Why does that sound familiar?

I think there is a Difference between Chip and Jim. Those being that Chip doesn't have as close of an affinity with a particular university or a desire to show that his offensive system works in the NFL.

Plus Others have made it well known (Helfrich) that he hates recruiting.

Penn St scored on a TD on 7 straight drives, and somehow lost.

How many Big 10 teams lost their bowl games?

Genuine question.

Edit: I see now, 3-7.

Well at least they won't take another loss in the national championship game

SEC would need Bama to win (yet again) for the SEC to be above .500 in bowl play.

Just sent too many teams to bowl games. Win 6 bowls and it's still .500. Thanks, Arkansas and A&M.

Bye Gareon

Another expected departure. Lattimore is the only one I think may end up staying out of the people expected to leave.

MSST needed an end of game saving blocked FG to beat a 6-6 MAC team.

Ohio State redshirt junior cornerback Gareon Conley to forgo senior season, enter the 2017 NFL Draft.

Hoping Samuels stay.

no, I know full well others lost, and MSST barely won. MSST is still below .500, Auburn was not going to be up for a Sugar Bowl game, and I'm not going to count on SCAR, Vandy or Kentucky to do anything.

Maybe A&M were fighting to stay in that game, I don't know, didn't watch it. All I remember is being close to a team coached by a very old man, and being teabagged by a Kansas State player.

Arky, though, come on. Come on.

I think he's gone personally

I'd be shocked if he left personally

Sorry we didn't add alot of tape to Baker and Jones, we'll try to throw more next time.

Haha. They got plenty in conference.

Sounds like Tim Beck is going to Texas....I am pretty upset about it.....Go make Texas great again Tim!

CONGRATULATIONS. YOU RID YOURSELF.

LOL LOL HORNS. So dumb


Beck is an idiot. He has much of the blood of Bo Pelini's firings in his hands

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Najee, pls

 

[SocksAndShoes]

VT fan here, can't believe Jerod Evans declared for the draft. Dude needed another year to refine. I think he's destined to be the next Logan Thomas.

It's to ensure they can put a fence back around Texas again.

That is the only reason this makes sense for them in my opinion.

I was surprised by that, and kind of surprised Kaaya left as well.

So, someone might beat Bama for the recruiting "title", but it's probably not going to be OSUn. Looks like it will come down to the wire between Bama, UGA and Michigan.

I have a feeling him doing it this way means he is going to UM. I mean why do all of this crap if you aren't going to the school you have been committed to.

Tom Herman's recruiting slogan at Houston was "H-Town Takeover" but he has modified it now as "Texas Takeover" so that makes sense.

Teleconference with Alabama players featured 3 word answers given after media relations whispered what to say. You could hear the whispering

Why would it "probably" not be OSU if they end up getting Okudah/Holmes/Harris (Jaylen). Not saying they will be of course just can't see how you are saying won't be outside of Scouts not knowing how to rank recruiting. No wonder that shit went bankrupt.

 

[Lonestar]

Haha. They got plenty in conference.

They did get some run tackling tape!

Probably helped that alot of it didn't feature Bo.




I guess I'll try to add a list of potentials to leave early from Alabama:
Cam Robinson: Yes
Marlon Humphrey: I'd lean yes, but probably should stay to improve
RaShaan Evans: I hope not, but he might have gotten enough attention to go.
Tony Brown, Da'Shawn Hand, Ross Pierschbacer: Probably not, either not good enough or not enough time with more playing time next year
Shaun Dion Hamilton: had playing time, but tearing his knee means he can't do anything till next year.
Ardarius Stewart: Think he's a RS JR. One of our best 2 wideouts, but we haven't showcased him like Julio or Cooper. I'd lean no, but possible.

Not sure: Bo Scarbrough. He started in that same class, but also did the 1 year prep school thing and came in the next year. But I'd say this would be his 3rd year after high school, and I think that's what they go by. I'd really want him to stay, but maybe Alabama can float that possibility to Najee Harris, if playing time is actually a worry.

Past that, the main worries would be transfers. Quite a few notable recruits in this class that really haven't hit the field much. Christian Miller (LB), Ronnie Clark (DB/RB), Cam Sims (WR), JC Hausseneur (OL).


Off the top of my head, the SR's are
Reuben Foster
Jon Allen
OJ Howard
Ryan Anderson
Eddie Jackson
Tim Williams
Dalvin Tomlinson

Which obviously will hurt, alot.

On the other side Bama,UGA, and UM have 6-9 more commits than OSU and theyre still that high in the rankings.

Tennessee OC, Mike Debord, is leaving for the OC position at Indiana.

What a stat line

Penn Stat Drive results:

INT
PUNT
PUNT
TOUCHDOWN x 7
FUMBLE

They went 5 plays or less on all their Non TD drives and only had 3 drives of over 5 plays.

Wonder if the Vols try to lure Tee Martin away from USC.

I could see them trying to lure him to be HC when they fire Booch after next season.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

USC OC to Tennessee OC would be quite the downgrade. With the kind of skill position recruits SC brings in every year it's got to be a pretty cushy gig.

Yeah but my feeling is that he'd go back there as it is his Alma Mater and he'd be also promised the HC job in the near future.

 

[Lonestar]

It'll let Tennessee be reminded that Peyton Manning didn't win the National title that year, Tee Martin did.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Tee Martin named his son Cannon, which is kind of badass.

I would assume they would have to have something since they went 9-4 and won a bowl game....

Edit: Nevermind I just had an update from Bleacher Report saying sexual assault investigation. Okay then.

Claeys fired by Minny.

Shit..

That would be a home run for them in my opinion.

Slo can say he did it

 

[jfkgoblue]

In some new Najee Harris rumors, Michigan insiders are now saying he is a Michigan lock... TBH I just want this shit to be over.

Luckily he's going straight from the AA game to school so less than a week.

That's a solid hire for Tom there..

ugh they offeset a shit hire with a great one. I miss Drayton dude could build a RB for sure. I like Alford, but Drayton was fantastic.

Bama insiders are saying the same thing. Literally no point in listening to any of it till he shows up on campus. Whichever that is.

I'm obviously biased, but I think we hold onto him.

Yeah maybe they are hoping to land chip...

It makes no sense otherwise, they would have fired him earlier if the scandal had anything to do with it imo.
