Sumlin's first 2 weeks was full of social media hype and excitement from kids too, including the "this kid only considered us cause of Sumlin." Still gotta get the right kids and coach em up right. I'm pleased to see some momentum but I sure hope it is different than what we've seen in the past. I ...

Scheer just tweeted Boobie Curry is staying. Coaching staff doing some work! Very much would have preferred finding a way to bring back Berryhill instead. Boobie was on the field a lot last year, probably more than any other WR, and only had 10 catches. We could still use the SJSU receiver if he is...

Agree to disagree, seeing as how I have seen it with my own eyes. I've already gone on long enough about a game I have never played myself.

I'm not a gamer, but even with GTA, I think GTA 5 is the big one, not Vice City.

Vice City is in GTA 5, at least that's what my teenage kids have told me.

Vice City came out before our recruits were born

Vice City is prevalent in the GTA online which is played now by many teenagers.

Also, wasn’t there a Miami vice remake a few years ago?
The Jamie Fox/Colin Ferrell movie? That came out when our current recruits were 3 years old.

The majority of our recruits will think this is a reference to GTA, which should still resonate with them.

2 star Trevan Wade coming home? He could coach corners and let Cecil Coach safeties. Need a DC/ LB coach and special teams unless that is by committee? Paopao will certainly be involved in the Special Teams. Doubt they hire a designated ST coach. So far I am fairly optimistic with the hires on Offe...

Grade? I'd give it a C+. I like the Carroll and Dougherty additions. The offensive staff I would give much higher, A- or B+ sounds right. The HC and Defensive staff so far are another story. I would give the hires there a D- at this time. Maybe we surprise and fill up the defensive staff well. Also...

There's a huge meaty story out there illuminating how and why Arizona/Miller has been targeted while more egregious and habitual offenders have gotten a pat on the back. But the sports media world is seemingly too insular and defensive for any journalist of weight to take it on. Arizona had the aud...

It was disappointing to me at first, now hearing Fisch is in the final running I would be ecstatic with Brennan. Well played Robbins, well played.

Who's more washed, Chow or Mazzone? Mazzone is more of a never was, he has had a career of failure yet continues to get jobs.

Should we be at all worried that Brennan's one year of success was primarily due to having a QB who started at two different SEC schools leading the team this year? By that I mean, was his success this year related more to the having a QB who would be considered a man among boys in the MWC? Peyton M...

The scuttlebutt is that contract details are being worked through with the agent of 1A. If certain things can’t be agreed to, we’ll move on to 1B. If those things can be agreed to, we’ll have a new coach before Christmas. If not, it may take longer but definitely before New Years. For the record I ...

I completely disagree. This year, our line never game him protection worth squat. QBs like Gunnell are hard to come by. We need him. Hope he changes his mind. By like Gunnell, you mean immobile with questionable arm strength? Gunnell is generally a good decision maker, but his physical tools leave ...

Terrell Brown, I'm encouraged he's abandoned the low efficiency jacking he did at Seattle. He's turned into a rotation guy who feeds others with low TO's and plays some D. It could be much worse. The one thing I have been really impressed by with Terrell Brown is he hits the defensive glass hard, t...

Daily deaths are about half what they were in April and mortality rates are a fraction of what they were at that time.

So Ira Lee and Terrell Brown get an extra year of eligibility. What is the likelihood these guys stat and how does that effect our '21 class?

So Mashack is off the board, how far down the list are we now? That is at least 6 swings (Mashack, Silva, Watson, Hickman, Gregg [likely], Banchero [reach], Australian guys and the other guys with limited interest) and misses of various degrees and has me a little worried. I am sure we will get qual...

Finally we are deciding to put an end to this $50 (?) Million dollar mistake who has brought our beloved conference to the brink of irrelevancy.

gronk4heisman

So back to back years of strike outs on all the top guys? Is this a truly concerted effort to not recruit one and dones or are we in a recruiting slump? Multiple year players are great but I still think you need a few stars to win big.

Seeing as how I am in the Bay Area and can attest personally to the high cost of rent in this area, ASUHATER you are wrong. Especially if the picture of the house they rented is accurate.

16 of the top 21 paid players the NBA this season played college ball for two or more years. Why 21 instead of 20? Because Lillard is the 21st and he has the highest contract of all time. Without him it would be 15 out of the top 20. 13 of the top 21 biggest contracts are by O&D players (excluding ...

The biggest disappointment I have with what Dalen said is not that he wants to be a one and done, it is that feeling it gives me (which we have seen way to much recently) that if he perceives he is not being showcased how he wants he will be quick to leave either through transfer or to the G League/...

Yes. Damon had weed wrapped in tin foil, because apparently he didn't think that would raise flags with TSA. LOL

Pretty sure the weed at the airport was Damon not JET. And the tattoo was a motivation for himself and the team, which may not seem level headed to you but seems to have worked out well.

So a class of 4 guys in the 45 - 65 range, that is a good range to build long term. Hopefully we can retain and develop these guys along with Tibet and Batcho.

Baker has played two years, he does not need to apply for a medical redshirt he can just use a normal redshirt for his Freshman year in which he didn't play.

Who knows how good Alabama is going to be in 12 years, I would expect Saban is gone by then and they could be on a downturn like the years before Saban got there.

OAD's who are actual OAD talents are worth it (Ayton, Lauri, Gordon). It is the OAD's who are not who I would consider a OAD talent but still only stay one year who are not worth it (Nico, Josh, Kobi, Stanley, Jerrett). The hard part is figuring out where the recruits fall, though I would argue Ayto...

Brandon Williams: - Only player not mentioned by Miller in season recap presser - if knee is ok to go, makes no sense to waste time using it for free - Recruiting strategy makes it seem as if we are expecting 1 more to leave - Miller has yet to hear from Williams/Williams’ side since end of season,...

Is this being discussed in premium? I have not seen anything anywhere other than the comments here from Choo.

He will be fighting for those minutes and contracts as a backup PG with guys like TJ McConnell. How long do guys who are unable to contribute stay in the League? How many get that second contract? I highly doubt he is going to be a high pick so wherever he ends up, that team will have very little in...

Just start making a list of guys who are already in the NBA, or will soon be, who you expect to be better than Nico three years from now, provided they’re healthy. List gets pretty long, pretty quickly. He’s a backup PG at best. Imagine him trying to guard CP3, Westbrook, Steph, Lillard, Kyrie, Wal...

gronk4heisman

This draft class is pretty deep with PG's, based on the eye test there are more than 10 PG's I would take before taking a risk with Nico. I would think it is more likely than not that he falls into the second round. I am not an NBA GM though so maybe there is something that I am missing.

The 2020 class on the west coast was weird this year to put it nicely. That greatly impacted our recruiting for this class.

Choo - Can you speak to play style of the Euro Big? Is he a stretch 4/5 (Lauri, Frye (NBA)), low post scorer (Zeke, Jordan Hill), defensive protetector (Koloko, Loren Woods), a high energy workhorse (Ira, Edgerson) or just a freak (Ayton)?
