  1. Nah I worded that poorly. He still has his Nets gig. Meant that the only head coaching job he has been able to find, since interviewing with us, was in Sudan. No one else is clamoring to hire him. The shine on him fell way off after that disastrous run by Brooklyn (both their failure to make use of the roster and the hilariously poorly handled dysfunction) and he is viewed as part of the problem despite managing to save his own job thanks to his connections with Durant. I really don't want to shit on an alumni but I know people involved there and I don't think there is a single power 5 college that would hire Ivey based on the feedback from unbiased personnel around the Nets organization. Him getting our gig would be lunacy. Optics and narratives change. Two years ago we could have honestly sold the idea that we just hired an NBA assistant who was in line to potentially get NBA head coaching jobs. That would move the needle with parents and recruits. Now you have an assistant who only has a job due to his relationship with a malcontent NBA star and who has been a key figure in some of the worst coaching, just in general, in all of basketball over the last couple of seasons. I just don't see how you can spin that and it would be a soft reset for the program. You sure as fuck aren't going to clean up the portal or maintain your hold on our five star recruits by going with a guy unproven and without any shine on his name as is currently the case with Ivey.
  2. Ivey was given consideration after things blew up with Shaka because there was a heavy push by Durant and some other ex players to at least give him a look. At the time he was considered a high potential NBA assistant coach with the Nets who helped run an offense that people would kill to play in. What happened since is their coaching staff fell apart, that entire org became a dumpster fire and Ivey is now coaching a team in the fucking Sudan because that is the best gig he could find.. Anyone suggesting Ivery you can immediately discount as either just poorly informed or a complete retard. A lot changes in just two years and Ivey is not and absolutely should not be given even the slightest of consideration.
  3. So how many minutes before a crystal ball for JMS to either USC, Bama or Oregon? Thirty minutes? Less?
  4. Honestly that is probably the case. I've fucked up and done JH a number of times as well.
  5. 100% meant GH and just hit the wrong key. Didn't notice until it was too late to edit. I do that for some weird reason with GH a lot (hitting GW instead). I don't even know a GW reporter so not sure why my mind goes full derp.
  6. If the drama about Blue is simply related to him being pissed about the bowl game usage of our RBs I hardly blame him. Did we not all watch the same game? Sark went full fucking retard trying to make Keilan work as a feature back and not going to Brookes or Blue in even shorter yardage situations is baffling. I assume this is just the most recent issue among many however with GW and others basically saying the equivalent of good riddance.. if not then fuck them because being pissed about the bowl game RB situation is 100% warranted and he hasn't been half the public drama queen as Worthy or others who GW turns around and sucks off at every opportunity. That FSU kid is a stud and would be an excellent addition to the roster regardless of how things play out with Blue.
  7. Random guess but player 4 could be Baxter. NIL? Over one million. Where did NIL rank? Behind scheme, development and coaching relationships (he came here because of our track record at RB, coach Choice). Who finished Second? FSU but they got in a bit too late and by then I was locked in. Best Food? The one guy who specifically mentions Texas. Advice? Basically regurgitates the exact messaging with regards to development and NIL that Sark constantly repeats.
  8. Dear lord is Brooks that bad a tackler also? I don't think I've ever bothered looking up his PFF stuff since the sample size is so small. I know Holmes was in the like low 30s in tackling over his time at WF when I was looking at some of his film and got curious. I assumed (always a mistake apparently) that Brooks was at least a somewhat decent tackler if they were even remotely considering a move to safety for him.
  9. If retaining Christian Jones means we perhaps move one of those guys inside to replace Hutson I am all for it. Man did he struggle at times this year. And @ClubWhatever I'll save you the trouble; HateYouAndMyselfAndHolmesAndHutson
  10. I wouldn't expect much from Holmes. I am trying to keep an open mind with him but he is mediocre in coverage and one of the truly worst tacklers in all of CFB. Film backs that up and if you prefer analytics the same is true with PFF and every other ratings sight. It increases our floor a bit maybe but I have a hard time seeing him making much of a positive impact on this team. I can see the upside there as well but unless he shows up committed fully to improving his tackling I just don't think this staff, with how much they value solo tackling ability in space, trusting him with significant minutes at corner. I think he sees the field, sure, but I highly doubt he will beat out Brooks for that corner spot in any kind of fair competition. Not without improvement.
