I consider Arkansas the midwest if that helps. What if I change it to say "Deep South"

Arkansas is South.  Some parts are Deep South.

Yes and I just think the relationship with LSU continues to be strong, probably just as strong as with Frost and co. That campus tour is also conveniently when LSU plays Texas. The longer it goes the worse it gets for us in my opinion. 

That is a non conference game.  It will be interesting to see if any of those actually happen.

Visiting LSU September 12th.

 

Also can we add LSU @Mavric

Jumped ship quick.  Hasn’t he always planned on taking visits.  Might not even be a game that day or able to visit coaches at all.  Might be one of those campus tours with the family.  Still think we reel this kid in.  Seems to have a great relationship with some of our recruits and coaches.

From those I've spoken to, it's basically "I don't wanna."  

Yep.  It is unreal.  It goes against their personal freedom.  Yet they are still upset the virus is handicapping their lives.   They just don’t see the connection on how they can impact the situation.  Hey enjoy your personal Non

mask wearing freedoms whenever states are going to have to start locking down again.

Kid is twitchy, physical, and competitive.  His ranking doesn’t change who he is as a player.

Might not have to worry about them.  I have heard talk of only having a conference only schedule to shorten the season.  Possibly 10 games.  Would not be shocked if that is a direction that conferences go.  

I don’t always quote myself, but when I do....

Well in HS here we are having full contact 2.5 hour practices in a covid hotspot.  Youth sports are all in full effect. Crazy the lower the level the less regulated it is.  
 

I think P5 will have a hodgepodge season to try and make some money.  I could see with the no non conference games plan for P5, that the fcs and D2 programs could delay starting until February or so. It would be kind of cool to give them the spotlight and possibly have live football on for most of the year.

Not attacking you at all, please don't think that.  But how would they know those schools were just waiting to offer?

 

 

I can see that being a common thing this cycle.  We have a big OL recruit down here that has several FCS schollies.  6 P5 programs have been in constant contact with him but would like to see him in person before offering.

Lol!!!  Or breaking down film the day after a game.  

Like this get.  For a tall wr he carries the rock well.  having taller wrs will help our perimeter blocking.  Our little guys would get tossed and our TEs were too slow.

I like smothers a lot. Heinrich has next level written all over him. 

I agree.  Heinrich is like a working mans trevor Lawrence (which is not a bad thing).  Makes sense that Clemson was rumored to be sniffing around with him.  
 

Smothers can fly.  Coach’s kid, played with cracked ribs, and has a pretty ball.  He checks a lot of boxes.  
 

McCaffrey has a high ceiling too with legit speed.  Not sure how well he throws yet but has the talent.  
 

AM was a Heisman  dark horse until a myriad of issues hit our offense last year. 
 

Cant wait to see this play out and at the bare minimum I think everyone can agree out QB room will not be an issue moving forward. Which usually means wins will follow.  Also appreciate the bold claim to steer the discussion to something more football related.  2020 sucks.

Heinrich is the best QB recruit of the Frost era. 

Bold statement.  Really like smothers.  Luke and AM pretty good too.

Opens July 1 with guidelines of 10 or less including coach. Masks required if spotting or performing a spotted lift. With only a month to lift and most of that would be spent in the base phase,  we are meeting outside and doing strong man stuff, and football related movements. 

That’s crazy.  We have been lifting, with limited numbers, but have been full go all June. No masks and small groups.  We have had a few practices, but July is when we have about 14 contact days for football.

That's why you listen to the medical experts. Masks are the key to this. Want football? Wear a mask. It's almost that simple.

True that.  Living in the nations number 1 hotspot for Covid growth our city council just voted down mask ordinance.  Unreal.  We are just going to ride it out I guess.

Looking forward to seeing how he fits in at Center in a couple of seasons. 

 

Yes, I'm still salty. 

Cam was not a college TE.  Or at least not nearly as good a TE as he will be a center.  They made the right move.  Fidone could be a freak of a TE at the next level.

This article picks 3... they all make some sense but I might have gone with two or three receivers not just the one.  Maybe trying to spread it out a little.

Throw that article in the trash.  It said our ILB play was a strength and our OLB play was weak.   Both were not very good.

Is a 53 second 400m that fast..? I knew guys in high school who were running ~48s. Granted, they now run D1 track, but 5 seconds is a lot. 

It wouldn’t make a good 4x400 relay team.  The weaker leg on our relay teams is around 53.  It is solid for a LB body type. There is a HS kid from St. Louis this year that ran a 44 and had a shot to qualify for the olympics.  Crazy to watch.  He could beat some solid 400 meter relay teams.  

Can’t hold anything against a commit choosing to re open things right now.  World is crazy and this is a big decision.  I like Paul and think he is a baller.  Fortunately we have been hot recruiting LBs this year.  Wonder if this opens things up for martez thrower.  Trade one Georgia LB for another. 

Might not have to worry about them.  I have heard talk of only having a conference only schedule to shorten the season.  Possibly 10 games.  Would not be shocked if that is a direction that conferences go.
