My bad. He did well with Book. Besides that, it was awful. 2022 was position mismanagement.
Position management and development aren't same thing right.

He got 9 wins from captain frump. That's saying something. Will be interesting to see how well he does at ASU. Rees could come out looking real good.

Has anyone heard any rumblings on potential captains this year? Do they announce them after camp?

The more I think about Hartman + this OL the more I question whether Rees going to Bama was the right long term move. He probably could've parlayed this upcoming season into a HC gig at a P5 school.
That's exactly what i've said from the moment he left. The only reason it makes sense is to follow up saban, not for a better opportunity as an OC.

I personally don't think Tommy and MF were as close as people lead on.

I don't think MF was that pissed when he left. I also don't think MF thought he'd end up with Parker either.

I'd assume Alt, Bertrand, Hart, and Audric are pretty much locks. Curious if Hartman gets a nod as a one and done transfer, but he'll be a leader of this squad regardless.

I can't remember the last time there appeared to be so little competition across the depth chart at the start of camp (maybe I'm just overthinking this becasue there's no QB competition for once?). Seems like most of the youngsters will be vying for #2 spots, but outside of Safety (Watts/Henderson and Brown/Carter), and maybe nickel corner between Harper and Lewis, the defense seems pretty much set.

Offensively, maybe there will be some competition at WR if Greathouse, James or Flores could push someone like Merriweather or Colzie, but I don't see it, at least not initially. So, backup WR and RB will be interesting, TE may take some time to develop, but pretty much no drama across the board.

I agree.

I think it's a great way to build depth and keep the bodies fresh to try to build 1b's or 2's right now. I think MF referred to that yesterday too

I honestly don't think they need to do that.
Mostly the same 10 or so people who send most of the super hats — often $20 or more at a pop, day after day. I know nobody who would throw money away at that clip. But there is also a possibility that I’m some combination of cheap and cynical. 🙂

Some of them are parents of players.

Last year the Ademilola’s & another parent used to playfully compete by dropping increasingly larger amounts of money on the show. Sometimes $100 at a single superchat.

But they have a VERY loyal following.
That’s why I say it’s cultish.

That seems odd. To me, you'd want your player leaders and those holding each other accountable to have a presence throughout fall camp. But that's just me.

Those who are captain material will lead throughout all of camp.

But I think captains are announced a couple weeks before the season starts.

Right I get that, and I'm sure most people know who to go to as far as captains. That said, there's credibility to having the "C" on your chest.

I can’t stand listening to Driskell for more than 10 minutes at a time. He just yacks to hear himself. He’s actually pretty knowledgeable and thoughtful in his takes, but beats them to death for hours on end.
