    Had no idea we have such a good ‘25 class. Number 1 in the country now with 13 recruits with 7 in top 100 on perfectgame. Just didn’t know our 21/22 classes were…lower than I’d like but I’m not a baseball scout. 

    I’m not a baseball expert either, but I played through high school. In my mind, baseball more than any other sport, hinges on consistent and continuous player development. You just never know when you’ve maxed out someone’s ability to recognize and react to pitches, their arm strength, etc.

  2. I understand why people are frustrated with him, but how about we stop shitting on him until he’s actually gone. If I had to guess, I’d assume the coaches are giving him through spring practice to shape up. If he doesn’t, he’s cut off. Perhaps we give him the same timeline.

  3. There’s no reason to believe that TCU can’t become the Clemson of the southwest. They’re going to leverage this championship appearance (and possible national championship victory) as well as their conference record against us to pull in some metroplex trophy fish ‘croots for years to come. That said, there no reason why we can’t simultaneously be perennial top 10 teams, but they will be a thorn in our side long after we change conferences.

    I see a lot of descriptions of our linebacker commits refer to them as “off-ball” linebackers.  
     

    As a casual fan who does not want to venture to the football board and has been afraid to ask:  what does this mean and what is the difference with an “on-ball” linebacker? 

    Off ball is the crap we had Joseph Ossai doing his first two seasons. On ball/edge/EDGE is what he was doing in year 3.

    Gets full credit for money spent on #8 jewelry, when he upgrades it #1 ??

    Jewelry stores do this a lot, and I'm often reminded about this around anniversaries, birthdays and Christmas... 🙄

    I guess once they’ve gotten you to purchase the diamonds, complimentary rearranging of said jewels is a no brainer.

  6. When he switched to RB I figured he'd at least be serviceable. It took one game for me to be convinced he had NFL potential. He deserves all the love and recognition that comes his way. When he retires from the NFL as a millionaire, give him a Michael Huff role in the RBs room.

    Track / field and cross country surprises me

    It's very rare for schools in non-mountainous or cool climates to compete for a championship in XC. Arkansas is the only major exception and that was back in the 80s/90s. We'd need to allow our team to train with UTEP and attend classes remotely to stand a chance.
