    I googled how fat is Mike Elko and it led me to a surly thread. Was not disappointed

    Watching him and Dykes will be interesting.  That should be a natural rivalry there.  Private rich school vs 2nd level state school.  Both with 'aw shucks' kinda coaches.

  2. How much stock do we place in PFF grades? How many would Sark take assuming he could have his way?

    Damonic Williams - 69.4,  33 tackles, 5 TFL, 3 sacks, 2 QBH

    Bill Norton - 73.4, 32 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 3 PBU, 2 forced fumbles, 5 QBH

    Tiaoalii Savea - 68.5, 22 tackles, 6 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 3 QBH (Savea graded higher, 86.2 and 86.9, as a run defender against Wash St and OUsux, respectively.)

    Little word on these two below (Michigan State) so far other than Texas is looking to schedule a visit (Getafix's post #11942 in this thread) this week with Simeon Barrow. According to SI.com - LSU Country, he wants to decide by Thursday or Friday.

    Spoiler

    Here's the latest on LSU's Transfer Portal Targets:

    The Visitor: Simeon Barrow Jr.

    Brian Kelly and Co. brought in coveted defensive line transfer Simeon Barrow Jr. for an official visit to Baton Rouge from Sunday night to Tuesday afternoon.

    Now, the No. 2 uncommitted defensive lineman in the NCAA Transfer Portal is continuing his portal process with a pair of visits locked in.

    Barrow, the top target on LSU's Transfer Portal Big Board, spent three days in Death Valley meeting with defensive line coach Bo Davis and the staff, but what's next?

    The LSU Visit Recap

    Barrow arrived in Baton Rouge last Sunday night to kick off his visit with LSU. The trip down South marked his first visit since entering the portal with Kelly and Co. getting the first crack at the No. 1 portal defensive lineman.

    It gave Barrow an opportunity to soak in the scenes of Death Valley and get a taste for how the staff would utilize his skill set. With Davis leading the recruiting push, it made Barrow feel at home and talk business.

    "[Bo Davis] pitched to me that he can help develop me to the player I want to be and help me get to where I want to be which is the NFL," Barrow told LSU Country.

    Barrow spent four seasons with Michigan State, and now in search of a new home for his final season of eligibility, he'll be wined and dined during his transfer process with LSU getting in the mix early.

    He tallied 34 games played with 30 starts, totaling 110 career tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, and 10.5 sacks, two blocked field goals, one pass break-up, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.

    When it comes to Baton Rouge, it was a place he enjoyed with the environment and food standing out most.

    "It was a great environment. I loved the food and the coaching staff," Barrow said.

    Now, LSU will remain in pursuit of the prized transfer as he begins the next steps in his Transfer Portal process.

    The Next Two Visits: Miami and Missouri

    Barrow left Baton Rouge and then spent the next few days on the road once again. He hopped on a flight and took a trip to Missouri before another trip to Miami on Monday, he tells LSU Country.

    With officials to LSU, Miami and Missouri, it may not stop there with a fourth visit "up in the air" at the moment.

    For now, sources feel this will be an LSU vs. Miami race. The goal was clear for the Tigers: Lock this one up before he departs Baton Rouge. Now, he's set to take a trip to Miami in the coming days.

    It's evident the defensive tackle price tag is high right now with several programs putting their foot on the gas to lock down the trenches with NIL becoming a major factor.

    LSU will be battling it out against a few heavy hitters over the next few weeks as they navigate the Transfer Portal.

    The Commitment Timeline

    Barrow has intentions of shutting down his recruitment by the end of next week with a commitment looking to be on Thursday or Friday, he tells LSU Country.

     

    Simeon Barrow Jr. - 72.2, 36 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks

    Derrick Harmon - 78.4, 40 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 2.5 sacks

    That place was awesome. Brisket was a little pot roasty but everything else was incredible 

    Never been to this place, but that's pretty hard to reconcile with "top" or "one of the top BBQ" places. Pot roasty BBQ brisket is an oxymoron and a cardinal sin, IMO.

    Pretty sure that those are 4yr totals and not fully guaranteed.

    Still one hell of a last chance opportunity and a lot of money for a douchebag, however it ends up working out.

    It’s a long way from sa to Tyler. Hell I may still quit after these batches. I just don’t have interest in drinking 5 gallons of the same beer at a time.

    Likewise. Have you considered brewing smaller batches? I've haven't done so, but have read on homebrewtalk you can brew smaller batches in your 5 gal equipment -- as low as 2 gal batches for primary. Others mention 2.5 to 3 gal in the same thread linked.

    I watched the show when it came out.  He was basically Bo Callahan.  His own teammates hated him.  He was an ass to everyone.  Complete dick and perfect for OU was my final assessment.  Karma will always show her face and it was the last 3 days for Spencer. 

    If karma for entitled douchebaggery is getting drafted in the fifth round, then the universe appears to be rather forgiving of it.

    Disagree.  I thought he was a huge YAC threat who broke tackles.  The critical lesson for him is the same as for Jordan Shipley:  don't get injured.

    I don't disagree that he was, and is, a YAC threat in the manner you stated. But he often left meat on the bone in that regard. And when that happened, it was because he was stuttering left and right one or more times too many. Indeed, because it slowed him down too much to make use of his momentum to break tackles or plow ahead and also allowed defenders to close in when he often could have juked them entirely by just one or two cuts. It's an area he can improve on substantially IMO.

    I'd take Watts on the eye test and JWhitt on the "amazing locker room dude" test.

    I think a critical lesson JWhitt needs to learn is to dance less. Make your cut, turn north and step on the gas. He has good wiggle, but does it too much. He's left a lot of yards after the catch on the table as a result.

    I thought for sure Sanders would go in the 3rd.

    I thought for sure Jones would go in the 4th.

    I thought for sure Ford would go in the 5th.

    Not only did you click it, you posted it here for a few thousand other people to click it. Don’t give these wannabe self-proclaimed journalists a voice.  The coverage of sports and social media in general would be better off if 3/4 of these dickheads had to go get a real job.

    UID and avatar check ... xD

    I still get it every so often at my neighborhood store, but there is definitely a slightly funky undertone going on, I assume it's the oil they use for frying.

    I feel the same about most any store's rotisserie chicken, including HEB's. They taste good enough fresh, but ...

    And so I haven't had one in a long time now.

    I know it's not a real game, and I know lots of the development comes from simply being in the program for a year, but the improvement arch showed from last spring game to this one has to be one of the best endorsements of Sark's ability to grow a player as you can get.

    It says just as much about Arch and his upbringing. The guy works and applies himself.

    Usually the defense looks more prepared in the spring game. Is the offense really good or is our secondary a problem? Run defense looks fine but the secondary, woof.

    Mixed bag by the secondary. Malik Muhammad looked good on that J. Cook completion. Just a great catch by Cook, but Manny played it about as tightly as you could ask for.

    Still, a lot of busted coverages.
