I don't know @CJ Vogel ... Freese reminded me a lot of Blake Gideon on that one 🤣 In all seriousness - I dug the breakdown. Helped educate a non-soccer guy on the team.

One of y'all should get the Honey pepper pimento chicken. Surprisingly good.

Curious how much NIL would he have made if he stayed. Anyone have an idea what he made last year? I'm sure it isn't $1.3M, but I'd imagine if he stayed and played up to a 2nd-3rd round pick, the NPV would've been more. Not disagreeing with his decision at all. Everyone should do what's best for their situation. But I'm guessing we might see more & more players sticking around another year with NIL continuing to increase.

@Joe Zura is this a win-win scenario for ya?

Bobby - is this football specific? Current players or all-time?

List appears to be sorted alphabetically. Might not be the actual order of appearance?

Hopefully we look back after the season and can make an argument to move 2025 up the list with solid seasons from Kanu, Watson, Mosley, and Spence. Last year's starting TE that'll get drafted, starting P & K, quality snaps out of Brevard, and then Caldwell & Mosley single handledly delivered us a W with their TD in OT - that's gotta pull some weight all on it's own!

Per this ranking, we're the #6 public university in the US!

Ha! I'm definitely gonna be trying this with my lil man!

Assuming everything he said is factual, this is the perfect opportunity for the NCAA to reassert some power and/or boundaries... Come down HARD and maybe that deters things somewhat? I don't know what other choice they have. If you do little/nothing, then it's OFFICIALLY an NCAA endorsed free for all.

My biggest issue is how the vast majority of players are taking a year-to-year approach on their decisions. The unlimited transfer rule created an open market field day for the agents you referenced, which has allowed them to steer kids into decisions that aren't in their best interest. This will reduce parity over time and hurt the sport over the long haul. Don't get me wrong, every kid should have the ability to transfer. Their chances to make it to the next level are largely attributed to playing time and scheme fit, and they should be able to act out of their own betterment. But we need to limit this to one open transfer and then go back to having to sit out a year for the 2nd transfer - with some caveats for HC changes, etc.

Per Google: - Azure Open AI - Avanti Owners Association International - Or my favorite, AsOneAfterInfidelity - an online peer support group for groups attempting to reconcile their relationship after an affair. Obviously Baugh feels cheated on and this is Juluke trying to reconcile their relationship! 🤔🤣

Don't disagree, but I just don't want things to deteriorate to the point it starts losing its overall appeal. I know we're a long way from that happening, but I'm worried we may be at the peak and it's down hill from here. Especially when you start factoring in the NCAA's willingness to allow college athletes to bet on sports. We need guardrails ASAP. Don't allow kids to bet. Put a cap on transfers... Whether that's a max a school can accept each year (unless HC change) or max number of times a "student-athlete" can transfer... Just spit balling, but we need something.

Mystery man has gotta be Baugh and/or Berry. But I'd think Berry would likely follow FW to OM.

That's fantastic. The toy cop cars cracked me up.

Blake - is this something you pulled together? If not, can you share the website / X link so I can follow it throughout the year? Interesting stuff!

Love seeing these videos of the kids doing right by their mom's & grandparents and giving back. And how 'bout the branding for the Bearded Broker... Helluva marketing spot!

I get your point, but I think vandy's capacity is 41k, MSST is 61k, ole Miss is 64k...

I'll play! OL: Kasey Studdard - played with an aggression that suits the OK drill RB: Cedric Benson - great short yardage back DL: Hard to top Hampton, but I'll use my recency bias to select Byron Murphy - I think his bull dog pass rush works well for this drill LB: Nobis is probably the correct answer, but since he was before my time, I'll take DJ since he's my favorite (but admittedly not the best for this specific drill) Winner: Defense with Derrick Johnson punching the ball out for the fumble!

Would love to see Gbenda drafted. Seemed like a great locker room guy that was more concerned with winning than his snap count. Continued to improve each year and made a substantial impact on the girls even though most wrote him off after year 2.

I've seen the term "top 30 visit" a lot this year... Can you explain what that is? Assuming each NFL team is only allowed to invite 30 prospects in for a visit? If so, is this a new rule?

Really enjoy these deep dives! A few ideas that come to mind: - Sarks play calling at Washington with Jake Locker at QB: any tendencies he had, how he utilized the QB run game, etc. - Evolution of PK's play calling over the past 4 years: % blitz and how it's deployed (situationally by down & distance and type of blitz), press man / zone concepts - Performance of first 2-3 offensive drives to open each half Thanks for all you do!

I like Rodney. Seems like a genuinely great guy. Probably a solid coach too, but seems like a better fit for a mid-major. At the end of the day, he's not elevating the program. Not just from a W-L perspective, but also with regards to the fan engagement, generating buzz, etc. Seems like he's treading water rather than having a vision as to how to grow the program overall.
