RoJo was QB MVP at Dallas Opening.

Any idea who else was there?

Recent scuttle on Higgins has him trending OOS. Watch out for Stanford and Ohio State where his buddy Garrett Wilson just landed. 

Him landing at tOSU would be very bad news.  We need to stop this "pipeline" to Columbus ASAP.

when is Tre Watson deciding?

Could go down any moment.

Okay, here's a question that ought to generate some discussion. Or get me ridiculed 

Can anyone name a WR who really made a difference on any national championship teams and/or playoff teams? Hell, go take a look at the leading receivers in college football last year and you'll be hard pressed to find one that played on one of the 4 playoff teams. 

Don't get me wrong. I would have loved to have had Wilson. But WR's don't win championships. All you need at that position is above average and not necessarily studs like you need on the line.

Championships are won in the trenches. Cant move the ball or stop the ball without that.

Ohio St will be starting a RS Frosh at QB this year. While loaded with talent on various spots on their roster, most of the experienced talent left for the pros.

Ohio St will play TCU, Penn St., Nebraska, Michigan St and Michigan this season. Thats five potential losses.

I don't think we've seen the last of Wilson, but if Jake Smith comes aboard at some point, the sense of urgency goes way down.

How does Jake smith realistically compare to Wilson? Haven’t watched his tape but have always heard G Wilson is as good as it gets.

Jake Smith is a pure stud slot WR. He is good size at 6-0/6-1 and play speed is great. Tremendous hands, seems like a good route runner. I can see the Jordan Shipley comparisons other than just his look. He is a different slot than J Waddle but bith can be very effective. Smith will be a QBs best friend. Wilson is darn good also but a different WR, he can play slot but is better on the outside. His ability to high point the ball is great. Also around 6-0. You want both players no question. It's a loss that we have to live with but his quote isn't wrong, in the last 8 years we have disappointed as a football program, Ohio st has not. Let's change that Tom so it doesn't happen again.

Love your question and it makes sense. I did think Hunter Renfero was a big part of Clemson making back to back title games. A walk-on at Clemson I beleive, not highly recruited regardless.

Doesn’t have a date set to my knowledge.

[Daniel Seahorn 6,072]

Like I said yesterday, I have a good feeling about Watson.

[Slimer 1,229]

247 says Marcus Hicks is now a priority after losing Leal and shortly after a bunch of CB picks come in for him to OU.  Sounds about right the way things are going.

Yall read the quote where he states something to the effect of. "My pockets will be heavier when I leave Baton Rouge." 

Interesting quote.

Tabari Hines commits to Oregon.

I'm hoping for Bragg, Johnson of 1 of Wilkins or Shepherd for this OL class.

Me too. But at this point, I'm not sure Wilkins will even OV here. OU may be too far along in this recruitment.

Bragg, Johnson, yes. Shepherd is still up for grabs pretty much though he really likes us.

Supposedly Wilkins is no longer taking his OV this weekend.

Shepherd and Green holding off until after the season really benefits us IMO.  

I'm starting to feel better about Bragg.  Sounds like he really likes Hand and he's got several Longhorn fans in the family on our side.  Center play hasn't been anything to get excited about since Lyle Sendlein was snapping the ball.  I had hope for Shack, maybe the light comes on this year.

Reports of Green's demise (aggy) are greatly exaggerated. They may have made up some ground, not sure, during his visit there. But he walked into aggyland in a burnt orange frame of mind.

Aggy does compare well on facilities, but the campus is just ugly.

I think you'll see minimum improvement from Shack. He's good, but his ceiling was never very high. 

I think Kerstetter is going to end up making a very fine center.

Trying to confirm, but I believe Wilkins isn’t making it in this weekend, which is not encouraging.
