  1. David Gibbs new DB coach just resigned early april... has Illinois even replaced him??

    Their defensive coordinator, Aaron Henry, was previously the DB coach for them in 2021-2022 when they had 4 DBs drafted in the first 3 rounds. Plus, all cornerbacks are going to look better playing against Big 10 offenses.
  2. There's no way Blackshire sees the field at that weight. He'd be in the 97th percentile of all NFL combine LBs since 1999, and nearly everyone around that weight are from pre-2012.

  3. Christian Jones has surprisingly good measurables. Of the Senior Bowl offensive linemen he has the 4th longest arms (34 7/8") and the 2nd longest wingspan. The NFL looks for 34+ inch arms on tackles, so I think he becomes our 8th drafted player this year.

  4. Terrion Arnold was a dogshit player. I cannot for the life of me understand how he is viewed as a high draft pick other than the fact that he played for Saban and started. Ricks now being able to start in front of him, when he was bought to do so, is not a good thing on Ricks’ end. 
    You're thinking of a different guy. Eli Ricks is the guy Bama got from LSU. Desmond (Dezz) Ricks is Eli's younger brother who was a true freshman in 2023. He reclassified from the 2024 class a month before signing day.

  5. One thing that Bobby mentions about DJ Campbell is that when he hits someone or puts his hand on someone, especially at the second level they move. Said he’s 6’3 340 right now as well with very long arms. 
     
    They say they don’t see that at all with Hutson or Conner 


    This is a play where Bijan gets caught from behind because Hayden Conner lightly shoves the safety. Notice Kelvin Banks demolishes his guy.
  6. I don't know who DT is because I only trust CJ Vogel from TFB.

    IT has been reporting that Jett Bush is the backup for Jaylen Ford with Gbenda currently in front of Anthony Hill for the other spot. They've also reported Gavin Holmes is the the best cover corner we have.

    The only CB we whiffed on was Jacoby Matthews. Maybe you can count Javien Toviano, but he's listed as a safety and we signed Derek Williams for that role.



  7. They lost 24 guys to the portal but they were all depth pieces and “they knew this was coming” about all of them.  


    What's funny is that for the last 6 months they've been saying that they're intentionally taking a small recruiting class due to lack of space. At least that's been the excuse.

    Now all of a sudden they knew there would be 25 scholarships would transfer out? They have 10 or so open slots right now. So either they intentionally took a small class or they knew about the transfers. Can't have both excuses.

  8. If anyone has on worthy
    "What are you hearing about the rumor of Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy possibly transferring?"

    "I’m hearing there’s definitely a possibility of that happening. I’m told by the same source who told me about Caleb Williams likely transferring to USC a year ago, that Worthy is seriously considering a transfer and USC is a top option. If he does ultimately enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, we believe USC will be the school to beat."



    Literally everybody knew Caleb Williams was going to follow Lincoln Riley to USC...
  9. Here's the image from the above post. You have to use the points from the sports highlighted in red. You then pick the next best 15.

    Texas softball is now up to a minimum of 78 points after the win against UCLA.

    Not 100% sure on how track and field team standings work. We've sent quite a few athletes to the championship. Is there an expected minimum final standing for us?

    Top 5 finish for both men and women's track + 1-2 baseball wins in regionals should be enough insurance in the event that Stanford wins the baseball championship.

    Obviously if softball and baseball keep winning, we should all but clinch the Cup before track is even completed.
