Recruiting Transfer Portal: Jordan Hermann enters Portal

Something to keep an eye on is Jaxon Dart. Ole miss is bringing in Howard and Spencer Sanders is being CB'd there aswell. Can't imagine he'd stick around if they brought in 2 qb's

I don't have the heart to tell you what's going to happen in the next game.

I’ve got my eye on it

I don’t know you well (these last few weeks is the most active I’ve been on here ever), but I’m old enough to remember when you weren’t a pumper.

You're old enough to remember when we had the Chimp, Butters, and Mullen as head coaches. It was hopeless since the day they stepped off the plane.

Hell, you're old enough to remember Knute Rockne leading Notre Dame onto the field. You also used to rile Connie Mack with taunts out at old Shibe Park.

MUCH improved defense, good OL, good running game. We'll win some games. 2024 is going to be spectacular.

Stench of Mullen's players has officially been fumigated.

All Mertz has to do is keep defenses honest and not turn the ball over - no one is asking him to throw for 400 yards a game.

This is what I’m hoping for. Trying to be optimistic.

Outside of Mertz the defense will be one to watch. Can't get much worse then they were so they have to be better, question is how much better. Is Toney going to show he's worth it this year or do we just move up to top 70.

Who knows? We’re gonna be so young with so many new players I suspect it’ll be a work in progress. Our schedule is pretty tough, as well.

Florida transfer quarterback Graham Mertz makes major NIL decision

Okay, didn't want to link On3, considering their recent junk, but thought the NIL info was interesting in case some didn't know.

"The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s NIL value using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories: performance, influence and exposure.

While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career.

The On3 NIL Valuation accounts for an athlete’s roster value and brand value. Roster value is the value an athlete has by being a member of his or her team at his or her school, which factors into the role of NIL collectives. Brand value factors in an athlete’s personal brand and the value it could bring to regional and national brands outside of the scope of NIL collectives."

I said that about the 2021 defense coming in this year.

Thanks for sharing that, but it sounds like a lot of word salad. The influence and exposure aspects seem impossible to quantify & estimate across the population of players. Performance has a lot of data, but NIL is at least as much marketing as it is performance.

If they have all that calculated and thought $13m was ballpark for an untested, unproven 50/50 project like Rashada, then either their algorithm is off or the system is fubar - or both. Or I’m just lost, which is also true.

You're a clown. I have far more optimism heading into next year than I have in years.

You have far more optimism heading into next year than you have in years every year.

Vegas will have us at 4-5 wins next year, do you want to tell him or should I?

I sure hope I'm around to see it OX

Who GAF? Don't watch if it's going to make you miserable.

You're perpetually drunk, so I'm not surprised you've forgotten my pessimism in the Butters and Mullen years.
