yeah... hope we can host a regional but honestly I'm not sold on this team being able to take 2-3 on the road in a super with how shaky our pitching has been.
Hope I'm wrong.....

Any chance the Semedo contributes this year? That would help some.

Almost feels like Cal is counting on him to contribute, otherwise surely we would have been more aggressive on portal bigs..... I would think... but heck I have no idea what Cal is thinking at the 5.

And couldn't win an SEC game

When I was an OC in HS, I went to the Tony Franklin system about 10 years in. Tried to run it all. We were ok at all of it but never got great at much. Cost us a lot of games. Later in my career we went to a more simplified version that focused a lot more on gap runs and RPO.... got really good at a lot less stuff. Suddenly our offensive numbers skyrocketed and we won a lot more. Granted I was at some schools that weren't powerhouses so win totals are relative, but I learned fewer tools and sharper blades seemed to be a better system than having the fanciest tool box out there.
I always felt like that was BP to an extent.... Offensive genius... but I just think it was too much for MOST college kids.... Obviously he had a special group his first go here.... but it never really felt like his QB's "got it" this time around.
I know enough of his scheme that I was very frustrated that Taylen's eyes went to the wrong read on the snap frequently and he just couldn't follow post-snap movement in the secondary. To me that speaks of the playbook being too big and he probably needed more time with fewer progressions.
Just my 2 cents from a former HS guy. I clearly am not and never will be on these guys' level, but a lot can be said for being great at a few things.

I agree. I think we have fixed that. Seems like we might have a legit defensive staff again that doesn't just fly with the flavor of the week. Offensively we should be more measured and better at what we do even if the playbook is a little skinnier (it has to be, BP probably had one of the biggest playbooks in CFB).

You brought him up.
I also said the play of the frontcourt (group of players) didn't match the play of the backcourt (a separate group of players). Do you think everyone in the backcourt was generational? Because that's the only way what you said would make any sense.

You're just trolling at this point. Everyone who watched the team knows the frontcourt was the weakness all year. It was brought up from December to March.

Boy ya'll got fiesty yesterday!!!! :rotflmao:

I think we are all a little worked up that we haven't fixed our weaknesses yet.

That is not even remotely the case.

If that list is accurate, Lousiville has spent their money much better than everyone so far this portal season.

Building a new 40x60 insulated shop with an additional 15x60 drop shed off the side. If you could do it again what do you wish you would have built into your shop?

Still wishing I had one.... My better half doesn't seem to think it's a priority. Wasn't for me until my youngest turned 16 and now my Bass Cat is out in the yard instead of warm and cozy in the garage.
So now I need one bad.

I'd like to have a 30-36 with an overhang on each side and a loft.
I'd use one overhang for storage and the other for an outdoor cooking/entertainment area.
I will also probably slope the slab and put water and drains in it so I can clean boat/vehicles inside and also so I can pull the boat plug and drain livewells without worrying about water damage.

Outside of that, I'd just be tickled to have a shop.

Yeah these are two really good portal gets, but still haven't addressed the real problem of a top tier 5.

Solid get, Still need a true 5 that can be a force of nature.
