I hope they sell a piece of everything they can and funnel all that cash into NIL. Lane's visor during warmups, sunglasses, watch, ipad case, the equipment cart, the turf, the bench, the field goal post, etc etc etc

Agree 100% there is no reason to play hard games against out of conference opponents.

Tennessee Vols just flipped a 4* from Ohio State

Legend Bey ATH 4*

---Committed but Unsigned---
Lamar Brown 5* DL
Deuce Geralds 4* DL
Trenton Henderson 4* EDGE
Havon Finney 4* CB
Dylan Purter 4*S
Bryson Cooley 4* OT

---Signed---
Jabari Mack 4* WR
Brysten Martinez 4* OT
Corey Barber 4* WR (flipped from Ole Miss)
Braydon Allen 3* WR
Dezyrian Ellis 3* S
Isaiah Washington 3* S
Aiden Hall 4* S
JC Anderson 4* TE
Ryan Miret 3* OL
Richard Anderson 5* DL

I guess they tried it back in '20-21 and ultimately decided to go with Jameis.

He is 6'2" and Ratt is only 6"

Taysom went 7-4 as a starter. Ratt 1-13.
Taysom had 64% completion rate. Ratt 55%.
Taysom passed for 7.8 yds/attempt. Ratt 5.7.

He's 35 now so that is an issue but you are probably right overall, need to move on.

I think we should have traded Ratt for some picks before the deadline. Why didnt we ever build around Taysom more?

We have to beef up our Oline or it doesnt matter who is in there at QB.

Its a bit of a chicken/egg situation. The hardest position to fill is a QB you can build around. So keep drafting QBs until you find the guy you want to build around.

But if you dont have a strong line then even the best QB is going to struggle.

Imagine Loomis is fired and you are the GM. Do you draft Mendoza or do you trade back and load up on picks to rebuild?

What do you do?

What does the Chancellor do?

Grok thinks these are the players going in the draft:

Garrett Nussmeier
Harold Perkins Jr.
Patrick Payton
Ashton Stamps
Whit Weeks
Barion Brown
Mansoor Delane
Kaleb Jackson
Nic Anderson
Paul Mubenga
Javien Toviano
Tyree Adams
DJ Chester
Ja'Keem Jackson
Aaron Anderson
Tamarcus Cooley
A.J. Haulcy
Kyle Parker

Or maybe you run a dual QB gameplan. Certain plays for MVB and keep him going while he is hot. If he gets stopped then shift to Nuss, back and forth all game. Or just use Nuss in a tempo gameplan with quick short throws.
