have a wr from penn visiting today. over 2500 yards and 27 td in three seasons.

He didn't make the trip. Signed with Duke instead.

Jesus Christ. I want to go back to the transfer system where we were getting Alabama's DL and LB who weren't good enough to play in Tuscaloosa.

Early returns indicate we're still poors. 

Hopefully Silverfield has a good recipe to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

There's a powerball winner somewhere in Cabot not doing their job.

I'd settle for chicken flavored dog food in year one. 

The way I see it he needs to show marginal improvement this year (think 4-8) and build on that in year two, hopefully with a little more investment.

If it doesn't work at that point, change the revenue share distribution where basketball and baseball get the lion's share.  If we aren't going to spend enough to at least be competitive, why spend anything at all?

aj hill, memphis qb commits.

big kid, and he's a pocket passer.

Surprising. Wasn't overly impressed with him.

[vegashog]

some of our eval skills might need a little work.

it's early but i won't be totally shocked if it ends up being not a complete lack of talent, but a dog shit culture that was the biggest contributor of the suckage.

Or just go ahead and do that now. I believe it was Biddy who said that Miss St is allocating double what we are to baseball.

We are getting kickers in the portal. Bad sign

First we have to have a coaching staff that's almost-but-not-quite up to Alabama's standards. 

That's the end of my darksiderism for the day.  We'll see what the roster looks like going into spring practice.

I enjoy a gloom-and-doom party as much as the next woopigger but I would like to point out that the current starting QB for one of the teams in the Playoff quarterfinals spent the previous 3 years playing for Ferris State, the current SEC Newcomer of the Year and a consensus All-American RB at Misery played for Louisiana Monroe in 2024, and one of the 5 finalists for this year's Butkus Award came to Indiana from JMU.

We will probably hire the same cast of "blue light special", less talented, under-achievers we always do but, hey, sometimes you get lucky.

arguably we've had damn good to decent success getting the poors kids...remember the big white DT that nobody ever heard of and ended up playing good for a season and then ended up with the Redskins? Teslaa is another. We've had some dudes that were good...they weren't all duds. A few of the big name kids that never panned out at previous stops...shocker...didn't really pan out here either. 

Overall a lot of guys are going to look bad if the surrounding talent is just ASS. I think that's what we've seen lately. Lots of ass and not in a good way.

And just this year, Rohan Jones from Montana. And of course, he was underutilized here.

We've had far more success with lower level transfers than we've had with the former 4 stars from power programs. Even so, our evals need to be spot on, because most of those won't hit. I'd still rather have a player looking to "prove it" than a disgruntled player looking for a payday.

[vegashog]

it's a 105 man roster going forward. walk-ons will probably be gone by the end of next year because of the hard cap.

not to say we don't need to start picking it up a little, but most everyone is going to be taking a lot more 3 stars just to fill out a three deep and the scout teams.

Fine by me.
