IT posted they're eyeing another defensive player to enter the portal.

It sounds like someone who has a longer developmental curve, but he can be a player if he stays patient.

I think it's pretty clear he's opened it up to bidders if he's considering Michigan and not signing early, albeit Michigan signing Underwood helps.

Texas' problem for a five-star LT is they can't point to immediate playing time.

Two quick thoughts on Terry signing...

- Texas should have locked up the #1 class no matter what happens from here through February

- Terry goes a long way towards the staff solidifying the interior DL for next season, and Terry himself has said playing next to DE Colin Simmons was very appealing

ND sits out conf playoffs.
Must be a consideration.
Getting into a conf championship and losing thus dropping below opponents that don’t play is a nightmare for this playoff system.
But looking at conference schedules after the games are played shows inequities. Ex. Indiana failing to play either B1G team in the playoffs but at the same time having only one loss. Playoffs before playoffs is a problem.

And I forgot about Ohio St who also sat out but beat Penn St.
Messy.

ewers had some poor play but definitely not all on him. he didn't have anything to do with:

- the constant idiotic false starts, offsides, holding penalties
- his receivers dropping multiple perfect passes
- auburn missing FGs, one of which he should have made, and actually did make initially but a stupid false start negated it
- guilbeau celebrating barrons INT and not paying attention to set the ONE block that would have sealed a pick6
- the numerous issues the oline had once again and allowing so much pressure with 4 man rushes
- the garbage plays sark was calling down the stretch, when it was clear all game that Georgia was conceding the middle of the field and intermediate passes, which Quinn ate up all game when given the opportunity.

quinn definitely has some flaws, and yes an elite QB could have overcame all those other team issues. but that's unfair to pin the game on him and say he sucks bc he couldn't overcome a plethora of issues the team had that are outside his control. he's a solid QB, plain and simple. not elite, not bad. just solid. and despite all that went wrong, they still nearly beat the team most people expected to win it all this season.

they are definitely not out of it.

to be fair Quinn has had some very good games and clutch moments as well. sure, he's no VY or colt, but still among the top 15 or so QBs in the nation.

he's not even a top 3 reason for this loss. penalties, crappy special teams, poor blocking by both oline and wr/te/rb, and lousy adjustments on offense were by far bigger issues than Quinn's play.

After the past few games watching Bond i think he's never truly healed because he's ran some horrible routes that are very unlike him.

After the past few games watching Bond i think he's never truly healed because he's ran some horrible routes that are very unlike him.

There is definitely something not right.
He was our best long gain scoring option and has dropped out of sight.
He is our fastest WR.

And he was most likely a late first round draft choice. His draft grade will take a hit unless he heals or whatever.
Matthew Golden will probably get a good draft grade as a Junior and leave. We probably need him to stay.
I think we did a good job in the portal for this season. We need another good portal as we dont have perfect synchrony on leaving and staying in our position groups,
I doubt any team does.

Will try again with what I have gathered.

IT reasons we definitely need a big gap filling LB. Hill roaming is more valuable and Lefau can get worn down at his size. Ty Anthony Smith will be very good but small. Bo Barnes would be ideal potentially but he’s an incoming FR so later in the year. Also our interior DL will have to be redone which exacerbates the middle D in the SEC situation.

IT thinks the middle D is the most important part of our needs. Sounds like Flood thinks the majority of th OL is ready to go which is a surprise to me.

We had, I think, 11 players go pro last year. 3 WRs, now in the pros, played. All were drafted.

Therefore, Based on last year, I would venture to say yes.

This is a true leverage move based off the reports of him getting better and perhaps buying in.

There was too much silence after this first came out.
I wonder if “in negotiations” sums it up better.
I really hope this is settled now and he is staying if he really has “bought in”
It was reported he had a bit of a fit on the sideline earlier in the year, but then he played again and all seemed solved.

We gotta get out of this possible cycle of having to look for so many DLs at one time. 3 or 4 contributing true inside DLs leaving at the same time is not ideal.

A backstory of why he changed his mind (if he truly has) would indeed be nice as it has the appearance of a squeeze play (which I would understand)

Burton at OTF thinks we could see a decision from Bouwmeester as early as today.

He's native Australian and spoke with former Texas P Michael Dickson on the phone yesterday.

Any back story.

IT said this morning Mitchell signed paperwork before the staff even knew what was going on.

Similiar situation to TE Juan Davis last year.
