RIP cookie monster

RIP. One of my favorites.

 

[MarcoVol]

Has anyone seen solid reports of who we are targeting in the portal?

Heup moves in silence

 

[ConwayFitty]

No.
Every back that has transferred has been a power back.

There’s simply no use for them in this offense.

Tee Hodge 6’1 235
Dee Beckewith 6’4 230
Whithead 6’2 235
Keith 6’1 235
Williams 6’0 215

None of them ever challenged for serious carries.

Meanwhile
Wright 6’0 195 (2,300 career yards)
Sampson 5’11 190 ( 2,500 career yards)
Small 5’11 200 ( 1800 career yards)

It’s pretty obvious Heupel has a type and big power backs aren’t a part of that equation.

Argument would hold more water if any of those backs had performed well at another school

True.

Still there’s a pattern there. It goes back from his time in Missouri - UCF- first 4 years at Tennessee.

To further the point you made. How many successful power backs do you see in college football??

 

[JAllen18]

Anyone of significance?

Too early to tell. There will be some guys where we just refuse to pay what they're asking like Baron last year.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I assume this is for Syracuse?

 

[hardyemt_p]

Heup moves in silence

Yes he does! Rare for his size!

I completely understand being a protective parent. Your children should always be your priority.

She did come in here guns blazing though and looking to fight with posters lol.

No doubt some people handle it better than others. But her intent was good. Social media and message boards sometimes make good intentions look bad.

I figured Boo is going to get paid though. Probably can get paid more somewhere else if money is the only thing he’s looking at. If he stays here I figure it bags him more in the league and he knows the situation and landscape here. You don’t know what kind of BS you’ll run into in other programs.

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Moe, Larry and Curley would be quite a haul..

Kicker, snapper and holder on extra points rotating duties of an injury after the play to give the defense a breather.

Gotta make these nil deals multi year

 

[volKano]

Yeah that looks like Bama to me lol

His daughter will love that one day.

Thots?

 

[cncchris33]

Last couple of receivers we took worked out….try again?


Edit: Also plays baseball, get him Tony V!

Interesting that it refers to him as a WR. He was the #1 TE coming out of HS.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

It’s better this way than allowing decade + dynasties to make the sport boring. Parity will always be the number 1 healthy thing for college football

Yeah keep on thinking that. I don’t see that much parity. And the NIL crap is just out of hand.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Thots?

So we are behind Clemson and UF? That’s great news.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Listed at WR on USC depth chart.

So I’m not sure tbh

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Thots?

Yikes

 

[TrippieRedd]

Thots?

Figured we would be up there.

 

[Blake25p]

Thots?

Thoughts are where are they getting these estimates from?

 

[Weezer]

Thots?

Where are we? I was assured we had a top-notch collective that could compete with anyone.

 

[eVOLve]

Thots?

Thought Spyre was top dog

 

[eVOLve]

Maybe our figures aren’t public knowledge

 

[OmegaVoLL]

Maybe our figures aren’t public knowledge

Which makes me wonder how they're calculating other schools

 

[JCVol00]

Thots?

The fact Oregon isnt on here but Clemson is tells me all I need to know abt the list

 

[TrippieRedd]

So is all of that going to Clemson baseball??

They don’t even take transfers, and you want me to believe they are spending that on the 15th, 15th, and 23rd ranked classes??
