A little off topic, but I think NIL is going to super help us with basketball recruiting. You see guys like Brandon Miller who were basically locks to go pro and sign $500k-$1m contracts now considering doing 1 yr in college.

Darn right Rick Barnes is going, "dude, we can get you the same contract to have the college experience and play in March."

That’s not really fair. Some posters (@Billy Antrim) need complete sentences, cited sources, and colored pictures to understand posts.

Elerbee stated that he felt he had 9 guys he could count on…. Hope he wasn’t just blowing smoke.

I hope so. Very, very thin on experience past the first 5. Harris, Lane, and Akpo have seen very little mop up duty....Davis, Ball, Perry, Crawford, Parker and Robinson have never seen PT in a D1 football game..

That is just how they justify their idiotic rulings…. Just like when they said they had proof that Cam’s dad took money but didn’t punish them Bc they didn’t have proof cam knew…. When did that matter before? The fact was that NC created a class to get athletes eligible…. Allowed other students to cheat as well and the NCAA used that as justification to let them go…. Missouri had nothing to do with the tutor cheating.

The tutor situation at Missouri apparently had some proof that the athletics department caused the tutor to do the coursework, but I understand how it is all semantics

It’s a student athlete issue if only student athletes took the class but those classes were for everybody in the student body not just athletes

I realize and that is the defense they used. I still think it could have been an eligibility issue, thus making it a compliance issue.

There was a thread on their board not too long ago titled “Name your top three most hated programs”. I was surprised that UT was consistently number #2 on most lists behind Clemson. I think it’s ironic how we don’t even think about them and focus on Bama, Florida, and Georgia every year.

I rarely think about them at all. They got spoiled under Spurrier and don't realize that those days are gone and they are never coming back. They hired a guy who has never even called a play, let alone been a head coach. Got news for them, Dabo Swinney is rare, and chances are your guy ain't him

No…. Missouri gave the tutor financial incentive to do a good job….. the tutor stated that it made her feel pressured and caused her to cheat.

This is precisely why running the score up is necessary. You prevent starters getting injured and you get your depth valuable experience.

Used to piss me off about Butch. We had so many games that were closer than they should've been where we'd have to play starters deep into the game OR he would play starters longer than necessary.

Been saying for a while offensive line will be the Achilles Heel of the team. I think linebacker will be the other weak position group.

Depth is the problem. We should have a strong starting five, one swing OT, and maybe 1-2 interior OL who can play. Can't afford injuries. If we stay healthy there they won't hold us back.

Someone in the Other Forum was saying Cooper wasn't an SEC caliber C, going to be the weakest link, too small, etc.

Nobody throughout camo has reported him struggling and his size is comparable to other SEC Cs. Has anyone seen anything about Coop struggling?
