Better than good. Maybe TN wasn’t good enough but Knecht was
I’m thinking you are way off on this. I bet you can’t find 10 students or team mates that think it’s a good idea to not take the millions in NIL money. I think he is foolish. He can make enough in college to get a really good head start in life. There is only a slim chance he ever gets to the NFL I don’t care what his last name is.
I didn’t see it after his Jr year but this past year was like night and day. He worked hard and it paid off in improved downfield throws and making the correct progressions and reads.
McCarthy is about as close to Daniels as Marvin Harrison is to Malik Nabers. Can’t even see them in the rear view mirror
Very true at RB. Brian Thomas Jr is the WR that nobody is talking about. He was clocked at 23 mph on a go route. And he has already proven he can catch TDs. I mean, how do you cover that.
Nabers is definitely WR1 this year. The guy that had a great combine is Brian Thomas Jr. Best overall score ever for a LSU player. Was clocked at 22.91 mph while running a go route(Top speed recorded). Try covering that
Physically and pure talent, Williams barely. Mentally I go with Daniels. He went to work before last year and improved his game tremendously and closed the gap between them. Williams looked disinterested last year and I think that transferred to his team.
Banging knees hurts. No two ways about it. Duke player didn’t cause it. He was supposed to be on the court. My prediction, court storming is about to come to a screeching halt. Some fans about to get arrested. Schools having to pay a fine is no deterrent to kids. Being hauled off to jail and finding bail money will. If they don’t do something to stop it someone is going to get hurt. Then when the lawsuits start the real money will begin.
Well he did take more money. I was being facetious but it’s generally true when coaches voluntarily move. They are not taking less money. I’m sure moving closer to home and family was a factor and ND giving him more money had nothing to do with it. And I sincerely and graciously thanked him for his time with us
It’s an NFL rule and it has been challenged in court. Remember Maurice Clarett? My point is there are rules out there that restrict a person’s right to go to make money. Unlike a lot of folks on here, I don’t think I’m an attorney. He said folks are cherry picking the parts of this ruling they like. He said they couldn’t restrict them making money. He did not say NCAA could not restrict recruiting based upon what the NCAA “members” agreed to follow. The judge also said he was willing to consider what rules the NCAA wanted.
One ruling by a federal judge blocking enforcement of a rule does not make law so let’s don’t jump too far ahead on this. Lots of rules go counter to what we think is just. Why do football players have to wait 3 years after high school to play in the NFL? What’s so magic about 3? Why basketball players now have to wait only 1 year? What about 3? Why do baseball players get to sign before they even get out of high school if you aren’t from the US but you do if you are in the US? A whole lot of money involved in sports. This ain’t over
Why don’t they ever say “because they paid me more money too”. Thanks for your time in BR! Enjoyed watching the offense you directed which allowed Daniels and the whole offense group to really perform
Reeves can flat out play. He needs to get more shots
What kind of idiot would look at the score at half last night and then decide the Tigers are done. Stick a fork in them. Then let his wife turn on Netflix and never look back again. I saw that idiot. In the mirror this morning. I did watch Calipari after the game about 4-5 times. He really looked like he was going to puke.
It is like Klatt is talking about the Daniels from 2 years ago, Williams from 2 years ago and Maye from his man crush because no one but Klatt has ever seen this Maye he is talking about. Daniels QBR last year was 40 points better than Williams and 60 better than Maye. And most importantly, Daniels team played harder for him
Who is RJ Young? Absolutely no reason to believe that Daniels goes the path of Manziel. His current and past habits have no resemblance to Manziel. This person linking the 2 is complete idiocy.
Everyone saying TX goes 11-1 just because they play GA. I’m not buying it. Ewers is fragile. The last 2 years he has missed time. Manning is going to look soft in relief. The middle of the pack SEC team would be top shelf B12. Wait till they have to play them week after week What has Sark won? Exactly I don’t see what Hayes sees and I don’t think that is a bad thing.
Well SEC fans are so refined and well mannered that if Texas will just ask them and explain that it hurts their feelings when people do that nasty horns down sign they will promise not to do that. In fact as a show of good will, Mike the Tiger would like to invite Bevo the hamburger on the hoof for a sleepover.
Just as an update. Holly has come out and stated that he is completely innocent and was at home when the incident occurred. I’m not naive enough to think good kids don’t do stupid things sometimes. I live about 20 miles from Holly’s hometown and I have always heard really good things about Holly and his family. High character seems to be repeated a lot. Again, I’m not saying that it couldn’t have happened but I was totally shocked when I heard the initial news.
Highest issue I see is his size. He was one helluva player for Georgia. But NFL TEs are bigger, stronger.
Same reason I don’t want anyone good going to the Falcons.
Well bless your little hearts. How many folks can y’all squeeze in that little place now adays?
Jones hit the longest HR I saw last year at The Box. That boy can crush it
Losing what I thought was the best pitching coach in the country is going to be our biggest challenge. Wes Johnson left some big shoes to fill
I had very similar thoughts. Our Mississippi scools fell off a cliff last year. Shows the level of play across the SEC and if you slip just a little bit whether it’s talent or injuries or just relax a bit after winning the CWS you can take a tumble. Both these schools have excellent programs and I don’t expect them to stay down.
First of all and speaking from experience. It is no fun living under the cloud of NCAA investigation. They drag this out for years and do more damage to a school’s reputation than anything. By the time punishment comes the perpetrators are long gone so don’t expect this to be resolved any time soon but don’t be so naive to think it’s going away. Now it has long been settled that you don’t fly your recruits around on private jets belonging to the school or their boosters. You can jump up and scream it wasn’t UT it was the collective and UT has no control over them. Nothing is harder to control than a rich man showing off his money but UT better. Next you don’t defend yourself by saying every other school is doing the same thing. You just admitted you did it and you are justifying it by ratting on others. Not a way to keep your friends . Remember the old saying, snitches get stitches. All this to say. Looks like you broke at least 1 rule. It’s no fun being in the principal’s office. Take the licks if they give you a choice between licks or suspension. Watch your rich friends next time. They will get you in trouble
So hard to repeat even if you trotted out the exact same team. Lost a ton of experience. Bringing back a lot of players that got a lot of playing time last year though. Brought in some really talented players. If the injury bug leaves us alone this year we should have a good year. I’m just glad it’s finally here. Love college baseball.
One thing we can almost 100% count on. The Saints won’t pick any LSU players. I sure wish they would prove me wrong.
