What about Majestic Map?I could live with “King”. Would probably struggle with Scientific Map though

I thought Barnes was excellent as a true freshman. Good size. I’m not as high on Kerr as others seem to be. Too small. Barnes is a legitimate high end prospect.Barnes started 4 games, 2 we lost, had 10 tackles 3 pd's and 0 ints. We loved the idea of him as an athlete and 4 star but actual on field production improved with Kerr in his place. Peal is a bigger, faster (10.75), and was higher rated (92) 4 star.
Zeed played 2 games and had 8 recs and 0 TDs. We loved the idea of him as a 4.3 burner that we hadn't seen in decades on the hill... Cook is also a 4.3 burner as are many of the younger guys now vying for starting roles.
KJE was arguably our biggest recruiting win but hit campus soft and light. He had 7 tackles, 3 sacks (all against Holy Cross) and didn't seem to completely buy in to Fran's program per multiple comments made in interviews. Reese coming into replace him is a literal and figurative grown ass man at 27 years old and appears to live in the weight room.
I had the same high hopes for all 3 but production wise it may well be addition by subtraction if all replacements buy in where the former hadn't
Kerr is bigger than Barnes and hits/tackles much better. Barnes trying to tackle was abysmalI thought Barnes was excellent as a true freshman. Good size. I’m not as high on Kerr as others seem to be. Too small. Barnes is a legitimate high end prospect.
Yeah, this isn’t the reason. Kid just wasn’t a good fit with the team. He’ll land somewhere else and hopefully learn from his experiences here and what to do differently.IMO, I think KJE and his NIL budget was cut by Fran to give more NIL money to sign Calvin Russell
I love itNever a good sign when the athlete's are "away from the program."
Zeed - Gone
Barnes - Gone
KJE - Gone
That's some talent right there, but if you can't do the simple things then it's best for the program he moves on. Culture is huge. It's the building blocks for a successful program. Once you establish your culture, everything can follow.
I will be interested to see where KJE ends up. He's up to 240lb. At 6'4 240 he had the potential to be a good pash rusher at this level.
Barnes technique was terrible. Kerr is smaller but a football playerI thought Barnes was excellent as a true freshman. Good size. I’m not as high on Kerr as others seem to be. Too small. Barnes is a legitimate high end prospect.
He's also very coachable and has a great work ethic. He's scrappy -- wouldn't be surprised if he reminds Fran of himself in many ways. Has a chip on his shoulder and plays with it. I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops in year two. He was thrown into the deep end and survived.Barnes technique was terrible. Kerr is smaller but a football player

I’m partial to Britannica or Funk & Wagnall’s Hammond World Atlas.What about Majestic Map?
the announcer will really have to enunciate whether its Davien or DavionI can't wait for Kerr's twin brother to sub in for him and we all get very confused
They should just make their jerseys read E Kerr and I Kerr. Just omit the rest of the first name letters. Or maybe First Kerr and Second Kerr. Anything else will be way too confusing.the announcer will really have to enunciate whether its Davien or Davion

They’re both listed at 6’1 180, but i thought Barnes seemed bigger. For all the credit people give Kerr for being serviceable when thrown in, let’s not forget Barnes started some of the first 5 guys as a true freshman. I’d say Barnes has the higher potential, Kerr is scrappy.Kerr is bigger than Barnes and hits/tackles much better. Barnes trying to tackle was abysmal

Has he actually entered the portal yet?
I think they should randomly swap Jersey Numbers for games (legit roster submits), make other teams try to rem who is who.They should just make their jerseys read E Kerr and I Kerr.

Thanks! I was curious because a few days ago one of those national recruiting analysts said he hadn’t officially entered the portal.
I'd say there's an information vacuum that needs to be filled in this situation.The fact he hasn't been picked up yet/signed anywhere... is interesting
oh boy, don't poke the bear.I'd say there's an information vacuum that needs to be filled in this situation
