They are not gospel, but they are not nothing. And no I would say Sneed definitely has a shot at WILL. He’s now 230 (same as KVA), and would probably be our highest ceiling alignment to have Bowen and Sneed start and KVA back up both.
I'll bet you a 100 Schrute bucks KVA starts. Or a million Stanley nickels. Whichever you prefer.

When they operate with 3 LBs, Sneed is most likely the guy. I love Sneed and hope he is a monster this year but KVA played a lot as a true freshman in critical moments, despite being banged up. Sneed is in his 4th year and continues to improve but KVA is far more likely to take a big step moving into his true sophomore season.

What's the conversion of Schrute bucks to vBucks (RIP) ?

In fairness to PSU, most NFL 2026 draft previews show PSU with a large number of players likely to be drafted. For example, draft buzz has Allar, DDS, and AJ Harris a projected 1st round picks. They also project Durant, Singleton, Campbell and Allen to round out the top 100 picks. Only Clemson has more projected 1st round picks (4) and Alabama and Texas tie PSU with 3 a piece. 7 projected top 100 players ties Alabama for 1st. I'm as skeptical of Allar as anybody -- I think he's Kurtis Rourke (IU QB) on a better team -- but their roster is legit.

TBH, beating PSU shows how great a job Freeman did in coaching the Orange Bowl. In terms of NFL talent, ND didn't deserve to be on the field with PSU.
No way those three guys are first rounders. DDS may be close but he’s not close to Carter level. He’s not even close to Foskey.

Harris is fine but not all that impressive. He got Moss’d by Mitch Evans and had a missed tackle against Aneyas Williams in our game. Did he shut down OSU or something to deserve these accolades?

I wouldn’t rule out Sneed starting. They will rotate those guys quite a bit so the starter is more nominal than anything. They may give the title to the Senior even if KVA gets more snaps total

I’m not sifting through 17 pages, but a couple
of questions:

- The obvious, what’s the QB battle looking like? Has one separated himself from the other or still neck and neck?
- Who is slated to fill in for Xavier Watts? Any thoughts on his replacement? Watts was a ball hawk.
- Has Ausberry secured a starting LB spot?
- Who will be RB 2? I’m on record for being a big Aneyas Williams supporter… just curious if he’s still neck and neck with Price? What about the other guys (excluding the obvious, J Love).

There will be plenty who have answers but in reality, not nearly enough info on any of this. It's all too much made of so little.

When did Williams close the gap and get to be neck and neck with Price?

-no
-ongoing competition
-i would guess Ausberry is closer to LB4 than LB2
-Price is way better than Williams. Never knew why people said they are neck and neck
