Blue & Gold

Bad day for this to happen as tomorrow is signing day. I'm still seeing recruits tweeting that they'll be signing with OU tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Wait... we're still going to be ineligible next year?

I thought he was done anyway so I'm not even upset 😂

How we fare with our Big East brethren #8 UConn #21 Butler #22 St. John's #40 Akron #49 Seton Hall #53 Villanova #114 Xavier #118 Creighton #121 Georgetown #124 Providence #168 Marquette #178 DePaul

So we've got a verbal from a QB with offers from Syracuse, Alabama, Boston College, Colorado, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, Temple, UCONN, USC, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia among others... and a verbal from a WR with offers from Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Miami, Mississippi State, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, Pitt, Purdue, USF, Texas A&M, and West Virginia among others... 🧐

Post #1 updated 🔥

Kent State is tough, and Delrecco Gillespie is playing as well as anyone in the country. I think we're going to have to bring our B+ game to beat them & Amani's going to have to bring his A game.

Props to Yale. They played perfect basketball for an entire 40 minutes. 🤯 They made tough, contested shots, always found the open man out of a double-team, never cooled off from 3, made all 21 of their free throw attempts... ... and we still only lost by 3. Great game.

We spend $$$ and 3 years developing him & he has one good game for us and leaves.

+1 😞

Evansville down by 10 to Charleston at the beginning of the 2nd half. It looks like we were in the weaker of the two sides of the bracket. We'd better be ready to bring our A game tonight.

OL commit on official visit

Only through my blue-n-gold-colored glasses.😅 But no, not really.... certainly not as a freshman. I was surprised when word on the street was he might be starting last season prior to his injury. He played PG as a senior in HS, so has handles & high IQ. But he's grown a few inches & hasn't lost a step! 🤯

I've seen some posts online that the tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ... but that is Atlantic Standard Time. Tipoff for us is 5:30 EST. Don't complicate things for me, please. 😂

I was expecting Finley to hit the ground running this season but alas, we got a carbon copy of the 2024 Finley. Took him until MAC play to really start looking comfortable. I was truly disappointed at how uncomfortable he looked in our opener vs. Wyoming. Did Murphy's light finally come on?! He's such a physical specimen that I thought he'd be dominant last year, let alone this year. Bodes well for next season. Did we ever get word on Catrell White's injury. He looked electric in the 1st Q vs. Wyoming but went down with an injury & never played another snap this season, did he?

Last night I was all about #FireUpChips

Has Matt Kaulig sunk into the woodwork since JoeMo's been here? I'm in no inner circles, but I haven't heard from him in a while. Is he not a huge JoeMo fan?

Going off what?

I'm stoked to see JoeMo's read-option finally run with a dual threat QB. That's kinda the whole point of the scheme. Finley wasn't keeping too many defenses off balance with his playmaking ability. 😂 But our Dual Threats are only going to be a redshirt freshman & a true freshman, so... yeah.

This is another reason I'm very hesitant to knock JoeMo. This year was Year 4 but... it was really more like Year 1 than Year 4. Next year will be Year 1 all over again. Every year is Year 1. I hate it.

I also went to YSU & was impressed with the arena. Looked a lot like what the JAR would look like with permanent chair back seating. Makes a tremendous difference.
