Re: Duke at Tulane (37-7 victory) game discussion

The interception would've affected peoples perception of his performance. I can't remember if it was the same drive as the pitch fumble, but if he gets the pick and the fumble to his credit, we may view things a little differently. The score may come out different too. I think fumbles are sometimes ...

Re: 2016 Recruiting

Quansah!!!!!!! Kinda sounds like something a Samurai yells before head chopping...... Here's to hoping Koby Quansah has several years of heading hunting at Duke! Check the videos out if you get a chance. This guy had enough moves and raw athletic ability to return punts (and score) for his team. Got...

Re: K. Roper to Florida?

I think this is great....cause if Montgomery gets a head coaching position offer he likes....I would bring back Roper without hesitation. He did a great job the year before and he's clearly on the same page with Coach Cut. You add some NFL experience in and that could help with recruits. Course it's...

Re: 2016 Recruiting

Targets such as Menet T/G (high4 star...almost a 5 star player) and Yarbrough (solid 4 star Tackle) are still possible.... each have significant interest in other schools, but we're in the game on these guys too. A couple of 4 star linebackers have interest in us and we've already signed Brandon Hil...

Re: 2015 Recruiting

Strange....ESPNs talent evaluators seem to think that's just average speed. Lets hipe his ACL heals well and he still has that speed when he returns!

Re: 2015 Recruiting

Yeah, I'm getting rather frustrated with the conclusion of the 2014 recruiting.... it doesn't look like we'll get Hines or Frasier either.

No one will say it, but I think the egg we laid on national TV hurt us.

Re: 2014 Schedule

We are getting some publicity. The last ESPN The Mag I looked at had a spread on the offices of six NCAA FB coaches. There was a lovely blue cast to the last one (though it did show a Tennessee jersey signed by some Manning guy). Yeah....we also get some love on the Spurrier spread. He still has th...

Re: 2014 Fall Camp

While its true CJ held the position in 2012, lets be frank in also saying our defense was awful in 2012. Kelby made big plays and helped set the defense. This is a GIANT loss that isn't replaced. As bad as it is to fans...to be mom or dad Brown today has to be even infinitely worse. You know, we can...

Re: 2015 Recruiting

Yeah...had a feeling the talk wasn't for real. No inside info...just a gut feel. Course, maybe it was real and maybe after all those camps and people telling him how great he was, he decided he could beat out Ricky (the USC's other 5 star qb commit). Eventually, we're going to land one of these 4-5 ...

Re: 2015 Recruiting

Yes, very true. I personally find it strange how easy it is to forget that fact.

Someone told me once that we make some of the most important decisions of our lives when we are the least prepared to make them.

Sam Darnold....makes me think of the stock market. I like it better when there's a few thinking someone else. Makes me wonder if he was hiding somethi...

Re: 2015 Recruiting

Something I'd like to throw out there.... We have been turning some quality guys down. I don't want to name them as I got the info from pay sites and I don't know what now would be paid for knowledge vs. not, but we have turned down a quality TE, OL, and possibly WR&DB. I'm pretty sure there's other...

Re: 2015 Recruiting

I think the finish is going to be critical. It can still be an absolutely amazing class if....we get 2 of the high 3/4 star running backs...Hines, Frasier, Gallaspy, Love at RB; Roundtree at Safety, Petite at TE, wait it out and pick a 4 star at CB, LB, DE, or OL that waited too long to commit to th...

ESPN comments he could be a corner at the next level.... interesting. "Raw Talent" We get beat/burnt on long bombs when we play the Florida St., Clemson, and so on... Add this guy to the mix at corner and I think you could put at least 2 in the defensive backfield with 4.4 speed. I'm not so sure we ...

Oh on Mr. Ginormous.... He was at 345 for a camp a few weeks back. He said he's lost about 20 lbs and plans to get to 315 for playing, but was on his school's weight/strength build up plan to get to 345. Holy Molly.....

I've heard this rumor too. Adam Rowe of 247 sports had an interview with Quentin Harris where the rumor may have originated.

One of the sites reported that Quentin was the number 1 guy on Coach Cut's board. If you're looking for the number of stars though...you may be disappointed. rivals is the most generous with a 5.5 rating and 3 stars, but scout doesn't have him ranked and cbs sports via 24/7 sports has his rating at ...

Re: Brandon Connette exploring a transfer...

Considering our scholarship situation, I'm not so sure Coach didn't already know it was highly likely. I don't know that it would have changed things that much. The biggest difference to me would've been the time put in by Lloyd at QB. Maybe he would have gotten an extra series. I think it was plann...
