    The handler thought it was going to be one way, but it was the other. 

    Still guessing OU but they just may not have the money. If they win on the deal, they have depleted the war chest for softball or gymnastics and they’ve discovered more competition in both arenas than originally forecast. That shit matters. This will be interesting. @Js1

    Me too.  We're deeper at Buck, and I'd rather Gullette see snaps at Buck than Walton at Sam. 

    Walton may end up being great, but the fact that I'd almost forgotten about him kinda sums up how often he's mentioned in practice reports.

    I think Gullette to buck isnt gonna happen. We are deep there and recruiting well. Think of Gullette like Ant Hill. A versatile athlete who can do multiple things.

    Agreed - but to steer this conversation in a productive direction, who do y'all think will be in the 2-deep by the end of Spring? Leaving potential incoming transfers out of it for now.

    Alfred Collins is a lock to start. 

    Then there's Savea, Broughton, Aaron Bryant, Bledsoe, Mitchell, Swanson, and January. I think Swanson and Mitchell are prime portal candidates, and January is a true freshman, so I doubt any of them are realistically making the cut.

    Out of the remaining guys, I think Savea is the other starter. They've been talking him up all Spring and said he's the best at anchoring against the run. Broughton is the veteran and the staff seems to like him fine. Personally I'm down on Broughton - he gets pushed around too much. But he seems likely to make the 2-deep. 

    That leaves Bledsoe and Bryant, and I think Bledsoe probably gets the nod. But in all honesty, I'd rather see Broughton split snaps with Bryant and see if he can develop. I think we've seen Broughton's ceiling and it's pretty low. 

    To recap:

    • 1st team - Collins and Savea
    • 2nd team - Bledsoe and Broughton (Bryant)
    • 3rd team - January and Bryant (Broughton)

    Bledsoe will be paired with a NT and expect VB and Collins will be paired together mostly.

    Gerry just brought up an interesting point I didn't immediately catch.....Baker is also working pass rush with the edges. Wonder if PK will be focused more macro level of defense and not so much edges like years past? 

    PK is still working with the edges a good bit but he seems to be able to hand him off for a few periods here and there. Baker has experience coaching the whole group too.

    What is that exactly? He’s failing in replenishing the farm system and there are gaping holes in the big league roster.

    He's been through 1 draft and International cycle. How has he already failed?
