1. Bobby Petrino is just not sitting all around now that he is in Higher education Station. He’s taken an lively purpose in recruiting and has even absent to stop by new QB Marcel Reed in Tennessee. That’s a great go, simply because he’s received to do some advertising of his procedure and his romance with Jimbo Fisher to make absolutely sure any and all fears are alleviated.
2. 4-star QB Jaden Rashada has requested out of his Florida NLI (countrywide letter of intent) simply because his NIL (name, graphic, likeness) offer, really worth a described $13 million, failed to appear via. This must be the point exactly where donors and plans draw the line. $13 million is a preposterous sum and it truly is really hard to rationalize it for a genuine freshman of any form. But Florida’s donors ought to have identified far better. They screwed the method and its status by failing to meet what was expected. Now that they’ve created this mess by bidding players up, it is really up to these “conglomerates” to restrain by themselves. Which they both will, and NIL will obtain an equilibrium, or they would not and it’s going to all implode.
3. The grass isn’t really often greener when you hit the transfer portal. Former A&M receiver Caleb Chapman is leaving Oregon just after just one period and a single catch for 15 yards. If he had stuck all-around at A&M, specially as one particular receiver soon after one more was either hurt or suspended, he’d have experienced major quantities last year. Now, he’s down to just one one time that will make or break his NFL prospects, and odds are stacked rather strongly from him suitable now.
4. The selection that sticks out about Alabama WR Tyler Harrell, who visited A&M today, is 4.24. That’s his laser-timed 40-property-sprint time (in 2021). Harrell was one of Petrino’s last signees at Louisville, so there is certainly a historical past there and he could definitely be an asset if he can continue to be wholesome.
5. Tomorrow night’s video game towards Florida is massive for A&M on numerous fronts, but this is the major: they started 4- in meeting engage in very last 12 months in advance of getting rid of 8 in a row. Florida has been their hardest opponent so far for the duration of SEC perform, so beating them two times would silence some doubters and deliver some ghosts packing.
6. Aggie baseball is rated 5th in D1 Baseball’s preseason poll. Their 1st 3 conference opponents? #1 LSU, at #2 Tennessee, #4 Ole Pass up. A workforce could go 1-2 in each individual of these three matchups and still close up in Omaha.
7. The Aggie protection has been robust in conference perform. Florida shot 45.5%, thanks to a warm second 50 %, but considering the fact that then, nobody’s cracked 40%. LSU shot 34.7% from the field, Missouri 38.9% and South Carolina 38%. That will win you some online games.
8. The transfer portal closes tomorrow, and will reopen concerning May well 1 and May possibly 15. That indicates players are not able to enter it doesn’t necessarily mean teams are unable to signal the kinds already in. And grad transfers can go in at any time. Yeah, the open up and shut dates are really substantially worthless.
9. Polynesian Bowl procedures are underway, and notify me which is not a bowl you would go to participate in in. In any case, there are some individuals reporting on procedures and 1 player on defense keeps on grabbing people’s consideration for all the proper motives: DJ Hicks.
Huh. Go figure.
10. I continue to keep coming back again to this, but I seriously do like the thought of using Donovan Green and/or Jake Johnson as slot receivers. It can be not like it has not been finished prior to by Jimbo or Petrino — heck, glimpse at Jace Sternberger and Jalen Wydermyer. I consider both of those guys have the capability to be productive in that position.
