  1. Modern basketball: Old guards win tournament games Surly: We don't recruit enough HS Centers
  2. No, he was a camp invite monitored for growth. Same class as Sanders, Davis, and Helm. Gumms was interested, though. His 247 profile picture was him in Texas gear for a long time
  3. You can tell Gerry isn’t on campus taking pictures. Severe lack of ankles in the on3 pics
  4. Former defensive analyst, Kyle Coats
  5. Mack didn’t claim that Charlie only needed to ice his cake either. Tom was certainly too proud to give away any earned credit, but Charlie gave himself credit for the roster if a now very high bar was met. Turns out they both ate shit that first year.
  6. What Becton makes now is roughly the same as a head strength coach in the NFL, but most NFL head strength coaches make more than most of their CFB counterparts. There are some CFB outliers that are either overpaid, are rewarded for tenure, or have been money whipped to take the job but those outliers aren't the market.
  7. I saw an incredible stat the other day re: avg. ppg of freshman v. transfers. Something like ~20% of freshman are averaging double figures compared to~60% of transfers. Those aren't super correct, but the disparity is not exaggerated - it's enormous. Whomever the next coach is will need to adapt to the transfer heavy model deployed by Beard. Of course transcendent freshman will always exist in basketball, but roster construction won't be Calipari's Kentucky. I, too, would enjoy a Wright/Donovan/Stevens type. That said, roster construction is fundamentally shifting away from one year rentals and will require skillful portal navigation and drawing on existing college staff relationships.
  8. Don't encourage it
  9. He's a longer, taller Prince Dorbah frame, but without the quickness. While Zina may be able to put on weight easier, he's probably 20lbs lighter than you'd like at this stage. The length is what separates him from your average tweener, but to your point, his hudl is like watching whatdoidowithmyhands.gif
  10. Zina wants to be a top priority and he's.....not. So much like his brother, I'll be pleasantly surprised if.
  11. Say what you will about the evaluation abilities of your average mbu, but *checks username* nvm
  12. They're right. Of their current staff, he's hired: Jim Knowles Justin Frye, worked with Day at Temple Tim Walton, Meyer's CB coach in Jville Perry Eliano, coached corners for friend and former colleague Luke Fickell Other than Knowles, these are comfort hires in his sphere, or at the recommendation of friends. And this is who he's hired and churned: Taver Johnson - Currently Safeties at EMU Alex Grinch - Took a lateral job with a raise Billy Davis - Coached Linebackers in the NFL, was not retained by Peterson in Philadelphia and spent 2 years because he lives in Ohio and had young kids. Back in the NFL now. Kerry Coombs - Abject failure as DC, but Day was too nice to fire him Jeff Hafley - The "we'll try anything to get the defense right" hire that lasted 1 season. Has driven a bad BC further into the abyss as HC Yurcich - Passing game coordinator in name only, and QBs, has done a nice job since leaving as OC at pedo st Greg Mattison - see Hafley, has retired from coaching Al Washington - Linebackers, spent 3 years and took a lateral move to ND The rest of the current staff includes Larry Johnson and Tony Alford, who are fOSU lifers not tied to Day, and Hartline who is using Day for as much legitimate resume building as he can. None of these three were hired by Day. That leaves Dennis - QBs, Fleming - ST, and Bailey - TEs. Each of these were analysts under Meyer. Other than Knowles, a demonstrably good hire, how has Day improved the program? He's brought in shitty coaches who don't stick around, or jammed a square peg in a round hole and failed. Aside from his well defined deficiencies as an actual in-game head coach, he has zero reputation for hiring and retaining good coaches which is imperative to building culture. It will be a slow decline until they finally let him go.
  13. Can we not go down a shitty beer rabbit hole, please. Your nostalgia for garbage doesn’t make it not garbage. Sorta like that girl who put up with your 5 minutes. There’s a time and place for garbage, but I think we can all agree that this is not either.
