It’s not a whiff if the guy never showed any interest. The kid obviously wanted nothing to do with the university so how is it the coaches fault, if the kid refused to even visit or talk to the collective? Thats not what a whiff is

Why did he never want anything to do with us though? If it’s bc that position has underproduced and there’s rumors that Pope is hated, that’s not a good thing and it’s not a place some kids want to be if they have options.

 

[WesTnVol]

Wow……he’ll end up at Hutchinson CC.

Perfect example of why I don’t get upset with insider tips that don’t pan out. The kids don’t even know

How TF did Coach Walden get this dude?

I’m guessing his options weren’t that great. He’s not any good.

What if it’s not for that reason at all?

Offered to share his meth?

Obviously……

All the deal with Pope could be entirely BS. Our social media does seem to make mountains out of mole hills moreso than any other major program.

The way that's going, poor kid will be a distant football memory in 3 years.

? All I’m saying is nobody is gonna tell you who we are trying to get to enter the portal when they are not yet in the portal. Doesn’t mean they’ll actually enter.

And who cares what other teams had to do to reach the playoffs. We were there this year doing it Heup’s way.

We lost by 25 in a game that was never really close and Dylan Sampson is gone. There is no one on the roster to replace him

I bet the offense still rushes for the same amount of yards they've had every year that Heupel has been here.

yikes

 

[Jimmy Football]

Better than Bama.

 

[vol94]

And AP said we were gonna be “big spenders in January.”

Did he say which sport? .

The lack of a vertical passing game may be convene for wide receivers in the portal. It’s obvious that Branch wasn’t interested in TN, esp since his handlers wouldn’t talk money with TN nor commit to a visit.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

yikes

I am a bit disappointed for him.. I thought he could nd should have gone to a better program.

 

[Bollweevil]

Squirrel just moved 2 hours further from home to play at FSU.

 

[ForMyLosses]

...and bringing in 26 HS players for this class.

you’re acting life this team plays freshmen

Not gonna feel too bad about losing like that after seeing what they did to the #1 team in the country.

Personally I would say it’s overzealous to think we could win the NC next season as well. We are in the building phase.

And you shouldn’t expect to replace DSamp. That’s not a normal RB year we just experienced. We’ll likely return to a committed approach and be very productive in the run game once again.

It's gotta make you feel special when a 2-10 team comes after you.

 

[Vol423]

Clearly winning wasn't a priority.

 

[MarcoVol]

They absolutely do.

And now we may see more of it. That’s what everyone wanted, right? To play the young guys.

Lol I was just thinking the same thing. So much for that narrative.

He’s got a kid @ home. Prob took the most money he could get. Hard to blame him.

Pretty certain there was at least a talk.
