Simpson had a decent year, but I'm not seeing the same buzz that the draft experts (legitimate and otherwise) are seeing. If I'm him (and obviously I'm not because he is younger, more talented, and better-looking than I am), I go back for my senior year. There's always the possible downside of...

Agree, but (and maybe I'm in the minority) I don't think Becht is a top-tier QB.

I think Bryan will be missed at a level. I thought he would play better in 2025 after doing fairly well in 2024. I can never figure out why some of the receivers we recruit don't blossom. I thought Lanier was going to be a very good deep threat but it wasn't to be. Is that a miss in...

I think there is a distinct difference in raw athletic ability. I had to look it up, but Tune's Relative Athletic Score was 9.81 (out of 10). Of course, that doesn't mean all that much. Brock Purdy's was 4.51. I think Brosmer is someone who sticks around for a few years as a #3/Practice...

Max looking pretty good in the last exhibition game of the season. The Packers should actually be fined for the team they put on the field today.

Thanks for the correction. I knew it was tOSU and thought Pryor, but maybe I'm thinking of the free tattoos. Can you remember all the angst over free tattoos and a decade or so later, players are getting money enough to buy a dozen tattoo parlors.

In the vein of Terrelle Pryor, more and more guys are not going to college to play school.

Can anyone calculate a quick percentage of the number of players in the portal compared to the total number of scholarship players currently on rosters?

General College during the Warmath era was a landing spot for some of his recruits. I can remember Sid going on and on about how the elimination of General College would kill the athletics program. He also thought the U should create a sports management major like they had at Michigan. Every...

I didn't realize that Harden was a true freshman and did not redshirt.

He's listed as the 7th-best prospect in the portal on ESPN but they may have been using the Thamel tweet as an indication that he is or intends to be in the portal.

True and he was probably too busy doing research for The Rally to follow up with his source.

True at a level and he will certainly be watched more closely at a helmet school and both the good and bad will be seen an analyzed. He won't be under the radar. He's going to play safety at the next level and if he's a top-drawer safety, he won't be returning kicks. Cooper Dejean is the...

Agree (but without the sarcasm and wish Perich had stayed) and I'm not going to dis Perich. None of us are Koi Perich and the decision is all his. We don't know the exact calculus that went into his decision and we have to leave it there. It's his future and in the current college football...

I don't disagree with your point about him being visible here, but if he goes to a helmet school he'll be playing for a team that will likely be in a featured game every week and the talking heads will be babbling about him incessently. Image boost.

A-f*ckin-men! I don't know how much faith I put in Mike Max, but in his segment last night he said the Gophers offer to Perich was seven figures and that Perich is going to play one more year of college ball and then declare for the draft. I am not Nostradamus, but I had the impression (minus...

Or blame the NCAA for not getting ahead of this prior to Ed O'Bannon's lawsuit.

And Vulcan ears!

You don't have to be particularly bright to know the difference between "<" and ">."

Not all folks south of the Mason-Dixon line are hillbillies and you'll note that I wrote "Minnesota equivalent" to describe my early years.
