingo for Smith lmao.  Those comments did not age well through the season with regards to comparing him to Smith.  Wingo is a badass that will be a high round pick and fits our scheme very well.  I would not compare him to Smith and Williams, those guys guys aren’t human.  Gerry says DK Moore is in that category but we will see.  

Yeah, saying you wouldn't trade Wingo for Smith is next level dumb. He and Williams are aliens. I think Wingo will break out next season, so I'm not too worried. I hope he ends up being a Roy/DK clone. 

I think Bobby/Gerry also said that Lockett would be the first to see the field over Ffrench due to catch radius, but I'm not so sure about that. Ffrench's tape is sick, and his speed kills. I know Lockett is fast, but he looks like he's in slow motion compared to Ffrench. Both will be studs in time. 

BTW, thank you fot answering my question. Pos rep

    Moore’s camp has told Bobby Burton that Trey Moore is returning to Texas. Nothing set in stone, but that would be a big deal, IMO.

The next contested catch I see Wingo make will be the first. I don’t think he is in the same class as Smith/Williams but he has the potential to be really good regardless. And I think he’ll look a lot better next year.

This is exactly where I'm at. He's had balls thrown his way he could havr made spectacular catches, but his contested balls this season is bad. He has a lot to work on. Next season I hope he breaks out. 

Appreciate you answering my question. Pos rep

Why is it a surprise Ohio State has strong NIL? They rank 41 academically while we’re at 30, have a huge alumni base, have always been good, were running bags during bag game era(probably still do at times). Like idk why people are surprised?

I'm honestly stunned by that ranking, as I've always thought of them as the Arizona State of the Midwest academically. Like I said, a big part of it is probably colored by my visit there in 2005, when it was filled with straight up belligerent trailer park trash.  The people I saw would have struggled at ACC.  Throw in the fact I just never ran into them in my career and I just never thought of them as being all that bright.  Hell, all the bright Ohioans I met went to Miami of Ohio.

Anyway, thanks everyone for the clarification.  Learned something new.

In recent years both tOSU and ASU have poured money and resources into the academic side of things.  I'm not familiar enough with the tOSU to elabortate, but ASU now has one of the highest-ranked Communications Colleges in the nation and has also invested heavily in the sciences.

Very first one.
 

You have to acknowledge, watching these highlights, Wingo has a problem of getting too wide open and thus not making enough contested catches.

Not sure if this goes in Transfer Portal or OU thread. I'm putting it in both for maximum laughs.
 

 

PLEASE sign him, this dude fucking sucks. He also spits in the face of all of those posts where they talk about Elko building the right type of culture etc.

I'm really trying to understand what aggy is doing at WR.

They seem like they want to stack a bunch of wide receivers that have done little to nothing at this level. I'm kind of convinced that Wiggins is a complete moron.

Last year they grabbed productive MAC and other mid major guys. That didn't work so they are going to try to take unproductive highly ranked former high school stars and unproductive players from SEC and large schools in the SE footprint with hopes that that will work.

The 2024-25 College Football Playoff field features pairings with some numerical disparities, like ... the endowment of the University of Texas ($20 billion) compared to Clemson ($1 billion).

In the fiscal year that ended 31 august 2024, UT System endowments grew from $52.2 billion to $55.5 billion, an increase of $3.3 billion, and total assets managed by UTIMCO grew by $4.9 billion to end the year at $70.1 billion.

(sidebar: this link shows last year's numbers: https://www.statista.com/statistics/221147/the-20-richest-colleges-in-the-us/

"UT" $45B

aggy $19.3B

except the only way aggy can claim that number is if they claim 1/3rd of UTIMCO's total assets under management is "their endowment", which is exactly what they do

the aggy SEF (system endowment fund), the money they actually own that is theirs, is $1.6B)

If you can't make it work with your recruits, or develop your recruits, or with dudes who were successful at lower levels, you might as well try talented recruits who failed elsewhere and juco dudes.

It’s some sort of anomaly in the realm of social physics. How can the aggies always be, at the same time, so predictable and also so stunning. We know it’s coming, and it is still amazing. 

They immediately abandoned the whole notion of correcting their culture issues when it became clear that going for mediocre character guys wasn’t going to yield 1+1=3 results. More like 1+1=1.25 results. 

So fuck that, let’s load up on as many shitheads and big time busts as we can, and convince ourselves that we, and we aggies alone, can fix each and every one of them. Farmers fight!!

Holy shit. The College Station culture of adulation ahead of achievement is a poison for athletes arriving there who already believe their own hype. 

We know how this works all too well. It’s been a problem many times in many sports at Texas. Thank goodness it isn’t one now, really with any program. All anyone has to do is look east by an hour and half to be reminded of how cancerous that kind of shit can be.

@closetojumping so is  Elko signing the pre-Madonna headcases because he and/or Klein think they're needed to generate offense, or are the money guys stepping in already & saying "we'll bring you the studs, it's your job to make 'em fit and bring us the wins"?

Maybe they are all secretly elite downfield blockers that will allow them to unleash Mini Vince*

It’s all driven by the staff, for sure. 

Well, ain’t this a fuckin bitch! Our pretty decent rb Justice Haynes entered the portal a few days ago and today announced he will be on Michigan’s team when we play then on New Year’s Eve in the bridesmaid bowl.  Sonuvabeeotch. I blame OU.  Shit.

last year, didn’t they get a bunch of portal guys who ended up leaving after the spring game? These are just tryouts. Elko is a genius.

I was not a math major, but 85-56 = 29.  29 folks OUT.  Checks math again.  29.

Some are protecting draft stock (like Stutsman and similar...)

Others are transfers or do not want to be owned by Navy.

Nope, already a three-year player, okay thanks guys.

Would it be smarter for him to come back another year under a high-powered offensive team and prove that last year wasn't a fluke?

It’s always funny when these guys who shit talked UT fail.  Hello, Adrian Peterson, you’re needed on line one!

It feels like the quality in the portal isn’t quite what we’ve seen the last few years at a similar point in the calendar. A lot of factors in play with the expanded playoff and revenue sharing coming up, but I think I personally underestimated this being one of the quietest coaching carousels in a while. Not as many head coaches getting fired. especially P4 guys, which usually is tied with player movement.

On the flip side it could set up for a wild 2025 portal cycle with how many programs are entering the season with coaches on the hot seat.

Adrian Peterson, renowned bust

Watching that video of Arch to Wingo was delicious. Those two will make an incredible combo. Arch's deep ball is next level. He's going to have fun throwing to Wingo, Moore, Lockett, Ffrench, and I'll even say Butler. Apparently Butler is a baller. The staff (according to Bobby) loves the kid.
