Off-season discussion thread

Not really sure what will come of this thread, but if you have random news or just want to post random thoughts, why not put them here?

Rhule came out today saying we won't have a televised spring game any more because all it does is show everybody else your players and then they start getting offers. Kind of sad, but makes sense.

Keeping track of these rosters is a job in and of itself.

I thought you meant no TV.

Actually having no game, eh?

That's wild.

I think there will be something. Ever know an athletic department to cancel revenue generating events?

Ole Miss did this last year. It resembled the Pro Bowl skills competition mixed with a county fair

De Boer bringing Ryan Grubb on to be OC. Don't think this can be a bad thing

 

[FadeTheHype]

Are we implying scouts are in other campuses during spring ball? That's taking things to a whole new level

Some crazy ass numbers there

From what I understand they have been for years.

How much NIL money did this guy get? Mercedes and Lamborghini wow!

 

[cubsker]

Cars are a common NIL gift. I know of a starter, decent, not great player at Nebraska that graduated in 2023. New car or truck to drive around every season.

I hate this. Was my go to for early season capping.

We have a few tweets in here and I'll keep adding but Brad Powers does a great job of providing off-season content like this.

Big Ten Media days, in August, are in Vegas next year.

I'm seeing a lot of enthusiasm and also a sense of fear from these younger contributors on the recruiting sites.

Outside of Auburn/Baylor that looks like a pretty unwatchable slate of Fridays

And yes, I'd say that even if ISU was on the schedule

Multi issues @gps_3

I'm not even sure what Kirby is supposed to do about this. I guess come down really hard on the discipline side, but it's not like he can take their drivers' licenses away. Though I guess the state could handle that end of it.

Gary Danielson is retiring after this season.

Stanford hired Frank Reich as interim coach. Seems about as good as you could do at this point.

 

[B.A.R.]

Tough break for IU.

I figured he'd be a solid piece for the Hoosiers.

 

[spottie2935]

According to my data and the history and records I keep. It most likely will be profitable fading Notre Dame in 2025. Looking back to last season their lines were very manageable. After their loss to NIL, sent everyone to bed. Then they were only -7 to the worst B10 team in Purdue.

Nothing but data applies to them thus far, they are one of the tops on my radar.

 

[cubsker]

Interested to see who wins the qb battle in south bend. Angeli looked solid in the playoffs.

It is going to be an interesting battle. I think Carr has the highest upside. Minchey is probably the most athletic and we've seen Angeli can be productive. Spring Game is this weekend but that won't tell us much...at least I don't think it will.

Interesting side note is that Nico Imaleava is "holding out" for more NIL money or something like that at Tennessee. I wonder if the Vols come after Minchey since he's from Tennessee if he doesn't get a chance in South Bend.

 

[twinkie13]

Nico gone from Tennessee

Nico gone from Tennessee

Good. Maybe this will get the ball rolling on what a farce all this transfer portal/NIL BS and get some kind of guidelines going.

Yeah this garbage is completely ruining the sport.

UFL and CFB integrating would make so much sense at this point

 

[VirginiaCavs]

If i‘m a Vols fan i say good riddance to the spoiled man-child bitch.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

We‘re getting farther away from the days where these guys valued their schools. This was supposed to separate them from the NFL. Now we get unlikable immature divas who just care about making more money for themselves

 

[VirginiaCavs]

He‘s not even that great lmao. The ego is honestly astonishing. I have no idea who would want such a toxic presence on their team

Totally agree. I don't see how another team or coach would want this kid after all of this. Whoever this kids "handlers" are really screwed him.

Somebody show him the playoff game tape

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Or how about every road game except Vanderbilt. Or all the games where he failed to throw for 180 with all of those weapons around him. Dude is a poor man's Brock Purdy who himself isn't all that great lol

 

[gps_3]

I bet Nico ends up getting less than if he’d stayed at Tennessee

 

[Foxtrot]

Thought i read unc is the front runner...

There was a fake tweet saying UNC was going to sign him, but I think they are out of it for now. Just saw that schools are waiting for him to come down on his demands. They think it should be closer to $1 million. His dad and uncle or whatever probably cost him over a million

 

[B.A.R.]

Working out perfectly

Nico to UCLA. Good luck.....

 

[cubsker]

Corso retiring. One last appearance aug 30.

 

[Bandit779]

Notre Dame QB Steve Angeli to portal. Good kid and hard not to root for. I think ND most likely told him he'd probably be behind Carr and possibly Minchey. Just my guess but I think this pretty much cements CJ Carr starts first week.
