    Good one.  And They have a pretty good roster.
     

    Jerome Ford RB.  Poor man’s Kareem Hunt 

  • Good half for Bama's WR J. Williams.. Myjai Sanders/ Ahmad Gardner for the Cats..

    Lukes got to give Ridder some quick release play-calls.. 

    Will Anderson showing why he may go before... Brice Young in 2023 

    Liking the espn tv screen options?

    edit--note Bama WR J. Williams/ Cinn... handled all kickoffs.. no punt returns.. 

  • It wasn't clear to me just how down of a year this cfb season was until watching this Bama - Cincy game.  

    Both teams have some very glaring flaws but they're top 4? 

    2019 LSU, tOSU and Clemson are better than these squads.

    These were “rebuilding” years for OSU and Bama. Both teams should be better next year.   OSU had some recruiting misses on defense, but a new chief should right the ship.

    Michigan will fall back to Earth next season. 

    This year is Georgia and UCs shot.  
     

    USC will be back it may not be next year but they appear to be recruiting to their old standard 

    And Will Anderson is a dude

    SC will be interesting to watch. It's nothing short of a tragedy they aren't a top 10 program year in and out.     SoCal weather, celebrity alumni, beaches, facilities and girls... why wouldn't you go to SC? 

    Of course it's worth pointing out, for nearly 20 years before Pete Caroll, SC was pretty medicore and they've been below average since he left for Seattle.

    If you take away that 10 year PC stretch, SC hasn't been consistently good since the 70's.

    Well they spilt the talent pool with UCLA during a lot of that time (not when Sheriff Pete was in town)z The SC and UCLA campuses offer two different environments University Park area vs Westwood. One has security guards everywhere out of necessity the other has unlocked Maseratis.  SC isn’t exactly a slam dunk sell in regard to location.

    I don’t expect them to split anything with UCLA moving forward….they just took two OSU leans.  They will be competing now with Bama, OSU and Georgia for the countries best. 
     

  • This RB class looks as deep as the WR class.. (bell-cow backs seem to have gone missing.. Now catch & YaC ? )

    Michigan will senior roster out every TE #1 to #4 after they lose ?  

    halftime edit- Ga. QB Bennett getting 1.5 yard cushions in pockets..McNamara ain't seen a clean pocket

  • James Cook RB Georgia wow what a game

    What's your west coast opinion on this guy?  Is he Garrett Wilson/Olave/ J.Williams gifted? I noted J. Williams can play both short & deep passing levels. KO returns but no Punt returns vs.Cats..

    Can London do both in ST's ? Any former injury concerns? I've seen a lot of WR rankings are scattered on London at this point... Thanks !

    I think it was just the ankle this year. I don’t think he was a special teams guy at all at USC. He flashed right away at USC but of course put together the monster year this year.

     I think he will be a matchup issue at the next level and huge red zone threat. He will eat the smaller corners alive.  Pour through his highlights you see ALOT of contested catches. Looks covered but makes the catch…Climbing over guys (probably has a great vertical if he tests) and he plays through contact.     Looks like a good route runner too. If he tests well (40 time) we will not see him with our pick.  

    I like wrestlers in the trenches and basketball players on the perimeter and he was a highly touted basketball player too.  He went to USC to play football and Basketball 

    He’s probably learning the position a little more still than a guy like Garrett Wilson who has a tad more polish to his game (so I’d think Drake may have more upside).

    Thanks! good to know.. I don't see much left coast late games.. read somewhere his ankle was a fracture..

    Seems like the buckeyes are a factory of DB's.. SC seems to turn out a factory of good route tree WR's.. https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/lists/usc-trojans-football-top-20-receivers-all-time/

    This WR class of straight 40 times looks to be fast.. while just being fast, won't get WR's open at this next level.. Verticals.. DPJ jumped out of the gym.. but I have not seen him use it or a desire to go up/ fight for one.. to me, I'm stuck figuring out, if DPJ is WR2 or WR3?

    I try to watch WR tape with a few things in mind../can they continue fast feet in turns on a dime?/hands?/ball security?/blocking?/can they physically rip off press man? any ST tangibles?

    I certainly will check London out ?     

  • This nose for UK... #50 vs Iowa right now.  He's catching my eye.   And if there's one thing I've been good at the last few years, it's finding mid to late round IDL.

    down south they call M&M's McCall... baby jordan davis... another 350 pound of man that can move

    I wouldn't call him baby nothing. He's every bit the part of 350.  

    Get a big boy like that to shed 20lbs or so and you might have something. 

  • goes by Marquan McCall..

    6'3 358lb on school site.. Played at Oak Park, Detroit Mi.

     // Senior vs Senior... McCall vs. #1 rated Center from Iowa..

  • Watching the Notre Dame game now, made me think that ever since Chase Claypool was drafted by the Steelers, I've wanted the Browns to add someone like him to the WR group. (Without his personality, though)

    Who are some big, physical WRs in this class?

    Claypool & DK Metcalf had combine frames of 230's in a 6'3" frame..

    Arkansas WR Treylon Burks plays in a physical SEC.. He's the closest built at 6"3" 225.... I'm a wait and see on Burks 40 time..Claypool 4.42 DK 4.33

    Most compare Burks to AJ Brown

  • I can't remember who said they were interviewing Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njiba together (maybe Herbstreit?) but the interviewer point-blank asked all three who the best WR was in the room.

    Both Olave and Wilson pointed at Smith-Njiba.

    It was Herbie…and route running and YAC ability absolutely- JSN is better here. 
     

    OSU will have a better duo next year if you can believe that JSN and Harrison Jr.
