It seems like Cooper is looking to be the only back in the class. Edwards jumped the gun on an offer to somewhere he doesn’t want to go because the money wowed him. I’m fine with the outcome, personally. 

Ahh. He messed up.  Gotta just enjoy the bag now.

Yeah, no sour grapes but from day 1 it seemed to me that we liked Finley as a prospect, but didn't love him.

I saw him play (once) and did not love him.  Small sample size, but…

I say this with absolute certainty but also ask for immunity by saying this about a teenager:

What a douche this Kreul dude is.
 

I only watched the first 30 seconds or so. Because the video was annoying, but in a way that any video made by a high school kid is annoying. Did he do something douchey later in the video? Because I didn't see anything in the part I watched. He was just talking enthusiastically about the gear he got. Basically an unboxing video, which is super common and has been a thing for more than a decade. 

I don't think this kid is worth whatever OU paid for him and I doubt he amounts to more than a tweener / specialist in college, but we don't need to be all sour grapes about it. I say this while acknowledging your plea for immunity.

Aside- if that’s not just an urban legend then it’s a bullshit excuse. 
condoms are stretchy

I think the joke is that the dude didn't like wearing condoms (who does) and just wanted to say something sufficiently shocking to get her to leave him alone. But it was almost certainly apocryphal.

The d line coach going ape shit on that end. Was he really following the eye candy?

The end purposely went under the pulling blockers. Which is fine, depending on who was assigned contain - it can be the end (in which case he fucked up) or the LB (in which case he did his job). Typically ends are coached to lean into the pulling blockers to cram the play inside while keeping contain, but I've noticed more and more than ends (or "edges" now) are going underneath the pulling guard. If I remember, Ethan Burke did that as a freshman. Colin Simmons did it a lot last year too. I think kids are maybe just being coached differently these days.

I am hoping that Kreul is the next Brian Bosworth in all aspects of - douchiness, running his mouth, being a roid freak with some success that leads to OU fans rallying around every stupid thing he does, just being a very loud heel in general. I was hoping he’d be our version, but I’ll settle for the second coming on their end.

Looks very similar to AD.

He’s definitely most likely to wear a headband or some other dbag drip.

Been mentioned as a guy we're recruiting in the background. This is... not the best data point

 

Sounds like he's just taking all the "commit to us now bonuses"

I'm sure Malakai cares deeply about all of these penalties that Larry Ellison will write off on the "misc small charges" section of his personal budget

 

What a douche fuck

That's a $20 million fine.

10 year show cause for Harbaugh. 8 year show cause for Connor Stalions. Denard Robinson and head coach Sherrone Moore also hit with show cause penalties of 3 years and 2 years respectively. Moore is suspended for a third game. 

I'm not saying it's nothing as a punishment, but they just won a national championship. Is any of this really a deterrent for a program? That said, on September 6 Go Blue!

Slap on the wrist but we already knew the NCAA is that toothless hound that just lays on the front porch.

In fairness the Supreme Court cut off its balls and fed them to it.

I don't know if Michigan is going to file a lawsuit over this, but past history indicates they probably should if they want to get it reduced.

Could they sue? Sure — they’ve done it before. Should they? Probably not. An lawsuit might help negotiate a mitigated settlement or shave penalties, but proving damages would be exceedingly difficult, and there’s no injunctive relief left worth the cost of litigating (no obvious hair-on-fire hook to obtain quick court intervention).

Despite being a “repeat and aggravated Level I violator,” Michigan avoided a postseason ban. Without a postseason ban or other drastic enforcement action, courts are unlikely to intervene, much less enjoin. They generally defer to NCAA autonomy on discipline (unlike NIL compensation or athlete-rights policy, which they’re all to eager to jump right into).

Plus, Michigan’s own failure to cooperate in the investigation severely weakens its own case, and fighting over its own wrongdoing risks backfiring with regulators, the media, and the public. A less adversarial route — appealing directly to the NCAA — might have a better chance at reducing penalties or securing relief.

I said way up thread Kreul gave me the Krull vibes. If he starts wearing a mullet and throwing NeenJah stars all will be right with the world.
