Yes but it’s tricky to recruit RBs for depth. They all want carries. @JayCane20 said it and I agree- the best option may be recruiting a KR who also can play RB.
Lofton is another option. I think he can be a 5+ YPC back in the ACC. But we would need to add a TE.
What happened to the Tulsa kid? @DMoney
If we can land Concepcion I think he and Lofton can fill in and make it work.
I appreciate the shot at lawyers too, but agents’ jobs are literally to advise career direction and to negotiate more money for them. They use any leverage they have to get their clients paid and that’s what TVD did. It’s hardball business but it’s business.
I blame Mario for that not the agent doing his job like he is doing his job as well for X because Mario had TVD here in the locker room and still brought him back and paid him. I have negotiated deals for much of my working life so this **** does not offend me one bit but I guess if you don’t work in this type of thing regularly, it hits differently.

Antonio Martin Jr would be perfect to bring in as a RB3 option.
If we land Conception you and Mike Ryan has to wear his jersey on the next podcast lol
This less with more slogan sounds a lot like the brofense catch phrase we used a year ago. Regarding the portal, there is still a lot more Mario can do to improve his success rate, even if he's not as comfortable at it right now. NIL wasn't what caused him to lose out to OU with Mateer. So there are still other forces at work. I think he'll keep working the problem and get better at it over time.
Admittedly, I'm projecting right now. I could be wrong. And besides, we want him to get better for 2025, not some distant future, so I get the frustration.

Not this again. You can have a 99% chance of not getting hurt and go win a meaningless bowl but potentially lose millions of dollars.
Or you can guarantee yourself those millions of dollars and not play.
The choice is easy. You should watch Jake Butt’s video where he runs through everything he lost out on.
@DMoney, is Daniels heel or foot going to be an issue like it was at lsu or should he be healed by the spring? He seems like an upgrade over Horton if healthy.
I like the corners we are potentially getting and pursuing but until we get changeover in the D staff, it doesn't mean a whole lot yet.
He just had won of the worst defenses in the country and still had a decent shot at the playoffs.
And yeah, Cam Ward, blah blah blah. We are, at minimum, a Top 4 team in the ACC next year with Emory and the current roster based on talent. So improve the defense and we will have a good shot next year.
If we **** the bed and play like clowns and commit a billion penalties, then let’s talk about whether Mario is worth it.
We are one of the few private schools trying to play with the big boys on NIL right now. We are going to lose some recruiting battles.

lol cam ward, blah blah blah
Mike would wear Concepcion’s jock strap on his head on the show if he would let him
Has Mikey ever played a team sport? Is Mikey in his 20's?
Jake Butte got drafted, made millions, and would've made more but ripped up his knee in the NFL, and also said he would still have played in the bowl game if he had to choice to. So that is your BEST example of reason not to play in the game.

The rare ability to give Cam Ward all of the credit without giving Mario any of the credit is impressive.
The argument that we only won 10 games because of Cam Ward is lazy. We had a TON of talent around him. You guys only think in black and white.
Hearing about us being the favorites for Lucas and Brantley is music to my ears. Awesome updates!!
define TON bc I was at every home and a road game and saw cam cover up a lot of defensive holes on the roster and bring us back from multiple double digit deficits home and away. ive given Mario credit for this year in that he had a good year until the cuse game where brain farted again. the issue is that blah blah blah who was a heisman finalist and the QB in america is gone.
