Atticus

Bro, I am straight up not having a good time

I mentioned it in the snap count thread for the bowl game, but Barnes didn’t look great against Michigan outside of a few snaps. I just went back and checked, JJR, moved over to LB for the bowl game actually out snapped him. Athletic guy, needs more time in the oven before seeing the field.

Strong development, but unless it just wasn't reported, he never actually put his name into the portal. Just stated his intent to enter.

I blocked him already, but how harveycmd hasn't been banned/muted from the forum is beyond me.

Za’Lance Heard. Too expensive for the value he provides our team though.

If he isn't asking too much, he's a solid investment. I think he's a Trey Moore type where he'll have a hard time making the same level impact in the SEC.

There's no such thing as "true" insider team info. You are told what people want you to know, and the truths are filtered at least two times over. The guys here do a good job of keeping you aware of stuff without being toxic to the program they cover.

He played pretty well this year, and he wasn’t gonna magically get faster/quicker. That’s probably the best draft post from our guys so far. Go be great, and take care of your family, man.

We made Lagway, Shapen, Cutter Boley, Diego Pavia, and a few others look like very capable passers when we played them. Nearly gave up the Vanderbilt game after giving up 21 pts in the 4th quarter. Tennessee/LSU/Ohio State/MSSt again next year all likely to have strong passing offenses next year. We can't give up all these yards/TOP/pts and place too much pressure on Arch to be superman for the team to win big games.

Former high priced guys not liking their new offers

I hope he balls out at the pro day and in private workouts. Not sure he gets a combine invite unless he has a great agent. Would love for him to make it in the league as a special teams ace.

Unless he’s being unreasonable with his ask, hopefully we get involved here.

TyAnthony was already eating into his snaps this year to get more speed on the field. Between Atkinson, Barnes, Smith, and a portal guy or two, we’ll be okay. Would have liked to keep him

He handled himself with class even if he fought to get more money for himself along the way. I’ll be rooting for him no matter where he ends up… other than OU, A&M, or Georgia 😒

He was carried by Skattebo last year. Had a solid game against Tech this year where they lost their QB and they were able to control the clock. Showed his backside when the going got tough and eventually quit on his team. Perfect fit for Kiffin and LSU.

With a name like King Large available, Kyle Flood must be pleading his case to bring him in.

I guarantee you that they're all aware of these public statements and likely some non public ones as well. We aren't breaking any news here with how we stack up to any of the other teams in playoff consideration.

Campbell would have been a good hire about 5 years ago. I don't think he's a good fit for Penn St. and that fanbase's expectations. He better handle the media and hecklers a lot better in Happy Valley. He'll also be dealing with a different level of athletes over there. I'll have my popcorn ready.

Forced retirement? 58 seems a bit soon to bail. Maybe he’ll go back to North Dakota State or somewhere around that level.

Context matters. Gotta consider what else happened that week and who they moved ahead of.

I like Wingo, I just think he’s a luxury guy moreso than a reliable one. Let’s not forget, Worthy went bananas as soon as he stepped on campus with his opportunity. Wingo was force fed this season and mostly wilted under the expectations. If we can bring in an NFL talented guy or two and give them the opportunity to boost their draft stock like we did with Golden, Bond, and Mitchell, that would be ideal.

If you can’t trust No3 sports, then who can you?

That would be a very disappointing rotation for next year. Mosley should be our chain moving #3 guy. If Wingo wants to prove it here at a reduced number and no guaranteed role, cool. Livingstone is a solid depth guy. We’ll see on McCutcheon. Gotta bring in some dawgs at WR, and preferably one of them has some twitch.

No one is on the team next year until they are. Those guys didn’t come here for free and they won’t stay for free. We need to maximize our resources to built the best roster and culture we can for next year and hopefully it’ll be done in a way that is sustainable moving forward.

This Texas team is probably 11-1 with last year’s schedule. Ran into Florida on the road at the wrong time with secondary and OL issues. Unfortunately it won’t matter, but at least we’ll have a jump on the portal and recruiting like the other teams did last year while we were making our playoff run. Lasting vibes for this team into the offseason are positives and “what coulda been” especially if we go dominate a decent team in the bowl game.
