1. Bobby Petrino is not sitting down all around now that he’s in College or university Station. He is taken an lively part in recruiting and has even gone to stop by new QB Marcel Reed in Tennessee. That is a great shift, for the reason that he is bought to do some selling of his method and his partnership with Jimbo Fisher to make certain any and all worries are alleviated.
2. 4-star QB Jaden Rashada has requested out of his Florida NLI (national letter of intent) mainly because his NIL (identify, impression, likeness) offer, value a claimed $13 million, did not appear by way of. This ought to be the point exactly where donors and packages draw the line. $13 million is a preposterous sum and it’s hard to rationalize it for a accurate freshman of any type. But Florida’s donors must have regarded much better. They screwed the program and its reputation by failing to meet what was anticipated. Now that they’ve manufactured this mess by bidding gamers up, it can be up to these “conglomerates” to restrain them selves. Which they possibly will, and NIL will find an equilibrium, or they will not likely and it’s going to all implode.
3. The grass is not normally greener when you strike the transfer portal. Previous A&M receiver Caleb Chapman is leaving Oregon following 1 season and one particular capture for 15 yards. If he experienced stuck close to at A&M, in particular as a person receiver after yet another was both wounded or suspended, he’d have had huge numbers previous year. Now, he is down to one single year that will make or crack his NFL prospects, and odds are stacked fairly strongly in opposition to him right now.
4. The variety that sticks out about Alabama WR Tyler Harrell, who visited A&M currently, is 4.24. Which is his laser-timed 40-lawn-sprint time (in 2021). Harrell was a person of Petrino’s last signees at Louisville, so there is a historical past there and he could absolutely be an asset if he can keep balanced.
5. Tomorrow night’s video game from Florida is huge for A&M on numerous fronts, but here’s the biggest: they started out 4- in meeting participate in past year prior to dropping 8 in a row. Florida has been their toughest opponent so significantly throughout SEC perform, so beating them twice would silence some doubters and deliver some ghosts packing.
6. Aggie baseball is ranked 5th in D1 Baseball’s preseason poll. Their first a few convention opponents? #1 LSU, at #2 Tennessee, #4 Ole Pass up. A team could go 1-2 in each and every of these a few matchups and however close up in Omaha.
7. The Aggie protection has been solid in meeting engage in. Florida shot 45.5%, many thanks to a incredibly hot second 50 percent, but considering the fact that then, nobody’s cracked 40%. LSU shot 34.7% from the subject, Missouri 38.9% and South Carolina 38%. That will win you some video games.
8. The transfer portal closes tomorrow, and will reopen concerning Could 1 and May possibly 15. That means players are not able to enter it does not necessarily mean teams are not able to indicator the types now in. And grad transfers can go in at any time. Yeah, the open up and shut dates are pretty much worthless.
9. Polynesian Bowl methods are underway, and notify me that’s not a bowl you would go to perform in. In any case, there are some individuals reporting on procedures and one particular player on defense retains on grabbing people’s consideration for all the correct reasons: DJ Hicks.
Huh. Go figure.
10. I preserve coming back again to this, but I genuinely do like the concept of employing Donovan Green and/or Jake Johnson as slot receivers. It is not like it hasn’t been finished prior to by Jimbo or Petrino — heck, glance at Jace Sternberger and Jalen Wydermyer. I feel equally men have the skill to be productive in that job.
