Recruiting Football Talk VIII

We have too many other needs.

Bra mentioned another offensive tackle in porthole. Def need a DT.
From things I've read and heard, WR and DT are considered definite needs. OL and Secondary are also possible needs. Secondary because of the McCoy injury.

And now, QB is on the list.

Of course, we're at a point where we have to lose bodies to add bodies. The fat will have to be trimmed.
 
If you can get Avery out of KSU, you absolutely do it. His game is very Hendon like. Going to be a tough pull though. Hit him with your best offer and maybe he bites. Keep Luke, who I think is still an upgrade from Nico, especially from the mental side, as a back up plan. Either way, you are golden for 2025 season. This isn’t going to drag out, once portal opens it will end quickly. 😁
 
Happy Sunday

April 13, 2025: Be bold and strong. Resolutely leave the past behind. Do it on purpose, and set your heart on what you can do to move on. Nothing will change the mistakes that you have made. Be finished with regret and dread. Ask for and receive God's forgiveness. The Lord will be with you in your new beginning. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Coming out of Spring practice, other than QB, what do you see as team needs?

Roger that.

Leaders are leaders. It was always a question in my mind. Mostly bc Hubbs said it like every other week. Will 'Knee-coup' become that guy? Will 'knee-coup' be that leader?

And we were still talking about it here in Spring sesh. Ya know, diddy micro managing from 2000 miles away isnt leading.

So glad to turn the page.

WRs are questionable, not going to lie, but said same about DBs before last season. I think DL could use a little more depth, but that’s luxury. The safety spot has to be better, if there was a stud out there, I would be all over that. I’m actually pretty excited about OL. I like the new line as it’s configured.
 
Agreed is a QB who is essentially a 6 month rental worth 4 million? The collective isn’t in this to lose money and I doubt it could recoup its investment is 6 months so I find it unlikely they make that type investment.
4 is misleading the opportunity cost at 4 is 1.5. Nico was getting 2.5 so status quo is 2.5. If we go to 4 our added expense is really 1.5 and if you get a playoff run vs 8 wins then yes in ticket sales alone and fan donations it is worth it. Jmo imo

How did we swing and Amish on so many players in recruiting? Fall porthole?

I was in Canada last year for work, I wish I knew. I wasn’t around the facilities. I think the new truth in recruiting is, someone will always pay more. Either be prepared to counter quickly, or move on, and have contingency plan. Some of these “agents” are not very ethical.
