OFFICIAL 2023-2024 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD *THE START OF THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINE DYNASTY; UPDATE 1/24/2024: THE END OF THE MICHIGAN DYNASTY*

[Bantz Lord T]

SMU might actually bring value to the ACC

What is any of this supposed to prove?

“We didn’t want him anyway”

What are your thoughts on this comment from a columnist covering another school:

How much credit does Lincoln Riley deserve for developing QBs?

The only QB Lincoln Riley has developed is Caleb Williams, and I'm pretty sure there are dozens of coaches that could have done that. Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts were ready-made. He didn't make them NFL players. Kyler Murray, too.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

None of those guys were ready made, all developed under Lincoln so he deserves credit

Many talented, 'Ready made' QB's have done much worse

 

[dacomeup]

I’ll take it a step further. Caleb Williams was born to play QB. What exactly did Lincoln do to develop him?

 

[D StaXX]

Lincoln 100% helped Jalen become a better QB.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Absolutely stunned at this news.

tell his middle school coach who made him play LB and RB that

Who’s that?

 

[Bobby Layne]

Baker was a former walkon that got ran off from TT for Davis Webb. I wouldn’t call that “ready made”.

The troll went wayyyy over your head

There are also tons of coaches who recruit the QB position as well or better than Lincoln. None of them have had the success and production he has there.

No I got it bud. I was bantering with you.

 

[dacomeup]

Southeast kids with commitments to a school on the opposite side of the country in March. The pain will be felt.

ThaxbyChamblis reminded me of this great post from yours truly a few months back. I’ve been telling nako xl anytime he brings those kids up that there was zero chance that they’re going to SC.

Southerners putting their faith in Sark is the on field equivalent of PAC 12 fans thinking they’ll hold on to elite southern recruits.

nako xl Sounds like Longstreet had himself a week.

I’ve been running around so haven’t had a chance to read any of the elite 11 stuff besides the Juju coverage that gets pushed to me but I’m not surprised. People locally LOVE Longstreet and there’s a large contingent that think he’s better than Lewis. I think casper90403 may be a Longstreet guy?

Lincoln and Huard are convinced that Lewis is the guy though. He doesn’t have a strong arm at all but he was #2 in the accuracy competition and #1 in the pro day so “I don’t see it with him” feels like hyperbole. I’ll try to watch some of it this afternoon while I wait for my car to be fixed.

I think if anything happens with Lewis they pivot to Husan. He was on campus twice in the spring and also has a relationship with Huard.

As I suspected, sounds like the juju criticism is the arm strength mostly:

 

[casper90403]

Our nephew is transferring to Eastern Michigan for his extra year. Can't wait to hear the play by play guy sweat this one.

 

[Bobby Layne]

As I suspected, sounds like the juju criticism is the arm strength mostly:

Guys who win with accuracy and anticipation never look good in shorts and tshirts. It’s hard to show that off without chemistry with your receivers.

This was Georgia's backup at the time
