Wager Resignation and Missing Players From the 120 Man Fall Camp Roster
We will start with the resignation of Bob Wager which became official last week: I’ve seen quite the debate on social media and message boards about how important or unimportant the TE coach is, and if this is a big deal: Personally, and I hate to say this, I agree with Sipple here. Let meContinue reading “Wager Resignation and Missing Players From the 120 Man Fall Camp Roster”
The Second Wave of Commits
We wrote an article about just how curious we were with the recruiting strategy of Rhule after so many non-ranked kids committed here: Rhule and staff then held their second big official visit weekend following camps the second week of June. We go over those commits here and our thoughts (in order of commitment) Dae’VonnContinue reading “The Second Wave of Commits”
The Pyform Recruiting Scenario
I didn’t want this talk track to have people lose sight of the incredible job Rhule and staff have done recruiting. Hats off to them and what they have put together. But if you remember in a previous article of mine, I made mention that i’m not sure I would take a flyer on someContinue reading “The Pyform Recruiting Scenario”
The In-State Recruiting Turnaround
For many of you that followed me on the previous message board, I harped on something that really started rubbing some of the die-hard Frost fans the wrong way. I made mention that our staff was getting out-worked and out-recruited by other teams such as Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Missouri. Even teams likeContinue reading “The In-State Recruiting Turnaround”
3-3-5 vs Minnesota Part 2
As we did yesterday, we will start where this post is coming from, feel free to post this link to your message boards. You have all heard me for years sit and tell people that the 3-4 was fine if we wanted to run it in the B1G since Wisconsin did, tough for me toContinue reading “3-3-5 vs Minnesota Part 2”
3-3-5 vs Minnesota Q1
You have all heard me for years sit and tell people that the 3-4 was fine if we wanted to run it in the B1G since Wisconsin did, tough for me to say it won’t work when the Badgers who got lesser rated recruits than us were a top 10 defense nationally with it. ButContinue reading “3-3-5 vs Minnesota Q1”
Analyzing the recent run of commits
If you’re like me, when Matt Rhule was hired you looked at his track record of turning around programs like Temple and Baylor and thought to yourself “if he can do it at those two spots, certainly he can do it here.” Temple was competing against Penn State, Baylor was going up against the LonghornsContinue reading “Analyzing the recent run of commits”
