  1. IT definitely has a tendency for overconfidence. Can't remember a time they've been overly pessimistic on anyone. I still like their intel but you definitely have to triangulate with other 9.95ers (ex: no one else said we had such a great shot with Sanders, while everyone else thinks we're getting Mathis). Which is funny because Banks was his biggest error the first time around. The current "sure things" for IT seems to be D Campbell and Billingsley (and I guess Mathis). If any of those doesn't happen, that'd be a new biggest miss.
  2. Worst case Moody is a good special teams player, depth LB, and likely good culture addition. Best case is all the above plus an improvement at starting LB, which is very possible. I don't see any other LBs knocking down the door so why tf not take him? As discussed ad nauseam, we seem to have enough spots to spare especially if we don't get Sanders. edit: I haven't watched him but sounds like he was first LB backup for Bama so he must be decent. Ben Davis was like 3rd string iirc
  3. Tea leaves certainly don't look good on Sanders imo. Sounds like IT was already hedging a few pages ago and they love the sunshine pumping. Oh well. Means we really need to close Mathis. Wonder if we can get him to sign soon even though he won't show up until June (narrator: doubtful).
  4. So is the working theory on Surly that he signed but OU doesn't know he did? A little hard to believe imo
  5. Hopefully Jahleel shuts it down today. Would be nice to get that one closed out. Not important but that HS recruitment was bizarre for Jaylen Moody. Pretty low 3-star but signed with Bama and had a Clemson offer too. Sounds like he's a special teams baller and was also second string LB.
  6. Redshirt seems kind of meaningless for someone like this. His mind is probably looking NFL asap.
  7. Neyor still visited Ole Miss this weekend btw. Seems like we're out but his recruitment may have some more twists and turns to it.
  8. Ole Miss makes the most sense career-wise. Wouldn't be shocked if BYU is in stealthy contention like Fud said. OU would make sense if not for Gabriel. And if he's ok with sitting a year, I'd think UCLA (his original #2) would be in contention. But you never know. I haven't watched Dart but I'm actually a little curious why he's so hyped. His numbers are solid for a freshman but honestly not that special (7.2 ypa, 9/5 TD/INT). For comparison Caleb is 9.1 ypa and 21/4. Ole Miss has been crushing it in the portal btw. I have a feeling they are bagging it up there (evidence: Zach Evans)
  9. Ewers, Watts, Billingsley, and Mathis (if that happens) would be a very good portal haul. These won't be the last options to come available either. That's not to diminish D Sanders. He'd be a huge get, likely behind only Ewers imo (maybe Mathis).
  10. He's been saying that? First I've heard of it. Would be v dumb if true.
  11. Is the sentiment that OU is a longshot for Dart? Always seemed like an odd one just bc of Gabriel but seems like real interest
  12. Yeah and no risk of negative recruiting here because it was a mid-week visit in January. No other prospects around.
  13. ~20 turnovers makes it hard to win. Also when your best player is in foul trouble all game. Also when an opponent's 24% 3-point shooter goes 6/11 from 3.
  14. Watching this offense is like watching a pickup game at the rec
  15. He shot 38% FG last year 32% from 3, so yeah he was always more of a chucker. He's got some crafty one on one moves though
  16. It was worth a shot. No harm in trying, I'd be more pissed if they didn't at least try. But yeah, looks like no WRs until post-spring portal wave. At least Billingsley would help.
  17. Beard needs to let Carr loose more often. This one on one scoring is what he's good at. Also wtf are Licon and Benson doing in the game
  18. In other portal news, Jaxson Dart and Trigg are visiting Ole Miss now after their OU visit. Still don't understand why Dart would go to OU with Gabriel there, but seems like it's down to those two
  19. Dang but not surprising. Kinda cool video though
  20. Generally agree but the one major counterpoint is that Jeff Banks was able to get him bought in at Bama and would be coaching him again here. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to why one person connects better with another, but it's real.
  21. Idk, to be fair they didn't stop recruiting high school guys like Banks or Brooks after they committed (even if it took some luck to be successful) Also, for the record, this is another Hooks trainee
  22. Unfortunate that Mathis is waiting a semester and taking his time to decide. We really can't afford to blow that one. Still interesting to me that there's been zero insight on Billingsley from any school's 9.95ers
