I'm hoping we consolidate some of those funds and get 1 higher end RT. The OL seems close (IMO) to being decent but that RT position could haunt us.

Do you think Nike makes massive ROI on their investment into Oregon? If yes, it would seem strange why they wouldn't do this with 8-10 more teams.

Just as an FYI, I don't expect it to mean much, but UND's (Fruechte was OC) offense last year was more of a traditional RPO - Spread.

This was a guy I was worried about. Pumped he's back.

Most of them.

Texas played in the semi-finals last year and they went 13-3. They went 12-2 the year before that (top 5 in the country) and 10-3 this year. You don't think they have a better chance of playing in big games, CFP and winning next year than the Gophers? If he goes to USC or Florida, sure, it's...

I can't disagree with your skepticism. He did struggle at times last year and he'd be competing with the next wave of safeties that are currently depth at Ohio State. Those goods were all similar level recruits to Koi. So I don't necessarily disagree with your skepticism, I just think he ends...

This is why I think it will be Ohio State. They want a ton of versatile players all over the field (safeties who can cover, play the run, blitz). It's a similar defense to the Vikings now or the Patriots a few years ago. It's not really traditional safety. I just look at Ohio State and they...

No, I'm just joking. It's hard to read sarcasm online and nearly impossible to flag it on a forum like this where we are bombarded with the hottest of hot takes.

Can you list more than 8 first round WRs they've put out in the last 5 years?

You'll never catch me saying that I think PFF is great. As far as missed tackle being a missed tackle, I think you and I disagree on this. Not all missed tackles are the same.

You laugh now, but you wait until Koi has start paying for his own butterknife steak at Murrays.

These PFF grades are interesting but I wouldn't rely on them too much. There is a ton of interesting debate (including a rant by some former Gopher TE recruit named JJ Watt) about why it doesn't make sense. One of the main issues is that it does not really factor in scheme. For example, if a...

I think he ends up at Ohio State and they're usually pretty light at WR, so he might get some run.

Koi didn't have the number of splash plays he had for us last year but he was way better than a lot of folks in this thread are giving him credit. He was asked to do a ton of things - play in the box, play deep zone, play man-to-man, he blitzed quite a bit. He was very versatile.

I have no idea what it's about but I think it's impossible to separate playing for the "money" from playing for a "contender". I'm guessing he ends up at Ohio State and plays the position that Caleb Downs is currently playing for them. He's obviously not going to go somewhere he isn't going to...

If we are talking about athletics, it's impossible to separate winning from "pomp and circumstance". By pomp and circumstance, I assume you mean that they get to play in the biggest games with the brightest spotlights. I don't see how that is any different than winning.

Becht must be heading to Penn State.

No, not at all. I think most people write an article when they have a point. It's odd to write an article that says "it's fine but it wasn't as good as 1960 and it could be better". That's a strange choice of an article. Think of the things in your life that you usually would think were...

I know the stats might not be there for their entire careers but Wilie Vandesteeg and Jon Schlecht had great single seasons.
