I wasn't that impressed when I watched Moore play. Was it just me? He seems talented, but does not seem like that good of a QB yet. He seemed to benefit by being surrounded by so much talent. I can't believe he would have actually been drafted that high.

Maybe he just wants to play football? He took a shot at a B1G program and thought maybe he could be the guy sooner rather than later. He now knows that's not the case. He has more information now than he did as a high schooler. Riding the bench sucks especially for guys not used to it (like...

With these types of numbers getting thrown around, I’m even happier we were able to keep Drake and not surprised at all we lost Koi. https://balldurham.com/darian-mensah-decision-to-transfer-proves-duke-football-cannot-compete-with-elite

Good advice. Don't jump on the bandwagon and buy the jersey of the hot new kid, because he might be gone next year! Buy an established Gopher great jersey or the jersey of a senior...with no previous Jr college experience.😜

I agree. He can drop down a level and likely start and then come right back up to P4 if he's good and get a really big bag of money because teams will actually have tape on him. Seems logical to me.

Just wondering, how does this type of thing affect jersey sales in the future? Who wants to buy a player’s jersey when they could just leave the next year? Wouldn’t that make you more likely to buy generic team merchandise or nothing at all? In the past, if they were good young, you could...

Big Ten dunks on SEC in college football coaching carousel. That's the cold truth https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/big-ten-dunks-sec-college-171828053.html The above article opened my eyes to how good the coaching is likely to be in the B1G. “UCLA went the Group of Five route with Chesney...

Penn State is pulling a Cignetti and doubling up! No need to waste money paying 18-year olds when you can just raid all the best players from your last team!

I think you might be overrating the SEC.

Some have said maybe Howard bulks up and plays a little DT. Smith is so big could he do the same? It might help his draft stock if he shows some added versatility. Matt Kingsbury is 6-3/230 as a sophomore and showed some pass rushing chops. Maybe he plays a little DE. Do we have a surprise...

This is very interesting! PFF of 59.4 is shocking. I did not realize it. SJUgopher's post #527 is also interesting, "I honestly think if he wasn’t who he was, he would’ve lost his starting spot." He might have even had some heat on him from younger guys coming up. On GGR, Burns mentioned...

Crown him king if you'd like. I'm not ready yet even if they do win the national title...which I think and hope they do. A lot of their success is him, but it might not be all him. He may have finally gotten a little lucky too - Mendoza is absolutely amazing, mega wealthy donors available to...

Maybe he just likes to travel?

I think you're onto something. He's showing us being a legendary Gopher was not that important to him. It was just important to us. A lot of people worshiped him and are burning him at the stake now. Maybe he never wanted to be worshiped in the first place? Burns on the GGR podcast said he...

I listened to the same podcast. We lost a kid with a lot of potential at a position of strength. Get someone that is 90% of Koi that doesn’t freelance because he knows he can’t get away with it, shore up some weaker areas of the defense, and maybe it’s actually better next year. Another...

I agree. Cignetti needs to do this a bit longer before I crown him king. He is obviously an excellent coach! Because he's an excellent coach, he brought many of his best players from JMU to Indiana and kept a lot of their roster and so sort of doubled up for a year on talent. Then the money...

He has a lot of talent, but definitely some things to clean up. Will that happen in one year with a new program? I guess we'll see. I will miss his chase down tackles from behind. ESPN rates him as the seventh best prospect in the portal. The description makes it obvious they are basing...

I agree completely. Safety isn't a premium position unless you're just lights out and Koi wasn't. He wasn't enough of a difference maker on offense to make up the difference. We had other more important places to put the money. Teams only have so much to spend. It's just not the same amount...

I was beating the drum this year for John Nestor to play safety in 2026 if we could shore up our corner position. He's the same size as Koi and is an excellent tackler. Kerry Brown is excellent at the other spot. If we pick up a good corner in the portal, is this all worth it from a money...

I never argued he doesn't look fast on Hudl. I said he looks Koi fast, not 10.4 hundred fast. There is a noticeable visual difference. It's an amazing thing to behold. I don't see it on his Hudl videos. He is rated a mid-3 star and is the 23rd rated player in Missouri. He is the 213th...
