    I have seen enough of Blue down the stretch to know that he is an absolute badass who is going to kill it in our offense.  As a runner, pass catcher, and if they let him, kickoff returns.  He has rare speed for a back and plays big.  That fumble was unfortunate, he was trying to make a play and get extra yards.  But he is going to be a major, major problem for opposing teams.

    I am concerned about precisely two positions right now, DT and TE.  And I am not all that concerned about them.  I suspect they will be addressed.

    One thing I've seen consistently from Blue that I think is an important and under appreciated trait is his patience in the backfield to let his blocks develop.  So many RBs just run headlong to where the play is designed without that patience and miss out on some yards.  Blue shows that patience and then has the acceleration and speed to hit the holes his blockers create.

    Serious question - has Weigman's camp or the ATM United group announced his return? Things seem really, really quiet in that regard. 

    Also, I am still fascinated by the scorching hawt takes that their roster is going to be really talented in 2024. They've lost a ton of talent over the last two cycles and they have not replenished it with quantity or quality. I hear people in the media still referencing talent as well. Eventually, someone is going to dig a little deeper and see what we've seen, right? I guess I hope not. I hope they open 2024 ranked, again, and then collapse.

    I'm wondering if Weigman's injury and the uncertainty about his recovery has him without much of a transfer market right now.  I'd be shocked if he hasn't looked around, but there may not be any takers.  If you're looking for a portal QB do you want the uncertainty of filling a spot with a guy that may not be ready to play next year, or even beyond that?

    I don't necessarily disagree, but suppose you'd made the tragic. youthful mistake of taking a bag to star in Jimbo Baggins Hobbit offense and its promises of greatness, only to find yourself becoming a fleet-footed Gollum riding a 12-12 wave in fucking College Fucking Station of all places, you'd probably love football a lot less, too.

    It's not the fact that he took a bag to play for Jimbo.  Everyone here would have still gladly taken his transfer last year.  It's the fact that having seen his mistake he told Texas coaches a year later that he was going to transfer here just to end up taking another bag, staying there, and then quitting on the team.

    That said, if the coaches still think he can be a team player and not a disruption then I'm on board.  However, if they opt to pass on him I can understand and would defer to their judgement.

    (Lots of stuff - reiterated Texas for Tyanthony Smith, possibly LSU/Texas for McKinley, Aggie for Dealyn/Solomon; notes on several others.)

    Everything I think I know roughly 24 hours before the three-day Early Signing Period hits on Dec. 20.

    Starting with the five-stars

    • I still believe 247Sports’ No. 1 recruit in five-star receiver Jeremiah Smith will put pen to paper with Ohio State. Meanwhile, Florida State, Miami and Florida are working to change that.
    • I still believe 247Sports’ No. 4 recruit quarterback DJ Lagway will sign with Florida. Same goes for 247Sports No. 6 prospect LJ McCray. Lagway’s other suitors include Houston, Texas A&M, Clemson and maybe USC. McCray’s are Auburn and Florida State.
    • I wouldn’t be surprised if Auburn surpassed Florida State for 247Sports’ No. 1 safety KJ Bolden (No. 15 prospect). Not a prediction yet but think the Tigers are giving the Seminoles a major run. There are a couple sources that think The Plains wins out.
    • I think it’s possible that five-star defensive lineman Dominick McKinley (No. 31 prospect) signs on Wednesday. I don’t think it will be with Texas A&M. I’m keeping an eye on Texas, and LSU currently has an official scheduled for mid-January.
    • A source around Buford (Ga.) High tells 247Sports that long-time Ohio State commit Eddrick Houston (No. 33 prospect) has not made a final decision. While communication has remained strong with the Buckeyes staff, Alabama is indeed making it interesting down the stretch. I said early in the day I liked OSU’s chances to hold, not saying they won’t but don’t feel as strong about it.
    • The recruitment of Clinton (NC) High Top247 defensive lineman Amaris Williams (No. 34 prospect) is “hour to hour” according to a source regarding who leads, whether that’s Florida where he’s committed or Auburn who’s charging hard.
    • I like Michigan for 247Sports No. 36 prospect in Gatlin Bair who is not expected to sign early. Oregon is the competition.
    • Still forecasting Miami (Fla.) Central Top247 defensive lineman Armondo Blount (No. 41) to flip from Florida State to the Hurricanes.
    • Longview (Texas) Pine Tree Top247 defensive lineman Dealyn Evans (No. 44) is a long-time verbal to Texas A&M and he could sign Wednesday.

    Prospects ranked No. 51 through No. 100

    • Sticking with my prediction of Missouri for Pine Bluff (Ark.) High Top247 receiver Courtney Crutchfield (No. 51 prospect). Arkansas is the other school.
    • Expecting Houston (Miss.) High Top247 defensive lineman William Echoles (No. 61 prospect) to honor his verbal to Ole Miss.
    • Wrote the last two days I thought Oregon was closing in on a flip of St. Louis (Mo.) Christian Brothers Top247 receiver Jeremiah McClellan (No. 72 prospect). That intel is starting to change and I feel like the Buckeyes are on track to hold on. 247Sports National Analyst Allen Trieu is hearing a lot of the same.
    • I think Oregon hangs on to Top247 offensive tackle JacQawn McRoy (No. 80) but Colorado got a late visit and you never sleep on Deion Sanders late in the cycle.
    • I have Esko (Minn.) Lincoln Secondary Top247 safety Koi Perich (No. 84) sticking with Minnesota over flipping to Ohio State.

