Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

Harbaugh’s taking Michigan SC Ben Herbert & DC Jesse Minter with him to San Diego.

I think Moore was the best hire they could make but this is gonna be the challenge for him/them. Can he completely run a program 365 days a year? Harbaugh was still running the day to day stuff this year when he was suspended from game days.

Minter is obviously huge, but doesn’t it feel like Herbert is a big deal too? Most of the time, you’ll be fine if you’re willing to spend on those guys. But Michigan keeps developing some absolute freaks.

A strength coach at the college is probably the most important assistant you can have. Obviously they have huge impact in the player’s body development. But they’re also around the players more than the actual coaching staff given the limits on things like that. So they’re also kind of driving the culture of your program.

But yeah Michigan fans are seemingly pissed over this one more than they are Minter. I think they kind of expected Minter to go even in season given his NFL ties.

It sounds like they’re promoting within. So one of his assistants last year is going to take over.

Ask him if he can stop by Dallas on the way to Cali and finish the job he started with Mazi Smith.

@JojoTheWhale no idea how true it is or not Michigan’s 247 board is going nuts that apparently some of their top players are putting out feelers to other schools. Will Johnson, Mason Graham, Colston Loveland, & Kenneth Grant.

@JojoTheWhale Andy is going to take McConkey at the end of round 1 and make him a star, instead he? Sounds like Ladd is expected to make a serious move in Mobile.

Absolutely yes, but maybe or maybe not in R1. There are just so damn many WRs in this class. He’d be a wonderful fit for Andy.

Harrison, Nabers, and Odunze are locks for R1. Thomas should be, but I feel like the league doesn’t agree. All of McConkey, Coleman, Legette, Franklin, Mitchell, Walker, Pearsall, Polk, Corley, Burton, and Worthy feel like top 50 guys in most years. And I expect guys like Cowing to start generating buzz at some point too. It makes me unsure of projecting spots for almost anyone.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

@flyershockey Nevermind. McConkey looks healthy and they’re giving him 3 way go optionality in 1 on 1 drills. Someone is falling in love as we speak.

I was looking at DJ's list earlier and wondering about the Chargers. One scenario - they take Bowers at 5 (which they are being mocked to do in every mock I have seen), then pluck one of those WR fallers early in Round 2. I kind of want them to just take Nabers in the first, but I could see Harbaugh going D there maybe.

They need basically everything except a QB and Guards. All of their other good players are at positions where they could still use more. There’s no bad route to take for them except for trading up.

Most coups don’t get formal announcements.

Yeah, this is the beginning of the end for the NCAA. It's just a matter of time at this point.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Sounds like Bill O’Brien is about to jump on the Boston College job.

 

[trostol]

at this point is education even involved?

NLRB calls Dartmouth hoops players employees

A National Labor Relations Board regional official has decided that Dartmouth basketball players are employees of the school, clearing the way for an election that would create the first-ever labor union for NCAA athletes.

It brings me joy to see one of the slimiest people out there get exposed at least for the people who pay attention. I hope the FSU fans really let loose in Dublin.

Someone go save that dog. He's probably going to harvest it for organs.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I always find it weird when teams not involving Notre Dame play in Ireland. At least Penn State in theory is in the northeast which a lot of Irish descendants live in & probably a fair chunk are fans of them as well.

Like a few years ago was funny me to with Northwestern & Nebraska. The bigger fanbase probably doesn’t have much of that tie in with Nebraska & the natives there probably have no care about either.

I didn’t watch this when I originally posted because I was out but wow listening to it now that’s a bad look for Herbstreit. I couldn’t care less about Nebraska or Georgia in that sense so no skin in the game here. But you were already getting beat up for playing a part in influencing the CFB Playoff this year with Florida State.

I like Kirk but not a good look as someone who’s kind of become that guy & voice of college football whether he likes or it not he has a lot of power & he should be more responsible with that or at least have the wherewithal of the situation.

Chip really pulling the you can’t fire me I quit card and going to Ohio State to be the OC for his former player.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Chip is going to the one place I can’t cheer for him.

Can't imagine you'd cheer for him at Oregon State or Washington, either...

I would consider it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Not that I thought UCLA would be good with Kelly next year anyway but it doesn’t help. Oregon is the only former PAC-12 team coming into the Big Ten heavy next year. The other three are coming in wounded.

This hurts. I just hate Ohio State too much.
