After watching a couple of podcasts with Tim a few nugs.

He sees Anthony Jones and Tawfiq Thomas as depth guys. Add 1-2 more edge guys, need 2-3 more inside guys.

Coaches have been very active with DL recruiting but for one reason or another it has worked out yet. Everyone is after DTs. Better shape this year without a DL coach with Aurich, Manning, and Simpson helping there.

He thinks they are after another QB, and one if not two more RBs. Which was funny because that was with DB and Ravi.

He really likes the new LBs and the Safety. Probably need one more DB like a Ceyair Wright if possible who can play different spots.

Thinks they are good with the UCLA WR.

1-2 more OL

If we dont see something on DL commits/visits or a coach hire by this time next week then it would be time to start worrying.

Need more elite recruiters on staff.

On the DL coach it doesn't look like they had a plan B ready to go after ERob. Doesn’t see the IWCC coach as a fit for what Rhule wants he's more of a developer vs recruiter it's a big jump from recruiting Juco to P4.

Probably some more but that's what I remember off the top of my head. Also Tim seems to be more open on Schaefers new podcast than with DB and Ravi we'll see if it lasts.
 
He probably won’t do this but I’m at the point with Dylan where I’m almost wondering if he shouldn’t go to a high end AAC team and take a team to the CFP versus going to like Georgia Tech or Wake Forest

Tulane has money and had Jake Retzlaff last year, now has an opening at QB for this season. Could probably get ~$1-$2M based on what they were paying Retzlaff and offered to Mensah, would have the best roster in the league, get 2 P4 games/opportunities @ Duke and @ Kansas State, would likely make the CFP if they win one/both of those and the AAC. Then positions himself to portal next year or go straight to the NFL
Could go to the Big 12 and see why Margaritas were so tempting.

I like Tim and think he provides great coverage, but if we don't have any DL commits/visits and no coach by this time next week, then Rhule needs to be fined by the University for dereliction of duty.

The transfer portal closes by this time next week. LATE registration for spring semester ends on 1/20 I believe. There's no more fucking time after next week. Next week is all they have left.

If we don't have any progress on the DL by this time next week then you have to ask serious questions about who is leading this program right now.
 
The NCAA is going to do whatever possible to create chaos and pissedoffness because they're a shell of themselves and want Congress to step in to intervene on their behalf, because they've been told to go fuck themselves.

I believe this conspiracy.
Good. Enforce the rules.
I agree with it but make it standard.

Carson beck in is 6th year and his injury was toward the end of the year
I agree with all of this. Ridiculous Congress is even involved but you are correct that the NCAA is useless shell so they need daddy to step in.

It's very much a double standard that Beck got his and Chambliss was denied.

Carson Beck be like

I agree. He was answering the question about people asking him when they should start to panic about the DL transfers and the DL coach. I think he said the beginning of next week on Schaefer's podcast yesterday.

I like Tim he seems to be more realistic about how things are going than most but is smart enough to sugar coat it a little so it doesn't sound too negative.

I think he's definitely concerned about the DL recruiting and the DL hire.

The time to panic was when A&M hired Robinson and there was no word Nebraska had interviewed anybody else for the job

so we appear to be targeting a total of about 20 portal additions
 
we heard about the Auburn DL coach interview before he stayed with Auburn. Assuming Okam was interviewed because of all the smoke.
could be Okam was interviewed, but there would be smoke even if he wasn't because of Rhule's history with him. I don't think Okam fit the role Rhule is apparently envisioning.
