Highsmith was a late bloomer, but if he put up 14 sacks 21 TFL in his junior season instead of his senior season, he gets lured away from here, no question, how many players got lured away with significantly less productive stats, stop with the wishingful thinking, they are all taking the money now in basketball and football, it is the new reality
But that wasn’t the system, and he stayed, so lets celebrate it!!
Hate to change the subject (that’s a lie!) but somebody give us a clue re spring practice. Anybody popping?
The article said our football NIL pool was 1.2 million last year. They are looking to have about the same this year.
clt hopes highsmith taught him a few tricks to his spin move
Very encouraged by what I’m seeing and hearing. It’s easy to love your group in the spring though. But it looks like we are a bit more traditional and functional.
Could it be that we finally hired a coach that knows what he is doing? I really like what I am seeing as well.
I hope we sneak up on everyone and pull a Tulane with a really special year. They went from 2-10 in 2021 to 12-2 in 2022. It can be done but we shall see. One can dream! Go Niners!
I’m always cautious. Nobody has ever said anything negative about their coach in spring #1.
any news on Sean Brown or the others receiving waivers for another season?
If we sneak up on anyone give me App. I want to break that duck.
A guy from App told me this week if we do not beat them this year we may never beat them.
We were starting the Biff buzz at spring practice last year.
All the coach talk is great but we got to have players.
Rudy is not going to win the game for us with his attitude.
I will go into the new season with my typical dumb optimism but
one comment that I have heard from a casual observer is that we look really small.
Any other comments on this??
I thought we looked small when the team were introduced at a basketball, but without pads and another team it is always hard for me to tell
I do think we made a much better head coach hire than App did. That first game will be a toss-up.
clt imagines we will be -3 against appy
That’s my worry.
I dont want another William & Mary game. I think year 1 of Albin might be that though. Lots of hard workers but don’t measure up in the trenches.
I dont really get that sentiment. We didn’t bring in lower ranked transfers on the lines than under biff. I imagine if our line is saller, it will be more skilled, cohesive, and well coached.
