Wallace and Evans both made tough catches yesterday BTW. But they don't have Ebuka's or Smith's combination of size and speed.
I think we may have seen a few paycheck teams this year fail because some of the players were playing for the paycheck. I think Franklin is doing it the right way culture wise and we are finally catching up from our late start on NIL, which were the fault of Forde’s, and our state’s, late entry into and embrace of it.
This is a very positive spin on guys that can't beat man coverage, can't read zone coverage and can't make contested catches. Then it turns into the blame Allar game for his receivers being subpar.
That’s the only recent citation I have so I am going with it. I do know that PSU prioritizes retention with NIL funds as per a recent article I posted. I am not sure we are equipped to get an elite portal acquisition based on funds and philosophy.
So I do believe we use it for retention over portal which is why the numbers are a better kept secret.
Like when Allar throws it behind and too high to a wide open Warren and...wait for it....it is the fault of our best ever all world tight end.
Are either Wallace or Evans as good as Johan Dotson, Parker Washington, Allen Robinson, Chris Godwin, etc.?
I believe most NIL collectives are organized under a nonprofit status, which may make those numbers public. I’m sure we have lawyers or tax accountants on the board that may have more in-depth information on that subject.
Wallace and Evans are not in the same league as those PSU receivers.
I believe the elite wr’s are very expensive in the portal market. Based on our NIL approach at PSU, the only way we have an elite wr on the roster is if we recruit and develop an elite wr. You are right, pre-NIL we were doing well at that position.
It's not his fault. That was a bad throw. I said during the game it was a bad throw. It's still a ball "our best ever all world tight end" has to catch. And more often than not he does which is why I didn't complain about that or the TD he dropped at the end of the first half on a perfect ball. He's been great unlike the other receivers and gets a pass.
I think it shows why no one said Tennessee didn't belong
So which of the three dropped TDs did you have a problem with at the end of the first half
Said the same thing about Tennessee last week. Hint: I think OSU might have something to do with it.
Missed an open Warren over the middle. Is Warren a weapon?
Since college football isn't about getting an education, what's wrong with a guy playing 10 or 15 years, with NIL as high as NFL wages?
Yes, like all QBs he missed a throw--and, even with that bad throw, (AGAIN BAD THROW), it was catchable and a ball an elite TE should bring in. I don't understand why you don't think Warren is supposed to bring that in. Still his worst throw of the day because if on target there's also YAC
I've told you about 13 times today he made a bad throw there and twice at the end of the first half made a mistake when he tried to run instead of getting rid of the ball forcing us to use timeouts. He also had the ill-advised throw across his ball trying to get the ball to Dawkins. He's not perfect--no one is.
