Recruiting rankings out HS matter, but so does development. On the indiana team playing Bama today, QB Fernando Mendoza was a low 3* ranked an 82 out of HS (#134 QB in his class); RB Roman Hemby was a low 3* ranked an 83 (#108 RB in his class); RB Karlon Black was 2* ranked a 79 (#201 RB in his...

Played in the NFL. Counts to recruits.

Added Zaquan Bryan ... PJ's got to have a CB or two coming in the portal. New Year's Day. Looks like 9 transfer spots open so far. Maybe this year PJ will be going for a few high quality, impact transfers. Last year's take--which had some big helpers like Nestor--included quite a few transfers...

Simple HS scheme: "Cover that guy, blanket him, he's not going to beat us." Complex college scheme: while players try to figure out and coordinate their responsibilities, that guy is always open and beats you like a drum.

He's announced that he's in the portal ...

Iowa leads by one score at the end of the 3Q. Iowa has run only 39 plays, but is averaging 8.0 yards per play.

Lot of folk's like Alabama in that game. Real test for Indiana’s defense.

I like Iowa in the game, too. Hope Michigan's defense shows up against Texas. Nebraska probably gets waxed by Utah, but you never know with the coach situation.

Meant Miami. My bad.

Tough New Year’s eve for the B1G? Nebraska a 14.5 underdog to Utah Michigan a 7.5 underdog to Texas Iowa a 5.5 underdog to Vanderbilt At least Ohio State is favored over Miami (fixed it)

USC blows 10 point lead in 4Q and loses in OT to TCU. B1G now 6-1.

With Illinois’s victory over Tennessee in the Music City Bowl, the B1G is 6-0 in bowl games. USC (with several key opt-outs) currently in a tight one with TCU. Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska and Ohio State have games tomorrow. Indiana and Oregon play on Friday. Iowa, Michigan and Indiana games are...

Right. House Settlement says Universities can share up to $20.5M in revenues with student athletes. Coyne says Gophers are allocating House Settlement cash to Football, mens' and women's basketball, and mens' hockey and women's volleyball. Supposed allocation to Football is about 75%, or at...

I’m hoping we get the UMD TE who had a breakout season; Brahmer would be frosting in the cake.

Good guess. He's from Portage, MI.

On the subject of the mass exodus at Iowa State, there are some real gems there at positions of need for the Gophers. In an earlier post, I mentioned Chase Sowell, a big WR who is rated at 93 in the portal after an 87 rating out of HS. Size and demonstrated success in P4 play. Another big riser...

Football names in the portal ... Air Noland, QB, out of South Carolina Bam Booker, Edge, out of Bowling Green Juice Vereen, TE, out of U Conn Diezel Williamson, S, out of Montana Tank Hawkins, WR, out of Florida. Other interesting names ... Samson Isreal, CB, out of Memphis (clergy if not...

As the one-and-only 2026 Transfer Portal opens on January 2nd, this chain can assemble info, gossip and quips about related goings on. Here are a few opening observations: Old Gopher, LB Tyler Stolksy, who transferred to FAU last year, is back in the portal. Good depth LB for the Gophers? He...

Are you gonna eat your fat? ...

Added Drew Wilson as a transfer out, first to announce post-Rate Bowl. Removed Anthony Smith as a question mark: he’s back!
