All of the insiders mention he’s from Oklahoma every time his name comes up.Apparently, Okie State has made Hawkins a priority. A lot of people think he’s locked in there. OU on the other hand is apparently competing with FSU for some APB named Avant out of Colorado State. He had 400 yards last season. The mods are saying that OU thinks Blaylock and Robinson are as good a tandem as they could ever want, especially with Hatton showing up for young depth. Of course, the mods are also having to skirt around saying that OU is not expected to be much of a player in the TP overall this year. I guess we’ll see if that’s true.
23 hours ago23 hr Clark surprised me yesterday. Sometimes, it takes a good long while to come back from an injury even when you are cleared physically. Perhaps the extra month of practice and getting RB1 reps were what Clark needed to regain confidence. Like others, I don't think you can bet on one game, but it is encouraging. We, uh, just need the, uh, coaching staff to make a good evaluation here regarding portal acquisitions.I was also happy with the wood the secondary brought. There were a few too many easy passes, but they are young and just coming off an Akina season. Will be fun to see how they show up for the first part of next season.Miami proves once again that if you have the dominant O-line or D-line in the country, you stand a good chance of winning it all--or at least a critical game. Sark often talks about building out from the interior, so we'll see if he stays true to that philosophy with this year's portal. I hope so. And with that, I'm ready to travel the vast wilderness of arcane topics and horrible opinions that is the Surly off-season. Hook 'em!

23 hours ago23 hr We initially recruited him heavily, then he ended up being a locker room cancer at OU, and now he's out the door at Louisville.

He missed or played poorly against any other defense that could fog a mirror and did the same shit in 2024. I think the guy is a pussy and paper tiger.Definitely didn't watch him much this year. I think he can fill the 2024 Jaydon Blue role though

We, uh, just need the, uh, coaching staff to make a good evaluation here regarding portal acquisitions.I also wonder if knowing he was going to be the primary back in the game made a difference. When you know it's mainly you being the guy, you're more likely to step up. More of a "Do or Die" kind of motivation. Whatever the reason, he damn sure did step up. Happy for him.Which leads me to the question, why didn't Simon get any touches? Is he fumbling in practice, suck at pass pro or both. He did flash some earlier this season.

I think he can fill the 2024 Jaydon Blue role thoughI think he’d be way better than Blue because he’s capable of running inside and holding onto the ball. He’d probably be the best RB on campus unless Clark is coming into his own or Cooper is ready right out of the gate and is amazing. I just think there are better guys to target without the issue of soft tissue “injuries” sidelining them every time someone puts their hat on them.

23 hours ago23 hr Just now, Pato del Muerto said:Why the fuck would it take that much to get him?It doesn’t, it’s probably half that number. No one is spending a third of their “legally allowed” money on one player. And I don’t think the Pokes are playing big boy games off the books. So I’d bet $3.5mil is way more accurate, if not still a little high.

I think the guy is a pussy and paper tiger.I didn't watch any Louisville games so full disclaimer there, but Brown averaged >5ypc every game except one (Pitt) this year. Keyjuan Brown was their next highest carrier (5 fewer than Isaac) and he also had an impressive 7.3 ypc. He also averaged 7 ypc last year as a true freshman on 165 carries with only 3 games <5 ypc (and in two of those he only had 2 and 3 carries). 7.6 and 150 yards vs Clemson, 6.8 and 178 vs Kentucky, 117 vs SMU.Again, I won't claim to be an expert but the numbers don't look like feeding off junk food to me.
22 hours ago22 hr Imo Baugh + Brown would be the absolute dream combo. It sounds too good/expensive to be true but Bobby is very much hinting that it could happen:

I hope so.And with that, I'm ready to travel the vast wilderness of arcane topics and horrible opinions that is the Surly off-season. Hook 'em!A few years ago I started mentally tracking RB’s who had been thru ACL and Achilles surgeries, partially because I’ve been through two acl surgeries myself. I noticed a very clear trend of much better performance in the 2nd or 3rd year after coming back, as compared to the first year. The Cowboys Williams is an example of that, who finally looked good again in year three. Along those same lines, those that didn’t comeback strong by year three were permanently worse. Don’t know if we are seeing that 2 year performance bump with Clark, but he looked like a completely different player. What I can’t reconcile is that before he got hurt he didn’t look very good.
