  1. This answer by Max made me laugh out loud. Gotta love the Dutch directness on display here.
  2. Total numbers include walk ons, so they're essentially purposefully misleading and bullshit sensationalism used by hack journalists who want the old system back. I would say the percentage of D1 scholarship guys who enter the portal and don't find a scholarship with another school (other than due to legal issues) is extremely low.
  3. Not having watched a second of his film, I'm gonna go ahead and say that his player comps will be Joey Bosa, Trey Hendrickson, J.J. Watt, and Nick Bosa.
  4. No. Get the transfer because he's really damn good. He had 584 yards receiving in 9 games on a team that threw for half as many yards as UT last year as a true freshman.
  5. Just a little late here. He left his role as TD in November last year, and they announced last week he's no longer with the team.
  6. Nico's agent is his dad, so I'm sure they're terrible to deal with. Also no harm to Lanning in snitching on him, because Nico's dad doesn't have any other clients. This whole thing is a great example of why you should hire a real agent and not do it yourself.
  7. Lando’s performance might be one of the worst I’ve ever seen from a podium finisher. Qualified P6 with by far the fastest car, started past his grid box and got a penalty, couldn’t pass Leclerc on hards for lap after lap, including a huge lock up, then couldn’t pass Russel on old softs who was having all sorts of brake and gear box issues. Meanwhile Oscar is miles in the lead just chillin for an easy first place.
  8. Exactly. McLaren being fast is the entire explanation for why Lewis is 6 tenths off his teammate. Makes perfect sense.
  9. I guess Lando decided to answer it for them. Terrible last lap by Lando. He’s just not very good under pressure. What happened to Lewis? Did he get a time deleted or was he just off?
  10. McLaren is going to walk this one. They’re so strong on rear limited tracks. It’s crazy.
  11. Like I said, an old tweet with shitty formatting was a huge step up for him.
  12. That and it's the middle of a triple header and the teams have a boatload of data on Bahrain because they usually do testing there.
  13. Take it easy, Tex. That qualifies as like a top 10 all time post for 6th Street.
  14. Considering your carnal encounters with KKL, Dolores seems right in your wheelhouse.
  15. It’s true Ferrari didn’t expect to be on the pace right away, but the double strategy blunder in Australia and the double DSQ in China means they already threw away about 40 points even if they were off the pace.
  16. Listen, I think we can all agree that if I didn't channel my inner Helobious yesterday, we don't have ginger Sean Bradley committed today, so you're all welcome for landing us a much needed Center. It's great and all that Miller got one lucky commit, but he's still the love child of Rodney Terry and Shaka Smart. He makes Charlie Strong look organized and Tom Herman seem likeable. He's destined to fail, and there's no fucking way he lands Traore or any other big time transfer.
  17. Miller’s not exactly lighting it up on the recruiting trail.
  18. That was one of the more boring races I can remember. These cars just lose way too much downforce following in high speed corners. It’s becoming a major issue.
  19. Max just reminding all of us he's an all time great even if he's in a bad car. George and Kimi qualified 5th and 6th, but Kimi was about .8 seconds off George on most runs during quali. George flubbed his last Q3 run and Kimi put it together, but he's still .3 off George. I think George will be very flattered by having a rookie teammate this season. The Merc actually appears to be the second best car. It'll be interesting to see how much Kimi gets up to speed by the end of the year. Ferrari still seem to be a bit of a inconsistent mess. Lewis is well off the pace again. Nice job by Charles to take advantage of George screwing up and grabbing 4th. That was the highest he could've got today. Unless there's a lot of weather and maybe even then, I see McLaren having significantly better race pace than everyone else. It'll be interesting to see if Lando and Max fight early on. Could allow Oscar to get another win.
  20. I think you might need to readjust your expectations for ole Trev. His last two hires are an assistant baseball coach with no HC experience who's currently managing one of the worst seasons ever considering the roster, and a HC at Samford who was making less than some HS coaches. Even a meh hire like Moser looks to be way better than what Alberts is capable of.
  21. Jalon Walker at #5 overall is higher than I've seen anyone else list him. He's on the small side at 6'1, 240, and a lot of people have concerns if he can hold up at edge full time. I assume Jeremiah thinks he can in order to have him #5 overall. Walker can also be useful at off-ball LB, but he's not good enough to get #5 overall there. Someone like Flores could move him all over and make great use out of him, but top 5 guys usually have a clear position and don't need exotic scheming to be great. Jeremiah has Golden as his #1 WR, #16 overall. TMac is #2 at #18 overall. He has Barron at #11, down 3 spots from last ranking. Any pick in the top 15 would be a great outcome for Jahdae. Banks is down to #31, but Jeremiah says he can stick at LT. Kind of a weird eval. Most of the time Banks drops it's due to evaluators thinking he's a G. I'm not sure I've seen anyone else say he can stick at LT and having him nearly that low.
  22. It seems like the combo of him going to UT and knowing just how psycho and broken their culture is plus how bad their AD is right now would make him realize it's a bad idea. They've had two high profile coaches voluntarily leave in the last 8 months. That's absolutely unheard of for a P4 school with their athletics spending. But Beard is also insanely vindictive and arrogant, so maybe the chance to get revenge on CDC and his belief he can make any situation work will overcome that. Whether he stays at Ole Miss or goes to A&M, I doubt he stays at either program very long. He'll jump for a better job the second he gets a chance.
  23. I won't be shocked if Beard takes the A&M job, but I also won't be surprised if he's just using A&M to get a huge raise and NIL commitments from Ole Miss. He's been building up Ole Miss for two years now, just got them to the Sweet Sixteen and will have a better roster next year. Taking the A&M job would be a step backwards roster/program-wise, and both are just stepping stones to a better job. Maybe the opportunity to get revenge on UT and whatever insane salary aggy is offering will be enough for him.
  24. If your program is already a smoking crater, can you really make a program-cratering move?
  25. Yes, people like our "smart" friend in this thread are drastically overreacting to an out of context clip from like his freshman year. Tmac is in no way a diva and there are no work ethic concerns with him. He said he watches film with the team, but he doesn't do a ton outside of that. WR is probably the position where watching film matters the least.
