Sure, but you earn that no matter who is in the room with you. To expect to be given the #1 designation but not have anyone brought in to challenge you is a fantasy.

Are yall really asking that question still????

This surprises you?

Seems like a huge risk to put all of our eggs in basket in the hopes that 1 player will enter. If he doesn’t enter then what?

In my analytics, Pendleton grades as pretty much exactly average for a FBS IOL, right around Jackson Lampley. That said, and before the pitchforks come out, he was only a RS-FR last year. Out of all freshmen + rs-freshmen he grades out at #5 in the country, and in the 96th percentile going back to 2015. Doesn't look like the immediate impact guy Pregnon would've been (top 25 IOL nationally), but there's a lot of potential here.

Not as good as Thompson or Pregnon, but he will be alright.

Now, can we get information about who the splash guy is/was

Not sure we’ll get that information unfortunately

Would’ve rather us landing a “splash” player was never mentioned

 

[rockytop25]

Interest in Sam Pendleton, ND OL. AP has confirmed.

I’d predict this one could move fast.

True but he can roll at both center and guard. I'll take it.

Move fast for us? Or just in general?

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

It’s Tate.

Don’t think they ever said it was a done deal but it’s Tate.

Again. I commend you fine sir. Some posters are so annoying. They act like children. Maybe we need a kids section for those posters.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Well he has a “Do not contact tag”

And if Eric is saying that, I’m assuming it’s for us.

Then put my post on ignore if you don’t like seeing them.

I honestly can’t believe you’re that stupid…it is not hard. Click on my profile and click ignore.

Maybe you’re the one that belongs in the kids section if you can’t quite figure that out after being on here 11 years.

Bum.

 

[Carp]

Well, that’s great. Didn’t get to see it from him.

He was mostly a backup behind Rocco. He did start a few games this season, like I said, he’s alright.

At least the very least, he is high quality depth. But he should be in line for the starting role with his experience.

You’re probably right,, “UT don’t contact Me “

!

He’s probably heard we’re offering pennies for NIL

Nah I went back and watched him play. He’s actually pretty solid

I am hearing better competition low side depth piece with high upside.

For TN

If he can really play at guard or center I'm sure there will be a big enough freshman -> sophomore jump that he'll start most games. Really excited about this one.

Agreed.
RFR, started 7 games at ND, can play G or C.
Definitely a take.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

When I saw "C/OG" and multiple years....I was completely sold. This excites me way more than a portal WR.

He gonna be our center?

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

Are yall really asking that question still????

Guys I think it's pretty obvious who it is.........

 

[UTvol1fn]

Guys I think it's pretty obvious who it is.........

It's insanely obvious. Public knowledge at this point........

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

We have other guys who can be, or who are equally as talented to be #1.

All that glitters, is not gold. Or some such.

Jerry Rice?? No. But he is pretty good given that he is a #3WR at OSU ONLY because he is behind two future 1st round draft picks and overshadowed. And he will be as long as Jeremiah Smith is there. As far as the SEC, he didn't do too bad against Texas or us. So I'm pretty sure he would be just fine in the SEC. And even as a #3 the guy, Tate still had 50+ catches for 700+ yards and 4TDs. That is by far #1 stats compared to our WRs. So yeah, I'd say he would do pretty good here. And remember this kid is just a true Sophomore. Could definitely improve a lot as well over the next couple years if he decides to stay that long. But I'd be willing to bet he gets taken in the 1st round of the NFL draft whenever he chooses to enter. Kid is a stud and does all the dirty work too. Even Jeremiah Smith has quoted that he looks up to Tate and tries to copy a lot of his game because of how smooth of a route runner Carnell is. Idc what anyone says, if we are able to get him, its a definite no brainer.
