Recruiting has felt a bit slow but it sounds like June will be a big month for commits. The staff seems to feel like they’re right on schedule for amount of commits they’ll have before the season starts. Important to get a nice foundation while leaving options open. Should have some great in-season visit opportunities. No real complaints other than it looks like we didn’t/won’t raid Colorado in recruiting like I had hoped.

That doesn’t seem like all that daunting of a task imo. I’m not saying those guys aren’t good. Just that the depth chart presents favorably to a prep ILB imo.

I definitely think early PT is a favorable pitch right now. I think he could compete for a starting job right away in camp if/when he gets here.

His offer list has exploded in the last month or so. I’m not sure I see him as a TE though. Looks more like a tall WR imo.

Looks like another impact player for them with ILB Nate Landman and WR LaViska Shenault, Jr. I’ve been seeing Shenault, Jr mocked as a top 10 pick in this upcoming draft, he might be the best offensive player we play against this year.

I’m not worried and the sky is not falling or anything, but I think this type of thing is “good” attrition if CJ is a junior or senior and hasn’t cracked the starting 11. That’s when we want to mutually move him on and get the extra scholarship and let him find somewhere he could play. But as a redshirt FR, it seems like a missed opportunity to develop a top recruit we landed. Oh well, I wish him the best. I think this could hurt on depth and special teams but I do agree that the writing was potentially on the wall with who we are adding to fall camp.

Truly the best kickoff time possible for that Colorado game. Should have a ton of viewers again.

I watched a bit of their spring game on TV. Meh. JAGs everywhere. I will say that I came away impressed by their WRs. Shenault, Jr didn’t play yet they still had several playmakers and big targets. Their secondary is bad, so I don’t mean to overrate their WRs, but they did look good and fast. Good early test for our secondary. Their ILBs are their second best unit in my opinion, lead by Landman. He’s fun to watch even if he’s a Buff. Montez still “scares” me to an extent just because he can make some incredible plays. But he also makes a ton of mistakes and we are going to force several with our 2nd year defense and the fact that our DLine and edge rushers are so much better than their OLine. I think we get revenge in a big way.

There’s an annoying Iowa fan who sounds like an eagle (or a hawk?) every time Iowa scores.

Roby making Copeland proud today.

Checks every box in my opinion including recruiting ties to our conference. The kind of staff poaching that the elites do.
