He won't come here, because of the guys recruited and already in the QB room... but I'd for sure be calling Darian Mensah from Tulane about coming to the hill to compete for a shot.

 

[Adam2014]

What's up with that?

Idk, but every year we play in this every team shoots like ****. My luck they will hit everything they look at this year because I took the under.

 

[Orange.]

re-recruit him.... I think we lost him because the state of Missori had some law at the time that Tennessee didn't.

Would be cool to add him

Drinky got the MO legislature to pass a law saying that an in-state recruit could start getting NIL while still in high school from an in-state college, iirc.

I also heard that he wants his girlfriend to be appointed to be a special full time liaison to manage the space under his desk.

It would literally be the most amazing thing ever if he was hired at UNC and his girlfriend joined a sorority.

Also as of now on 247

only Jordan Matthews is officially in the portal.

on3 as of now shows

Kaleb Webb
Khalifa Keith
Vysen Lang
Jalen Smith
Jordan Matthews

Wonder if some of the on3 guys aren't actually officially in yet or if 247 is just behind in updating?

An interesting note I came across on Mensah.

There are three primary factors outside the QB's control that affect performance the most:
1. SOS
2. Supporting Cast (OL and WR help)
3. Usage. Guys in run-heavy offenses benefit a ton from stacked boxes, play-action, etc. and will usually put up significantly better YPA / AYPA / Rating / etc.

Mensah had a <10th percentile SOS, >90th percentile supporting cast, and >90th percentile usage boost. No one in all of FBS (and I believe only Tommy Mellott at Montana State) was helped more from his surrounding context this year. He's still a solid QB, but he's a lot closer to average than his numbers make him look imo.

Oregon really did rake

A shot at backup QB?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Hard to find anyone that is actually picking us

A very good sign!

Their o-line problems do nottt bode well for them, I don't think that fact is respected enough.

If they can't block us they're screwed.

 

[KB5252]

That's correct. Drinky got the MO legislature to pass a law saying that an in-state recruit could start getting NIL while still in high school from an in-state college, irrc.

Do they have to be 18 to receive these benefits?

If not somebody should remind them any contracts they enter into aren't binding.

I will have to watch from home..

If all the Vols on Earth sing Rocky Top at the same time, the Earth will quake at our power.
I live in Texas and the osu people will hear me.

Option two, go to the game. Encourage an osu “fan” to give you their tickets.

It’s only right.

Going with a QB who quit on his team seems like a great idea for FSU.

Picked this up last night after a phone call.. I also got a bottle of EH single barrel. Had a bunch of stuff but I didn't go for some of it. He had:

Weller Full Proof
Elmer T Lee
Blanton’s straight from the barrel
Blanton’s gold

Pretty good bottle, I’ve had a couple and with any single barrel some are better than others.

I’ve come to the conclusion tho that a bunch of the hyped up allocated bottles are more hype than good. Just my opinion of course, but some I just don’t even pay attention to anymore

 

[DD4ME]

Bros. I think Bill is about to be like Saban to the Dolphins.

 

[Vols410]

Wish more of these were done per drive instead of per-snap.

A team that hits a 80-yard bomb, then goes 3-out for the next 4 drives gets a rating of 0.53

Back to back, 15-play touchdown drives would get you a rating of 0.47

I agree. The blantons are extremely overrated. Bowman Bros are just as good, IMO. I do like the Eagle Rare, and EH Taylor stuff. The Elmer T Lee is just more expensive Blanton’s. Buffalo Trace is just younger Eagle Rare.

How does Nico stack up on the metrics you were citing a second ago? We have good run game and decent supporting cast.

 

[SGMVols]

Would’ve been a blockbuster hire for UNC…maybe 5 years ago.

I think he’s just going to stay long enough to use his name to get talent and then it’s out the door for the next guy.
