Aggie fans are bipolar. Either we are down in the dumps or we think we Coach K (from Duke) would come out of retirement to coach us. Man has a great track record. Maybe better than any of the last 3 coaches who came here. Let's see how he does. Not Coach K, but someone better than this Toledo coach...

Nice write up on Josh Uduje's game as a potential deep sleeper draft prospect: https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/no-stone-unturned-2023-the-wings-b57 . Seems like sky's the limit for him if he can improve his 3p%. I am really bullish on Danny Sprinkle. Impressive what he has done remaking the team fro...

Feels like taking into account the entirety of the portal era, USU has benefitted more from transfers than been hurt by it. Feels like we've actually done quite well getting P5 guys transferring to USU looking for more playing time. Also we've freed up a lot of spots with guys transferring out looki...

To answer your question, I think a large portion of board thinks that he's going to get the job based on the discussion here when he was hired. I think he probably will get the job, but that belief has literally nothing to do with him or his performance. My recollection of the discussion here was wh...

This person obviously wasted their money because it is never going to happen. That said, if we beat Alabama in a non-flukey way, and run the table, we would probably get into the playoff. We were ranked to end last season, and while we won't likely be ranked to start this year, a win at Alabama wou...

This is the beginning of the end of NCAA football as we know it. Big money making schools through targeted conferences hold the power of TV money. Respectfully I disagree. The beginning of the end came on June 27, 1984, when the Supreme Court ruled against the NCAA in 'NCAA v. Board of Regents of U...

John Hollinger has Queta as one of three guys he's higher on than the general consensus. Here's what he had to say in his article in The Athletic today: 22. Neemias Queta, C, Utah State, Junior My membership in the Neemias Queta fan club is already well established, so I won’t go too deep down the r...

One thought I had about G5 conferences cancelling is whether it is financially less harmful to schools to cancel the season versus playing but without fans. Game-day expenses for travel, both home and away games, as well as officials, standby medical personnel, lights, field maintenance, etc. are e...

The only silver lining I can see in this situation is that half the board won’t have to learn how to spell Colombi’s last name now.

I don't understand why Columbi would leave unless the coaches just handed the job to Shelley. He had the inside track to start, Shelley or not. If Shelley was handed the job.... look out. Just throwing out the possibility, I know certain folks can't give us the info at this time, but could it be Pe...

I'm wondering if Keegan Duncan will be utilized at all during short-yardage situations (think Nick Vigil). The dude is a beast with great athleticism (assuming he's 100%) and we struggled MIGHTILY last year in 3-in-short and 4-in-short situations. Sometimes these smaller, shifter backs have a hard ...

It seems like the best of both worlds would have been to use it on a grad transfer this year and then and still have the scholly available for next year. I guess the staff just couldn't find a grad transfer worth using the scholly on?

I talked with a friend of mine who lives in the same neighborhood as Conlon. He said he's a great kid, really good athlete, has all the intangibles you'd want in a football player, but is a tweener -- a bit undersized for the D Line but maybe not enough lateral quickness to move to LB. My friend als...

We went the same zone against BYU and it helped but we still lost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The zone against BYU really helped us get back into the game. The problem was we stayed with it too long. Once BYU figured it out, we should have switched out. Resulted in too many open threes towa...

I do think Derek Wright can play a bigger role in 2020 and Ajani will take a step forward in year 2. I remember someone saying that AJ Carter is switching to play corner next year, so I think that takes out another possible WR contributor. Or was that speculation and he will be playing WR? I think ...

Interesting ranking of MW coaching jobs from most to least desirable from Jeff Goodman:

I'm obviously biased, but I would have expected USU to be higher on the list.

Looks like Armand Shyne is transferring from the U. Any know if USU is in the mix for him?

I don't understand the fascination with Jay Hill. Craig Bohl won 3 consecutive FCS championships. Now many Wyoming fans want to move on from him. Does anyone know of any success stories of FCS head coaches moving to FBS head coaching positions? Surely there must be some. It's an honest question...I...

I feel like this is exactly the kind of player we should be going after. A player with a high ceiling and the right physical profile even if he has a low floor and bust potential. It will all come down to development. If the new coaching staff can excel in player development, Queta could end up bein...

From ESPN draft analyst Mike Schmitz on Queta:

BRuss804

I was at the game so I didn't have the benefit of replay, but I liked the play call when I saw it. Neilson is a pretty skilled but lacks lateral quickness. Rector did a great job all night of getting to the basket and finishing over and around Neilson. I thought it made sense to have Janicek set the...

BYU posters have dismissed their interest in signing DC --- maintaining that BYU had no scholarships available. We'll, one just became available. My understanding is they asked to him to transfer because they were oversubscribed on scholarships for next year. As such, it really doesn't open up a sc...

That's the way I understand it. Majstorovic is already committed which leaves one scholarship available for a JC point guard.

BRuss804

My understanding is there's only one scholly left. So unless someone leaves, I don't think there's room to sign two, but I guess we'll see.

IT was posted that when Duryea went to Miami that he went to Miami Dade most think he was looking at Shane Rector from there. That would make sense with him saying we need a penetrating guard? Somebody else said he was looking at a big n Miami too? Any idea who that was? TD said there's only one sc...

I'm not convinced that Maile is ready to be DC yet. I mean, he's only been a coach for four years and he's only coached D-Line. Clune and Lorig seem like better choices. He started as a GA the summer after he graduated. working with strength and conditioning. He has about the same amount of coachin...

Assuming this isn't a home and home, I am actually mildly disappointed with another money game at Wisconsin for the following reasons: 1) Been there, done that. I had the chance to go see the game at Camp Randall. It was awesome, but I'd rather the money game be somewhere new that the team hasn't be...

Is it just me or are the Kyle Goon jokes a bit hackneyed at this point? They were funny the first thirty-five or so times, but it's probably time for some new material.

Brandon Gurney is reporting that Derek Hastings from Lehi committed to USU. Presumably that's who Coach Wells tweeted about.

BRuss804

This is a great signing! Let's give the coaches some credit for landing someone who as talented as Perkins. I hope he fits in well. As for the concern about so many guards, we do lose Medlin, Roland, and Butterfield this year which leaves Jojo and Doc as our guards. We need to start bringing in you...

That analogy doesn't really work because the guy who pushed the boat into the water didn't have a chance to cover for all of the other mistakes that were made in the process by the rest of the team. If he had a chance to fix all of the mistake, but didn't he probably deserves a portion of the blame,...

There were certainly other plays (punt return TD, etc.) that could have affected the outcome of the game, but the effect isn't nearly as obvious and easily calculable as the missed field goal. We could have prevented the punt return TD and still lost, there's no way to know. Conversely, we know exac...

I thought it was a combination of both Chuckie and the coaching staff adjusting. It seemed at times against tougher defenses like Wisconsin and BYU that our best chance of converting on third down was Chuckie running the ball. Without Kennedy, I felt like the coaching staff decided they had to be ...

I would say Brent Guy being a terrible head coach is what cost him his job.