    Prospects ranked No. 101 through No. 150

    • Oregon is the heavy favorite to land Fairfield (Calif.) Armijo Top247 defensive lineman Jericho Johnson (No. 108).
    • I believe Missouri City (Texas) Ridge Point Top247 receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman (No. 114) will stick with Arkansas after flirting late with other programs.
    • Logged a 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecast on Monday night in favor of Alabama to flip Northport (Ala.) Tuscaloosa County Top247 running back Kevin Riley (No. 116) from Miami.
    • My 247Sports Crystal Ball is on South Carolina for Meridian (Miss.) High Top247 running back Daniel Hill (No. 128), but I’m not sleeping on the late charge from Mississippi State for legacy recruit. Hill won’t announce till Jan. 6 and also has Alabama and Tennessee included in his finalists.
    • Riding with Arizona for Calabasas (Calif.) High Top247 athlete Aaron Butler (No. 130) if the Wildcats are pushing down the stretch. 247Sports National Analyst Greg Biggins says Washington is in the mix and could be a factor.
    • Wisconsin is the favorite for Towson (Md.) Concordia Prep Top247 defensive lineman Ernest Willor Jr. (No. 132). Madison was the only place he visited in December.

    Prospects ranked No. 151 through 200

     

    • Put in a 247Sports Crystal Ball forecast in favor of Texas A&M for Tampa (Fla.) Carrollwood Day Top247 defensive lineman Solomon Williams (No. 153) following his visit to College Station over the weekend, but Alabama cannot be ruled out. In fact they were the leader before the return to the Aggies campus.
    • Katy (Texas) High Top247 offensive lineman Coen Echols (No. 154) won’t commit until Friday, the last day of the Early Signing Period. Auburn is the 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite, but LSU is making it interesting late. Aggies are the third team in the picture.
    • I think it’s picking up strong for Miami for Largo (Fla.) High Top247 linebacker Adarius Hayes (No. 180) but he’s saying the right things to Florida where he’s a long-time commitment.
    • We’ll see if North Palm Beach (Fla.) The Benjamin School Top247 athlete Amaree Williams (No. 189) signs after reclassifying to 2024 on Friday ahead of his Florida State visit.

    Prospects ranked No. 201 through 247

    • Bountiful (Utah) High Top247 safety Faletau Satuala (No. 211) won’t announce until Jan. 6 at the All-American Bowl. Utah is the 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite but BYU is making it very interesting.
    • Michigan State is the prediction for Honolulu (Hawaii) St. Louis offensive tackle Rustin Young (No. 218).
    • Missouri is the 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecast regarding Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek Top247 cornerback Trajen Greco. He has a Jan. 6 commitment date as well.

    New Crystal Ball Forecasts

    • Logged one in favor of Syracuse for cornerback Marcellus Barnes Jr. who won’t announce until Jan. 6 at the All-American Bowl. Speaking of the Orange program, still like them for four-star edge rusher KingJoseph Edwards as well.
    • Teamed up with 247Sports National Recruiting Editor Brandon Huffman to predict Tennessee for San Mateo (Calif.) Junipero Serra tight end Cole Harrison following his weekend official to Knoxville. Washington State is also in that one.
    • Rolling with Florida for Riverview (Fla.) Sumner High safety Gregory Smith III.
    • Two new Nebraska predictions include flipping Larry Tarver Jr. from Maryland and securing a pledge from linebacker Vincent Shavers. Also have an older pick in favor of the Huskers for defensive back Amare Sanders.
    • Have Starkville (Miss.) High four-star receiver Braylon Burnside landing with Mississippi State.

    Quick Hitters

    • Four-star quarterback Tyler Cherry could see his process extend past Wednesday as he deliberates between Indiana and Michigan State. Other Spartans Crystal Ball forecasts going into the Early Signing Period include offensive tackle Payton Stewart, cornerback Camren Campbell, offensive lineman Raheem Johnson and edge Kekai Burnett. Still feel good about linebacker Brady Pretzlaff to MSU too.
    • Speaking of quarterbacks, UCLA looks like the one to beat for quarterback Henry Hasselbeck.
    • Have Texas predicted for linebacker Tyanthony Smith.
    • Prediction is on Tennessee for cornerback Jaren Sensabaugh, but that could go Missouri’s way following his weekend official to Columbia.
    • Tennessee is pushing to flip tight end Willie Rodriguez from Kentucky. A source thinks he sticks with the Wildcats but the Vols are making him think.
    • It will be Florida or Alabama for coveted running back Jadan Baugh, who decommitted from Arkansas on Monday. The Gators have been in a great spot for awhile but a late push and visit to Tuscaloosa this past weekend as the Crimson Tide gaining the momentum. Dialogue is heavy with both parties.
    • Sticking with my 247Sports Crystal Ball in favor of Florida State for Concord (NC) Jay M. Robinson defensive lineman D’Nas White.
    • Florida is charging late for offensive lineman Favour Edwin with Alabama and Auburn rounding out the top three.

     

     

    I don't interpret his take on Evans that way.  All he says is

    1.  Evans has been a long time aggy commit.  (This says nothing about where he will end up.)

    2.  He might sign with aggy Wednesday.  (Then again, he might not.)
