The Bank (11/13)

[ColdCane]

How aren’t we trynna flip that DJ lagway kid ?

 

[PIPO]

I appreciate the optimism, but there’s a lot of things here that aren’t givens.

1. We have no idea if Guidry will be retained. LSU will assuredly come calling, so will programs like USC. We’re going to have to pony up cash, and we better.

2. Louisville is winning with an absolute trash QB, but Brohm has a very good defense (usually doesn’t). They’re absolutely a team to watch in ‘24 and will bring in a very good QB with an enticing offensive system / HC with a proven track record on that side of the ball. That’s something we can’t offer as of right now, it’s arguably our toughest game in ‘24 (also on the road).

3. It’s now or never regarding Dabo and the portal usage (or lack thereof). Curious to see what they do in the off-season.

4. FSU will spend a boatload in the portal, they will also be a fascinating case study. They need one dynamite portal class to bridge the gap so that their elite HS class gets acclimated to college ball in ‘24. They’re not in as bad of a position as people make them out to be. It’s a better class than our ‘23 one on paper…

5. If Ghandi is correct, we won’t have continuity at the OC position in ‘24. We cannot string this out like last season and miss out on portal guys because of it. That would be an unmitigated disaster of an approach.

Mario needs to be back-channeling portal guys asap. He also needs to have a plan at OC and DC should Dawson and/or Guidry leave. We cannot string out replacement hires into March. 2024 is too critical to do so.

Yeah, it’s going to be hilarious (no not really. Figure of speech as it going to ******* suck) if Mario fires Dawson, him taking 2 months to figure out his next OC while have no QBs in the room and trying to recruit portal QBs with no OC.

Brohm has an unproven track record?

He went 30-10 at WKU with three winning seasons and three bowl wins. He was just the second coach in Purdue’s history to reach the postseason four times during his first six years. Brohm’s predecesor went 9-39 in four seasons. Yes, you read that right - He didn’t win 10 games in four seasons. Before that, Danny Hope had one winning season (7-6) in four seasons.

No hypotheticals there, that’s all fact. What he did there was remarkable, lol. That program STUNK.

As for Clemson, I don’t think what you said was English.

You know what’s not a hypothetical? Mario Cristobal is 11-11 at Miami and 5-9 in conference play.

Does Mario have an unproven track record?
35–13 at Oregon
2-2 in Bowls including two New Years bowls

You are simply saying Brohm is proven because Purdue sucked?

Clemson- they haven't used the Portal. Their QB has not been good in 2023. Their WR room lacks playmakers. You expect this slow-moving ship to turn around things quickly.

Love this getting posted in here, and nobody saying a word about Mincey/McCray but instead parsing Fong's comments on Trader

This fanbase shook

It was one guy who scared but I agree we aint scared over here. Gotta win to make a good impression for Mincey and MCcray

 

[TRick72]

Been in a relationship for a decade, after a few years reading between the lines is a required task.

Edit: might just be mine but she’ll have me out here dissecting a “good morning” text like Oppenheimer and an atom.

Clearly not long enough as you still give enough of a **** to figure it out

 

[FromDeeeeep]

Smith isn’t the only flip the Seminoles are working on. If FSU is pushing, a source said to keep an eye out for Joshisa Trader and Florida State

FSU writers really talk out both sides of their mouth. Before it was Trader isn’t that good, Smith makes him, we got committed guys better, etc etc. Now less 6 weeks later we are gonna push for Trader? Naw man you lost on Trader and never stopped pursuing. Come signing day when he signs with Miami it will be Mario begged and begged him to sign with Miami. Rinse and repeat.

In a couple of weeks it’s going to be the same thing with Jones and Patterson.

Again Trader lives with Rod and Ryan Mack.

"Trader, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound talented receiver and defensive back at Hollywood’s Chaminade-Madonna, has been coached by Mack since he was 9 years old and has lived with Mack since he was 11."

Coldcane - absolutely! I would be backchanneling Lagway and Air Norland. Sell coming in and starting right away (although I suppose Florduh could make the same argument).

 

[ScubaCane]

Something I noticed on Saturday, Wesley was primarily playing off the edge as the SLB when we're in a 3-4 scheme. It's amazing how versatile Guidry's defense is.

Amazing to watch a coach get the most out of his players

 

[The U is back to work]

Coldcane - absolutely! I would be backchanneling Lagway and Air Norland. Sell coming in and starting right away (although I suppose Florduh could make the same argument).

Lagway I’m sure got a massive NIL deal because he hasn’t even looked elsewhere. I assume the Nico Iamaleava level deal. Either way, we ****ed up AGAIN not recruiting an actual QB.

 

[rsa coral gables]

Jackson is supposedly going pro. That’d help.

he was a ghost on the field saturday. no memorable plays

 

[TRick72]

He’s terrible. Can’t believe the difference in how he was discussed in the off-season vs how he has looked. His brother is a stud, though.

 

[Maskoff407]

Didn’t Mincey already commit to his choice of school? He’s just announcing at the AA game. So if Miami still feel good about him, then he’s not coming.

 

[GrozDozer]

Unless they know where he committed?

 

[Imukat]

Are they thinking that Pickett can't gain weight similar to Moss, so might as well start him at LB first. That eliminates the pressure of gaining the size to get on the field.

 

[LuCane]

He’s not eligible till the postseason. So, was definitely a ghost out there. Crappy ghost, as our interior OL did enough for us to win the game. Ha.

 

[TwentySix]

Mincey and McCray visiting for the Louisville game, per Gaby.

 

[D_G87]

“Loaded” teams don’t go 6-4 unless coaches suck…

lol well….

 

[dycane]

Lagway I’m sure got a massive NIL deal because he hasn’t even looked elsewhere. I assume the Nico Iamaleava level deal. Either way, we ****ed up AGAIN not recruiting an actual QB.

We should just poach an OC with a top QB recruit attached to him and make both an offer they can’t refuse.

 

[MumbleRap]

Damnit you’re right lol
