    Probably also depends on how high they value a guy like Verse. Despite the need to surround CW with talent, they also need to bolster their pass rush. Sweat is good, but him alone isn't enough.

    Really hard to draw conclusions on the OL. They're basically running out two patchwork jobs. 1s mixed in with 2s.

    I mean, he had shoulder surgery about a month ago. Generally, a patient is going to wear a sling for 4-6 weeks post-surgery. So I imagine he'll be out of it pretty soon, and will slowly be worked back in during summer workouts.

    From what I heard and saw, "average" is putting it mildly.

    I don't think they're even close to being done with the investigation into the Stalions crap. This reeks of a situation where the deeper down the rabbit hole, the more shit they're gonna find.

    2024 Spring Practice Thread

    Matt at ISD mentioned that by this point in the spring, the defense pretty much knows the offensive checks, because that's all they are practicing. So basically, the defense is working with Connor Stallions level intel at this point.

    '25 KY DE Javeon Campbell (Offer)

    I don't get the argument about his coaching. Cross and Mills weren't the level of players they are at now back in 2021 when Elston was coach. Washington 100% played a major role in developing them into the great tandem of DTs they are now, not to mention the improvements shown from guys like...

    II's reports don't seem to add up with what ISD was reporting. ISD reported that the OL was relatively solid. Good in run blocking, but the tackles did struggle a bit in pass protection. Most of the struggles came from the 2's and 3's. It's not great, but I don't think it's anywhere near...

    '25 KY DE Javeon Campbell (Offer)

    Some of these takes man...y'all need to chill. It sucks, but we have 4 quality DL commits in fold right now, with Reiff, Burgess, Dixon and Hulak. Having to pull away from Shanklin and apparently Campbell sucks, but this notion that Washington isn't cutting it, when we just had a season...

    I don't think they trade up. I think they go with BPA and it wouldn't surprise me to see them prioritize edge rusher or OL over WR.

    This is Michigan we're talking about. The bar of ethics for them might as well be in the Mariana Trench.

    I can't say I agree. You pretty much said it yourself. A&M fans are welcoming and accommodating. They'll be loud and electric. It'll be a very tough environment for sure. Miami was...as you mentioned. It was toxic and violent. Miami fans had finally tasted success for the first time in 15...

    Damn. Michigan out here having some semblance of ethics. If he were with the White Sox, Jerry may have just given him a promotion.

    According to reports, he's dealing with an injury. Not serious, but it sounds like the staff is being cautious.

    '25 NV WR Derek Meadows (Alabama Verbal)

    What's happened with Colzie and Merriweather aren't really the same. Colzie came in with much work left to do in terms of receiving mechanics. Good speed and great size, but he was fairly stiff in the hips and needed to develop his route running. The injuries haven't helped him in his...

    Yep. It's a raw deal for Fields, but it is what it is. The "disservice" is the Bears stupidly giving Pace and Nagy an extra year they didn't deserve. Pace was glued by the hip to the Trubisky pick. The second that fell through, that should've been it for him and for Nagy. It's sheer...

    '25 IL LB Dominik Hulak (Notre Dame Signee)

    Saying this post can't be serious and then you write this tripe. It's pretty much universal that Botelho was injured and it wasn't just the typical nicks and bumps. He was noticeably less explosive for practically all of last year. We've seen his explosiveness and his ability to pass rush at a...

    '25 IL LB Dominik Hulak (Notre Dame Signee)

    Unsuprisingly, I disagree wholly with a lot of the takes on Hulak. People saying he's another Botelho, which...okay? Botelho is a good player and a dominant pass rusher when healthy. It's pretty much a known fact that he played injured all of last year and had he been healthy, he would've been...
