Fify

I almost said “1 out of 10 Golden Tate receptions made Taylor Mays look like a bitch”

Until you realized it was 1 out of 5.

Much like a wrestler avoiding a takedown, he takes his legs away from the tackler when he can.

Interesting. Whatever it was, it stood out.

Trying to rekindle that recruiting spotlight. Will he hold a PC at VT to announce his decision? lol

Old Dominion has a football team?

Old Dominion has a football team?

Indeed they do, they beat VT last year.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Indeed they do, they beat VT last year.

Is their inclusion just trolling?

Indeed they do, they beat VT last year.

So he may follow the old philosophy "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"?

PSU got a transfer from FSU in former 5 * WR George Campbell, apparently they still plan to pursue Kumah though

Hopefully we make his next Top 4 announcement

II podcast reported today that Notre Dame is no longer seeking Kumah.

That's actually good news, because it's because the freshmen WR are looking more than up to the task and they don't think they'll need him.

I was just thinking about this and the latest no buzz from him made me believe we moved on and liked what we had. He's not taking Claypool spot and I don't want him taking Kevin Austin's reps.

 

[Luckylucci]

Good call on the post, he’s got no spot on this team. We got a lot of young guys ready to make plays.

This would seem to be a good sign for Kevin Austin's future in particular, right? If he were a real transfer/trouble risk, they'd more likely want Kumah for insurance.

From the spring practice thread:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Brian Kelly was asked about Kevin Austin, who came back to earth a bit on Saturday.<br><br>"Extremely talented player … But I think people know that there’s more than just talent in this evaluation process of guys that are gonna play. He needs to bring more to it than just talent."</p>— Pete Sampson (@PeteSampson_) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteSampson_/status/1109512898404061184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 23, 2019</a></blockquote>

From the spring practice thread:

Yeah. What I'm saying is, if the staff didn't think Austin was getting that message, they'd be more likely to take Kumah, who could fill a similar role in our offense, as insurance in case he doesn't make it. Passing on Kumah would suggest their confidence in Austin - and his ability to mature enough to see the field - is growing.
Or so I'd like to think.

Transferring to Old Dominion. If you can't beat em...

 

[SoIll]

..the fvck

 

[KizerWilhelm]

Now I wonder if "we're just happy with what we already have at WR" was diplomacy on ND's part, and they were just underwhelmed by Kumah.
