    Class of 2019 DE Smith Vilbert (NJ) Committed to PSU

    I highly doubt the recruits paternal grandmother is the decision maker a lot of times. Pet peeve

    Haskins: "I'm playing"

    I disagree, I believe it should absolutely be considered when making a drafting decision on your franchise quarterback.

    Coaches 28 / AP 28

    I do this every year, I have us starting the year ranked #1 and follow where I project we’d finish the season. Obviously it hasn’t been good for the last, oh, several years. This year might be fun. Right now we are ranked #5.

    This is 100% correct.

    Nassib's NYG career likely over

    NFL players seriously get a pension? That's not a joke? (Disclaimer: I know it's not a joke, I just can't believe it)

    DT Anthony Guidice transferring to Fordham

    Wasn't he also the guy who was a really good pitcher?

    Class of 2017 OL Patrick Davis (Canada) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

    Born and raised on Maple St. My grandfather was shipped to Griffiss in the 40's. Loved JJ's. Don't forget Club Mystique.

    Paris Bennett and Zaire Franklin

    Why is nobody talking about our linebackers? With 89 total tackles Paris is 3rd in the ACC and 13th nationally with 9.9/game . With 82 total tackles Zaire is 5th in the ACC and 31st nationally with 9.1/game. Are the performances of these two guys a result of the Tampa 2 system or are they...

    ACC Football Championship on the move...

    My question, how often did you think of this issue before politicians made it an issue? For all we know, this situation has potententially existed for hundreds of years with not a single documented criminal instance. My opinion is this is another example of government interference within our...

    Nunesmagician.com Season Preview

    I love the optimism and my glasses are as orange as everyone else's' but we have to mentally prepare for a 2-10 season. I predict we beat Colgate and win one of two against Wake and BC. We may score 40 a game on offense but we may give up 50 a game on defense. When the head coach says it will be...

    tampa 2 discussion

    This is a very good read describing the Tampa 2 base defense along with variations as run by an NFL team. Even though it's been discussed this is the first read I've actually tried to learn and understand. It has good examples of formation sets, field responsibilities and video clips. A closer...

    Class of 2016 WR Kerrick Hahn (FL) Walk-On

    Form what I watched he is plenty fast, and no smaller than some scholarship kids we already have or offered. He was splitting defenders in some of those highlights which means he was faster than the angles from high level defenders.

    Why in the world would they put an upside down cross on the face of the helmet? I can't even think of anything clever to say.

    Class of 2017 QB Jack Coan (NY) Verbal to Wisconsin

    From the perspective of a NYC resident, Syracuse may as well be in Montana. Distance from home, I think we can sell that aspect. But asking a kid from Brooklyn or Long Island to be loyal to the New York State team is a much harder sell.

    Class of 2016 QB Lindsey Scott Jr (LA) LSU /JUCO / Mizzou/Nicholls St/Incarnate Word

    In theory, that sounds like a solution. But the reality is that my obsessive compulsive behavior regarding this site, which several others likely share, will not allow me to leave any thread orange, or comments unviewed. So, I'm forced to open the thread and scroll through sometimes hundreds of...

    Reno Ferri is new TEs coach

    Good for him. If you're not pushing the limits you're not working.

    Class of 2016 CB Monquavion Brinson (GA) to Georgia Southern

    We talk a lot about losing kids because they don't fit Babers system. IMO, some kids fit every system and Brinson was one of them.

    Class of 2016 DT Eddy Fish (MA) Leaves Illinois/Reeled in by BC

    Well looks like we finished recruiting him.

    Eric White

    Maybe the decision was to free up some money for assistant coaches salaries.

    Swofford = Vince McMahon

    A text message I sent to my brother who is a UNC graduate and attended the game: Sorry about the game last night I don't know if you've seen the replays but there was absolutely no offsides on that onside kick. It's calls like that which really make me wonder if refs fix games. He should be...
  23. VaSaltine

    So what happens now with Babers?

    I'd be very happy if he can get Ward to follow him to Syracuse.

    Campus sports says Monday Scott Frost announcement

    You completely misunderstood the post. Reference is to the Reddit source from how I read it.
  25. VaSaltine

    Eric Dungey

    Complete speculation, but if Frost is the guy I hope Dungey holds no ill will for not being recruited by Oregon and decides to leave. They have to know each other, no question.

    CFB Playoff Rankings

    If UNC wins out they absolutely deserve to be in the playoff. beating Tech at Beamer's last game was an incredible accomplishment in my opinion. Very few teams would have won in that situation. they are playing as good as anyone right now and I predict they do win out and beat Clemson.

    ACC Schools losing money - impact on coaching hire?

    Obviously the cost of college tuition hasn't been rising fast enough over the past 20 years. I sure hope that changes.

    Punting was the right call. Put it in the hands of our best playmaker.

    Ron Thompson's Disappearing Act

    On a positive note, at least we don't have to worry about him not returning for his senior year.

    Virginia Tailgate Thread Oct. 17th

    I have a $12.50 hotel room available for Friday night October 16th, day before the UVA game at the luxurious Super 8 in Charlottesville. I would guess it's about five miles from the stadium. My brother reserved a room assuming a noon kickoff but is now going to make it a day trip with the 3:30...

    CBSSports.com Up to #61

    On a ranking topic note (and I don't know why I do this other than for my own personal enjoyment) but at the beginning of each season I assume we are the #1 ranked team in the country. With our three wins to open the season we retained our #1 ranking. Losing to LSU I had us drop to #8, which...

    Class of 2016 ATH Moe Neal (NC) SIGNED LOI/ENROLLED

    With RW committed, I know the plan was to bring in Neal as the Xback. With RW now out, keeping him at that position is a big mistake. BIG! This kid is a feature tailback that you want touching the ball as many times as possible. No inside info but I can speculate he may be being told the same...

    Good game day morning everyone!

    My Take

    You must have housefly eyes to analyze all those players. That's one hell of a super power. Great write up as always!

    Class of 2016 QB/TE (Jasen) Jay Rose (CT) Leaving UConn

    Pure speculation, but I wonder if the coaching staff wanted to watch him in a live game at quarterback his senior year, realized that this kid is pretty dang good throwing the ball, and reached back out to him to say he would definitely be coming in as a quarterback first option. This in turn...

    Who does #2 remind you of?

    Group eCard for Terrel Hunt

    I believe he was hurt one game too late last season to apply for a 6th year. A fifth year he would have qualified.

    Fredericks

    I just re-watched his sr year highlight tape. How the hell were his only other offers Stoney Brook and Temple? I can only guess competition and possibly not considered breakaway speed? Everything we saw yesterday is on this tape. I guess you never know. Some guys keep developing, some don't. A...

    It looks like Cam Lynch made the Rams 53 man roster

    Final cuts, excellent job Cam! Was anyone else not cut? Even Eskridge got cut. Sighhh, what if. Practice squad signings are announced tomorrow. http://www.stlouisrams.com/news-and-events/article-1/Rams-Announce-Roster-Moves/3891b741-a8ee-43dd-ae6d-a368e4e418b3

    Can Dungey duplicate what John O'Korn did 2 years as a true Frosh starting?

    If he throws for 2000 and has a 2 to 1 TD/interception ratio, that will be a fantastic season. I've said it before about this kid, but aside from the poise and confidence he showed, his intelligence and decision making ability is what will determine if he succeeds this season. I strongly believe...

    Class of 2016 ATH Moe Neal (NC) SIGNED LOI/ENROLLED

    Moe probably knew about RW's de commitment when it allegedly occurred 1-2 months ago. I now wonder if we would have landed Moe if the de commitment HADN'T happened?
