Football Transfer Portal Thread

Good thoughts. To me(to add to the 10 win possibility) you/we gotta include KT's development from now til our first game. He may be a film junkie, idk. But he's gotta be one. That and throwing w receivers a kabillion times.

He's gotta get better on timing and really just trusting his receivers and trusting the routes. That comes with film and reps.

The biggest thing I saw from him the last two games was that he'd have receivers running open and either A) Didn't see them because he didn't know where to look in the progression or B) He got so sped up that he reverted back to HS, which was first read isn't there so I need to run. I thought when we ran the quick game with him and telegraphed where he needs to go with the ball he was a lot better.

Yep. Finding those guys that are open and/or a bust in coverage can be the difference in a win or loss. You stated it way better than I can.

On the practice field, KT can throw a rope through a tire at 30 yards...the talent is there. It's been said a million times for QB's and it's so true....the game has to slow down in his head.

I really think next year, especially early, we need to run some of what Indiana did with Mendoza. They'd give him easy access throws and just move the ball 6-8 yards at a time. And with our speed on the outside, we have guys that can make one man miss on those throws and house it.

My guess is that we're done at EDGE. That's probably the biggest whiff, outside of TE, for us in the portal. We got some nice pieces there but missed on a real difference maker.

Wow that sucks. Not sure how we didn?t have a backup plan after missing the Tulane guy. I like the pieces we got but yeah def missing a day 1 starter type there

I would have loved a great EDGE, but trust Arnett to find a way to get pressure, which diminishes my concern.

This clown is one of the reasons I don't venture here often.

Amen.

Having a legit, real life DC is going to do wonders.

[CaptainObvious]

Is it possible Arnett wanted the LB signed late to see if he can work him into a standup end? Seems LB is a position of strength going into 26.

LB's are the big pressure providers in Arnett's defense - LB's led the team in TFL's and Sacks each season he was DC. The 3-3-5 isn't designed for for a traditional EDGE guy - we have hybrid EDGE/LB's who are supplemented by the hybrid S/LB.

Yeah. I think Zakari Tillman might be the "EDGE" guy or function as one in this system.

We are still in it with Seaton. Anybody saying different don't know.

We've been in it the whole time......

Phil met with him in Atlanta earlier in the week.

[BigDawg81]

Seaton wants LSU but Unc wants Oregon. Thats a hell of a narrative from the LSU.

I mean are you surprised???

Lane has them just as obnoxious as he did OM. That's some "He had OM in his heart" shit if I've ever seen it.

Wake Forest 29 points with a true freshman making his second start. Man you have plenty of hills to die on over this season, too many, but you are choosing to die on every single hill even if it's the size of a pimple on an elephant's ass.

You have been so anti-everything with our football program since Will left. I get you are bent over Arnett and not staying with the air raid and getting way over his skis on what he was telling players and how that all went down. That is understandable from your point of view and your closeness of the situation with Will. But, I may be misremembering because I don't catch every message, but I don't recall you saying anything positive for a while now. When we were playing good early in the year, I don't recall you saying much if anything and then it was still a criticism. I know it's your right and your fight but this is not the Bucky that used to post and be a lot more balanced on your takes. Just an observation and wish the old you would at least pop in and say hi every once in a while.

How has our football been since Will left? It was already worth criticizing but now it?s not worth killing. It wouldn?t be worth the bullet you used on it and it won?t be till we get new leadership.


29 points? How many of them were scored just to make an ugly game look respectable? You can?t even call it that. Wake forest does not have a player on their team that we would recruit and not one half as talented as Kamario. Somehow we have taken a kid that was as college ready as I have ever seen, in a state championship game, against another supposed 5 star in Cunningham, and make him look worse.

You're talking to a bitter old wall. Just ignore... it's rinse and repeat him.

[Turfdawg67]

Are you ?Check down Charlie?s? dad? That dude was absolutely terrified at MSU, plus his arm was about as strong as my 17 yr old daughter?s arm. He grew up a Rebel, and should have gone to OM. Huge **** up by Leach! Dude was an absolute house of cards under pressure!

This was discussed ad nauseam a few years back. Lol

[BigDawg81]

I guess State is done with the portal?

[HoopsDawg]

Not any difference makers left.

[maroonmania]

Not any difference makers left.

Never held out much hope for Seaton but wish we could have gotten Sneh while also holding onto James. Given we didnt we are still going to have very limited options on the OL this Fall.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Dude yall kill me with the air raid/Leach/Will talk. I haven?t mentioned it in forever. Yall do. But it is kinda funny that after all that, since they are both gone, we have went to shit.
