I think we're at 85 right now. It would really need to be someone impressive at this point to ***** around with the roster. But I wouldn't be surprised if Mario has a way to pull another scholly or two out of his ***, if he really wants a portal kid. Maybe take it from a PWO and find another way...

Brown was a Radio failure. Forgot about Paul. Was he caught up in that whole mess with Eddie? I remember one kid at that time was just sitting outside his front steps smoking weed and got arrested then kicked off the team. Kids were stealing each other’s computers, getting in fights. Al Golden...

Good luck to the young man. If he does anything at UMiss, he will be an exception to the performance of our transfers over the past 20 years. Shawnbrey McNeal did alright a decade or so ago, Storm Johnson too, and our former center is starting at UNC. But by and large it's be a tough go for guys...

The NIL inflation feels dangerously like a bubble. This stuff is crazy

100. If we're offering the Harvard kid, it only makes sense to offer this kid too.

High speed chase through Atlanta alleyways?

We have a loaded 2023 LB class. Does NW have a decent QB or DT? They've had some great DBs lately, maybe one of those?

Holy shyyyt, I saw your comment and was curious so Googled the Northwestern football team and this is from their student newspaper: https://dailynorthwestern.com/2023/07/08/top-stories/former-nu-football-player-details-hazing-allegations-after-coach-suspension/ That is some sick stuff. I’d be...

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you here. Norvell flipped 10 coins and came up with 8 or 9 heads. He got lucky, IMO. He'll get unlucky too. He's just not a good recruiter, so I don't believe it's sustainable. Not at a 10+W yearly threshold. JMHO. I see him as a perennial 7-9 W guy with...

Will we take a look?

Touché.

Nepotism is somewhat unAmerican. That’s why I don’t like it. There has to be better IOL out there. … But if the players are cool with it and we’re below 85 by August it is a non issue.

Exactly how I see it. Taylor and Deen are obviously our anchors, with JHH, Lichtenstein, Campbell and Moten rotating in. Much better to have another big man who is fully developed filling in Ford's shoes than fully relying on Moten.

I thought FSU was overrated last year and they proved me wrong based on their record. But it was against G5 competition, something Norvell knows how to beat. Same may hold true this year, unfortunately. I think they're overrated, but they may have a decent (not great) record again. I never got...

I'm ecstatic we got Harrell and Kirk. But let's be real -- Coleman and Franklin are next level. We obviously didn't need both. But Kirk is not in the same league as those other two players. Personally, the best combo for me would have been Harrell and Franklin (speed + fluidity).

Definitely a programming issue in calculating 5 stars. But the above posters were correct that Wayne was a 5 star at one point. I can see the argument for moving him down to a high 4 star, as Wayne is physically impressive and known for playing consistently at a very high level, but is a little...

I'd take best available until we run out of cap room I know we're already at/above 85, but I'm sure we'll see more attrition soon. And we still need a backup QB, OLB, DT, OT, and definitely the Tulane/Marshall kid. I doubt we can find quality across 5 spots from grad transfers. I doubt we have...

I’m going to hold off judging the portal haul versus the needs until the full transfer class is in. We nailed CB, RB, OL and made a big dent in LB and a small dent in DT. The Tulane via Marshall kid would make DBs an A grade. We still have work to do at WR, DT, LB and QB. Clock is ticking but...

If James Jackson's brother had posted it, I wouldn't have considered it hyperbole.

We were never even in his consideration set. So was that because 1. Miami staff doesn't like him for on or off field reasons, 2. We got outbid and even though we liked him we weren't willing to spend the money needed to compete, or 3. USC staff and Fegans already had this all planned out so...