  11. Honestly surprised to see Gilbert make that jump now rather than waiting another month. Unless something has changed since late October the NCAA is still planning to vote in January to increase or outright remove the assistant coach cap. Last I checked it was expected to pass. Once that happens you can get all kinds of creative finding titles and roles for these guys like Gilbert who are critical to the program but road blocked by the traditional coaching tree structure and staff. I'll avoid going entirely down the rabbit hole but the potential ramifications of that rule change are extremely fascinating. Certainly presents opportunities to flex things around and create new roles underneath current coordinators and positional coaches.
  12. Could also have to do with Jwhit potentially returning. If we are adding a WR from the portal with size as expected plus Jwhit returns there is basically no chance for someone like Hall to see the field next year. Especially not with Cook likely to be play and contribute as a true FR.
  13. Still somewhat shocked Cain has not entered the portal as well. Just going to assume he is set to graduate either this Spring or after summer classes and wants to (smartly) secure that diploma first. Hard to imagine he ever sees the field for us again in anything but junk time.
  14. Richardson hitting the portal was likely expected but even still that further increases the chances we hard press for the Tulsa LB. Which is good because we should be doing that anyway. Stanford C is probably the most exciting name of the guys in there so far. Huge potential upgrade. I know everyone kept saying we would only look for an OL if a really elite upgrade presented itself but there is fucking is. He will surely have a fuck ton of options though.
  15. Nah Burrell is great. Just not someone expected to contribute day one like Lefau and doesn't have the same projected first round ceiling as Hill. Causes him to get spoken about less.
  16. Benton seems to be our second choice of the current targets behind Pierce. The other late offers are likely fall back options as Benton is also strongly considering Arkansas and Pierce is like 90%+ headed to Michigan. Could certainly be wrong though.
  17. They really like the Stanford CB (who would be safety for us) that just hit the portal. I don't think he was someone they were targeting before the end of the season but I could see him as the primary pivot now that Anderson and Mathews are far less likely to leave Aggie.
  18. Lefau especially is huge as I think we might have needed to dip into the portal at LB, even if we Lefau and Hill sign, if he wasn't an EE. If he shows up as expected I think they are confident he can play enough immediately in that Overshown spot they don't need to get a guy. Obviously getting Hill is huge as well but I haven't seen the same expectations of him being a year one impact guy as he likely just shadows Ford and backs him up.
  19. Jerrin Thompson got most the reps and played well. I still think he is the most over rated player on our entire roster, especially in PFF, since he was slow to adjust to routes and had frankly horrendous ball skills more often than not but he was much improved and a very good player overall for us. Coffey didn't make much an impact and I'm fairly certain we were recruiting people to jump him on depth chart out of portal /shrug.
  20. Hah! The recruit, Ja'kobi, of course. Seems like the one kid among our current WR targets that could actually come in and produce in that spot as a true FR if things don't pan out with Neyor. If we land him I think that probably gives us enough a floor we don't end up taking a bigger bodied bench type guy from the portal. We miss on Lane, as seems likely, and Thornton types make more sense.
  21. Thornton wouldn't be a bad take as a replacement for guys like Cain or Troy if they portal out. You need someone to provide a higher floor than we currently have behind Neyor in case his recovery is set back. If we land Lane then you probably wouldn't need him but Lane seems fairly set to USC at this point. edit: lmao and yep there goes T.O. announcing the departure. I fully expect Cain joins him soon and that definitely opens a spot for Thornton.
  22. Taking anyone at OL that isn't a proven solid RT would be outrageously fucking stupid. Enough with offering life rafts to Bama bread that Saban is processing out of his program. Also dear lord usually even 'hot' gymnasts are a seven that look better because of the flattering tights and setting. That girl is a spinal tap 11.
