Spring Football Thread

Not atypical for first round talents not to work out.

You've had tens of thousands of posts on this board, but this may be your best work. Also, you owe me a new iMac as this one's covered in coffee from when I burst out laughing whilst catching the absolute fucking gem. Hat tip, amigo!

I’m bed ridden sick, and laughing sends me to near passing out from lack of oxygen of coughing, so I’ve been trying to avoided threads that I know I’ll laugh in. Spring football thread seemed safe! Nope laughed so hard I almost met my maker!

Didn't he start at Nebraska? I seem to remember as a TE.

Man, that sucks amigo. Hope you'e on the mend.

BUT ... if I had to pick a way to go, dying from laughter ... well, it beat the hell out of a lotta other ways to meet your maker.

Love ya Rhule but that’s just coach speak.

You can’t loose TR and NH and not take a step back.

26 seems a bit low, no?

I had him in the lower 30s.

Line is overall more talented this year. I don't think it's coach speak at all.

More talented, less experienced.

The beauty of college football is that losing some talented guys doesn't necessarily mean the replacement guys won't end up being as effective or even more effective as a unit given some time to gel.

Based on what I observed last year Jeudy is going to have to take a massive step forward in physicality for this to be even close to true.

Next to my every year worry (since 1999) on the OLINE, the DLINE is my biggest worry for 2025.

He did. HS QB who tried TE here. Was at NU at least two years. Never heard a thing from him. And then he transferes and is an NAIA all-American.Yeah, he looks pretty good in those pro-day clips, but who knows if an NAIA all-American would translate into be a contributor in the Big Ten. The fact he didn't even crack a special team while at NU kinda makes me doubt it.

But, maybe he was a late bloomer and all the more power to him if he can make it as a pro somewhere.

Yeah I don't think it was a bad deal that he transferred. I'm glad he found success but NAIA isn't exactly the big leagues.

As I got to thinking, I do remember seeing him play at state basketball when he was a senior and he was an impressive athlete. Best of luck to him.

Yes. And as I recall, he got in a bit of hot water for throwing down an uncontested dunk in the final seconds of the state final.
