re: Air Raid Concepts with Mike Leach.

I always thought that if he had a truly mobile QB that could run his system where he could dial up 3-5 designed QB runs (and also just to evade the pressure), his system could be absolutely lethal. The biggest weakness... at least on his latter teams... seemed to be that his QBs were absolute statues back there.

Anybody have the visitors list for this weekend? It's supposed to be an incredible list.

Dominate instead of dominant.
I was just talking to someone about this the other day. I honestly believe this is the most misspelled commonly used word in the world now. Their/there/they're, your/you're, and to/too/two have nothing on dominant/dominate. I see it misspelled about 10x more often than I see it spelled correctly.
re: SEC Office: 44% of the erroneous calls in the UGA/AU game went in Auburn’s favor

The worst call in that game was the make-up call that went against Uga immediately after the Kirby timeout fiasco. I can't remember if it was a holding or personal foul, but I just remember that whatever it was was completely ridiculous.

I've had a feeling we will come out flat as a pancake next week. Just gotta find a way to get the W and get to the bye week. I'm sure the team is exhausted getting through the first half of this gauntlet.

And why are there no highlights of him since his sophomore season? Can he play? I'm sure if our staff is still recruiting him, he's at least interesting. But yeah... it's a bizarre recruitment.

I think we are taking more fringe recruits now at the back end of the class (I'm not saying Simmons was one of those) based on the reality of dollars and cents. You can't financially just take all the highest rated recruits anymore. You also have to fill with guys that might be developmental. Maybe those guys surprise you or get thrust into roles and perform well. As for individual players, there are a myriad of reasons why a guy who is very talented might be rated lower than guys who aren't as good.
Moscona has Tide Derangement Syndrome and I love that he looks like a fool.
Agreed. I'll also say that "late bloomer" targets become more important, too. The OT (Doughty) that we just got was one of those that was initially missed and didn't go to camps. It also appears that the DL we're after (Franklin Whitley), the TE we recently offered (that played basketball-only until this year), and the two WRs we're after sort of fit this. The WRs are 4* guys, but they both look much better than their rankings to me. Evaluations/eyes for talent become important when trying to get "deals" these days.

I would expect us to be ULTRA picky on who we would add for the 2026 class... if we even take anyone else (other than we're still working Tamk Jones along with Miami just in case). Someone I trust posted that the staff already have 1-2 more committed than they initially planned to take out of HS. They supposedly wanted to hold more spots available for the portal than the past couple years with the intention of spending a LOT more this portal class.
While this wasn't mentioned, I would assume that the majority of the emphasis will be on DL/LB.

As a Bama fan, with the absolutely absurd meat grinder we have left, I'll be happy if we go 6-2 the rest of the way to finish 9-3.

Just nasty. All 7 SEC teams (and all 8 in totality counting Uga) are top 25 caliber teams (and all have been ranked),

1-13, this team has wayyyy more talented depth. Starting 5, though, 22-23 was better on paper.

I think the general consensus on Tank is that it's best for Bama the longer he waits.
ATM is a big threat for Tank. They are supposedly offering a HUGE amount of money. The impression I get is that he wants to go to Bama, but we're not offering what ATM is. Hopefully, he comes our way.
Not to mention the WRs that Shepherd evaluated and developed at Purdue.(David Bell and Rondale Moore) and Washington State (River Cracraft) that are all still playing in the NFL.

My apologies then. Guess I need to keep up a lot better.

I'll give you the attention you desperately seek.
Definitely seems like the plan is to load up on the players this staff evaluated and wants.... whether it's 5*s, 4*s, or 3*s.

Ponatoski is likely to be a 1st rd draft pick (or at least a high enough round for him to likely not turn it down) in the upcoming MLB draft.
I looked up some guys individually.
Zay Hall is today (June 27)
Xavier Griffin is Sunday (June 29)
Brian Williams, Jr is July 1
Cedarian Morgan is July 2
Jireh Edwards is July 5
I've not been able to find a date for Owen Cabell, though I'm almost certain that I read that it's expected soon.

Is there a list somewhere that shows who is expected to announce/commit in the next week?
