  • 2027 preseason basketball mega-thread: Inaugural season in the Mountain West

    Some programs kicked the tires because of his brother and the potential pipeline but nobody really offered. I think this is a mutual parting of the ways.

    Line play overall last year was not great but the snaps were atrocious. Seemed like every third down was a ground ball or an off target missile. Sounds like a post spring portal grad transfer is needed.

    Carrillo played a lot 3 years ago. Need more than those two at edge and that may be where Garrettson could slot in but he’s another one that’s battled injuries. On the other side they need more consistency out of Sam and he’s got to be able to play the run game. Madruga has played quite a bit of football also. Ray and Sackinsky played late in the year with everyone hurt and did not appear to be rotational guys but that can change with a full offseason program.

    Those two are Will types. Maybe Sievers can grow into it but I wouldn’t put Conners at the Mike.

    At minimum there will be new starters at Mike, DE, nickel, and box safety.

    No question. This is a big and physical returning group of DL that should help out the second level guys.

    There are a number of guys still in recovery mode. On D really need to find a couple of edge types that can rush the passer without being total liabilities in the run game.

    There are only three qbs on the public version of the spring roster. The spring game is really more of a practice with some situational stuff these days. Everyone gets reps

    Starting that program in the first place was a big blunder. Someone over there deserves credit for the picnic day spring game plan.

    I’m certain it’s not going to work.

    This is some of the worst basketball I have ever seen.
  • 2027 Football Recruiting
    ↪AggieFinn


    Agree, but only for the guys that are a fit for the program and the university. No point offering Rashada types.

    Not going to happen if one evaluates the economic situation. Plenty of Tier 2 programs are simply going to drop football. The only reason Rutgers has a 30m football budget is because they have a 90m conference distribution. That distribution is entirely contingent upon fielding a football team and will be reduced by 90% when they are pushed down a level. Ohio State and Texas aren’t going to willingly subsidize Rutgers or the other 50+ programs in Tier 2 after the split. Have already seen this in the northwest. Oregon State is teetering and will either fold or slide way back. They burned through the P12 residual and one time funds in under two academic years.
  • Aggie Ascent - Facilities Master Plan Release
    ↪DrMike


    +Stanford, UCLA, ASU. Most of the SEC. Even Texas is flipping back to grass for player safety. Penn State, Michigan State, Purdue and the new Northwestern stadium. Very few G6 due to cost.

    Alabama State is the gold standard.

    This isn’t that. The aspirations are plastered everywhere, including on Twitter by the athletic director. The AD really does not have any idea how to ask for support. It’s somewhat amazing that Edwards was able to get someone at the university to accept the wire for the training center. They continue to rely on the last crew of living donors from the Sochor era. Here’s how they treat the corporate partners:

    And this is the spot for fundraising updates:

    Just total lack of competence with respect to facilities and fundraising.

    Lol. About as accurate as that poster’s economic assessment. Must be the new Wood’enomics theory on opportunity cost of missing a pig pageant.

    Just copy what Cal Poly has done in one of the endzone areas. No need for Regents capital planning review and they will print money.

    They don’t have plans yet from a real design firm. Just conceptual stuff from the space planning group. That is why it would be smart to do some other stuff while they work through this.

    Plough also wasn’t about to sign up for the postseason ban during the transition since that’s getting waived when espn and Fox make their deal on league 1. Spend that 15m on the football program over the next 4 years and things will be in good shape.
