IF I'm a kid who has a year of eligibility left and can play a little football, I'm going to a school that size BUT it isn't going to be in freaking Youngstown. Plop me down in Colorado, Montana, or some other state that would be fun to spend that last year at. Dixon will probably go back south. Best of luck to them. I hope they find a place to play and have some fun to end their college career. Failing at NU is not the end of the world. Just get the degree and have a good life.

Surely you are not suggesting that there are limited entertainment options in flat midwestern states

Your brethren on tos are saying Cam Jones is leaving due to grades, just fyi (a poster...not their writers...but the poster is plugged in). I like Wisconsin by 3 TDs

Based on personnel and depth next year, it would seem wise to switch to a 4-3 defense. We're much deeper on the D-Line than at LB right now.
my thoughts were that we might run a few 4-3 packages as well.. not sure it would be a wholesale switch type thing, but them offering that Juco DT also sort of signaled emphasis on a possible alignment change of some variation.

You changed your avatar... is that the Mrs?

Either way, I like this avatar a bit more than your last one. :)

I'm suggesting that Youngstown is a craphole. Why not go someplace nice and fun. Northern AZ, CSU, Idaho St etc. See some more of the country. JMHO. I'm not a south or city kind of guy.

They ran 4 man fronts last year. I know of a few DCs that will tell you that they don't have NT anymore, that all three are just DTs and can be interchangeable.

I don’t know his “status” but Fisher was open about the fact he wasnt getting it done in class so I don’t know if he was even practicing or just not being considered for playing time.

I would just be concerned where that could lead.
Hopefully a public rebuke and a little peer pressure will get him in gear. With our academic support system you almost have to not try at all in order to fail.

I think there’s a name for that. It’s called Nate Gerry.

He is from a HS that recruited better than Bama. It always has a huge number of kids that sign FBS and P5 scholarships every year. UGA has been burned by some of their kids. They are generally an entitled bunch and have an 80% bust rate in college. I wish we would just stay out of the school completely.
