I’m surprised as well, I did not think we were in good position to land him. If we can put together a competitive NIL package for him I think we should be in the driver seat. Keep in mind while Alabama may have the larger budget, they have to spread it across 15-20 blue chip recruits AND meet...

Not sure if it’s by design or if this is even accurate, but it sure seems like the staff focuses heavily on those high three star, borderline four star type players. Seems like this has shifted away from chasing higher rated guys when Fleck first started here.

To me the number one is still QB play.

Just feels like the media has convinced some of our fans to think the last ten years have been a fluke or something. We’ve been the better program, we still are the better program until they prove otherwise. I get it’s hard to believe after 50 years of them being dominant, but that program...

I would think we’d be favored against Cal. Last I saw they are planning to start a true freshman at QB. At home vs Nebraska should be a win as well. Zero reason to have the expectation to lose to Nebraska at this point. Why should Nebraska be favored? Won’t Perich, Anthony Smith, Taylor...

At least he already has the offers and OVs set up, so we don’t have to hear the dumb, “he gone!” comments people make whenever someone picks up an offer from a blue blood after committing.

Awesome get, I think the linebacker room is one area where there is some room to make a step up which could help this program get to that next level. A game changer or two there would be huge!

But to get one from out of state, much less as far away as Arizona is impressive!

Very little buzz on him going into his third year here. Hopefully works out for both parties.

Regardless of 40 No, but could Bucky take on 320 carries in a season? Both great college backs, but they have different strengths. I’d say Mo was the tougher runner, not that Bucky was a slouch for his size. Bucky definitely was quicker and more agile.

They don’t play any team they have ranked in their top 20 so that could be part of it.

Best long speed runner Fleck has brought in was probably Bryce Williams. He didn’t have the vision to exploit it often though. Zeke kind of seems like a Rodney Smith clone.

Hate to be him hitting the portal in a year or two after not playing and burning that bridge. Must not have learned much from Sheduer.

Just doesn’t display it on the junior hudl highlights in my opinion.

I agree on the physical tools, doesn’t seem to have that 5th gear, and isn’t a beast size wise, but I like his vision and agility and he runs hard. Also displays plus receiving skills. But yeah he seems to fit the Fleck mold. PJ doesn’t seem to worry about speed too much at rb.
