I’m trying to mentally set up the narrative that Atlanta is our 1989 Vikings….. we got the Cowboys Dynasty coming…. Taking Kurt gave us our Aikman. The tampering will get us a pick swap (please NFL), and Not picking Turner, allows him to slide to set up the dynastic defense that is coming…...

Not sure. Just thinking through, Izzo does have long history (going back several decades) knowing Ben and Thorson. Eveidence would suggest he respects the methods. After Alan Anderson, Izzo was always was in early on Thorson coached guys. I think perhaps he could have some level of...

They should’ve picked Dallas Turner.

I speculate The cheating could actually help his development; e.g. didn’t Ton Brady learn to process and read so well the same way. Arm Takent Difference between Penix and McCarthy can be coached. I actually can do that much myself; any NFL coach will do this substantially better than me. This...

The book on him is, he’s terrible at fair catches, so I imagine he slipped because of the risk. 😉

That’s essentially true of any QB, They appear to fail spectacularly. Culpepper went to 3 pro bowls before tearing his knee. That was worth the draft pick. So was Teddy. Great decisions at the time.

Based on any soecific evaluation or personal insight? Or just gut?

I don’t know anyone, nor have I read or heard any fan, say they want to trade up for a QB. Anyone else? It’s all just writers.

He recruited Willis. I thought he was fine. And perhaps I’m splitting hairs too much on Hawkins. Seems he was found after 2, since he was here for year 3. No matter, your follow up sorted it out for me.

You didn’t think Payton Willis was any good? And Elijah Hawkins was here last year, so by your math your implying he sucked too?

The portal will assimilate you; resistance is futile!

I suppose it can be argued; and a monkey can fly out of my butt. One of the worst power 5 programs of all time is a really niave statement. Are you just answering little bit emotionally here? The NCAA credits us as 10th in football National Championships. We have 3rd most Big Ten titles.

So you think that the five star players this year, are somehow better than the five stars from last year? And the Five star a d four star guys they lost from 2022? What makes you think they’ll be prepared? What is different about them?

irrelevant unless it is capitalizable. I dont watch shows. Somebody might get more ad revenue. But I haven’t seen anything I’ve purchased due to an online ad in at least a decade.

Marlon Maxey would have made that 89 squad pretty formidable… of course that was still the year with Glen Rice, and also that Illinois team.
