  1. It is pretty much best case scenario for us. We have a solid secondary and it seems a very much improving LD/DE corps. Where we have trouble stacking up against P5 teams is size and that means our run game and their run game. It will be interesting to see our RBs can get any space, especially in the first half. Kato will have a chance to prove he can let the game come to him instead of forcing the action against Nebraska. Let's hope his 2017 experience taught him a few things...and that Lavar can keep out of the picture.
  2. Here is Coe's Kohl's profile: https://kohlskicking.com/national-player-ratings/kickers/2019 A #21 ranking by Kohl's at this point in his career is a very good rating.
  3. I pretty much agree about the defense. I think we need the run game of Kato is easily neutralized. If we have a run game, Kato becomes a serious threat if he stops trying to do too much.
  4. Drove from Sioux Falls through Cedar Rapids and into Illinois earlier this week. I believe my route was about 20 minutes from the area hit by the tornadoes. Beautiful farmland. West Des Moines is a good area with lots of food and lodging choices, all right off of the Interstate. It's a do-able day drive from CLE without being exhausted.
  5. Honestly, he needs to shut up and find a job. Time to move on, Jerome.
  6. Also, he mentioned family issues, so he may apply for a hardship waiver.
  7. He's fast: Fort Myers 14 Year Old Sets National Record And he has some legit offers.... Maybe the UA practice of letting kids be dual sport athletes paid off, again?
  8. All 6 are deserving of the recognition. That remains to be seen. One game does not an MVP make.
  9. The players will love the chance to play in the Shoe.
  10. Less than impressive. Only kicking profile was Prokicker, which is an OK organization, but they did not rank him (they only rank top 25) does not appear to have ever been a Kohl's kicker. Hi kicks would be no better than Gasser, when you move the ball back to the 35. I know there was a Kohl's top 50 kid planning a visit. He has a good looking leg.
  11. I think Jerome could still make it but I doubt he will take the steps necessary. He would need to connect and pay out of pocket to workout with a serious WR trainer and devote himself to study and hard work. I think if he were going to go that route, we would have seen evidence of it, by now. It's a shame that his response it to blame shift. He has a lot of natural talent, but he is not an exceptional talent, by NFL standards.
  12. Then you probably don't understand how difficult it is. It is as much of a science as kicking and punting and you can't just take a kid who has not been trained by a specialist and expect him to have the speed and accuracy needed to achieve the operation time necessary for D1 play. . A bad snap can cost you a game every bit as much as a missed kick or a lousy punt.
  13. Most college special teams coordinators know essentially nothing about the specialists (kicker, punter, and long snapper.) Unless they have the payroll to bring in someone with a background in one of these areas. G6 teams typically dont have that kind of budget. The most important thing that the Zips could do is go offer a top 50 prospect from Kohl's kicking for both punter and kicker and do the same for a Rubio lobgsnapper and offer them an outright scholarship, not a scholarship once they have won the job. I don"t see that happening.
  14. TB has never hid his religious tendencies and there have been team prayers, I believe,l since he arrived. IIRC, Justin March said something to the effect that it was a easier time be a Christian on the team after TB arrived. TB shares his life philosophy just like PJ Fleck shared his. If there is a problem, it would likely come from an outsider and I am not sure why people who are not team members have an issue with a team prayer unless they are really religiously intolerant, honestly. With all that is wrong with the world, opioid addictions increasing teen suicide rates, violence, and other issues, a team prayer should be the least of anyone's worries.
  15. Great news. He really showed himself to be a team guy while he spent last year rehabbing
  16. I like adding a Kentucky OOC game. Nice exposure against a team we compete against for recruits. I could live without UMASS, although I have heard it's a great road trip game.
  17. A 1-3 OOC is a rough way to start but it should help line the coffers.
  18. If I were the AD, I would approach attendance with a design think8bg (Human Centered Design) approach. They are trying to solclve this from an athlete's point of view. We have t9 go a different route and be a little more systematic than the piece-meal approach we have taken. I think the Texas AD is taking things in the right direction, for his program.

  19. You have a valid point. There are a lot more Volunteer fans in TN than Titans fans. Tennessee has decased where UT was always the best game in town.
  20. He did not clear Kohl's top 100. Bowden needs to pony up scholarships for kickers instead of this PW for average kickers. The kicking game was a total disaster in 2017. Gasser did better than O'Leary, but with a pretty limited range.
  21. He got a nice shoutout from Taylor on Twitter.
  22. I am going to go out on a limb and say that RB Abraham Alce might be the best freshman recruit since JB1.
