This needs to be the season Malone gets over himself and balls out. Leave it all on the field. Consistent, every game and practice effort. If he does he has the talent to star here and in the NFL. If he doesn't he should sit.

Abernathy is fast. He's usually the guy following Berry into the endzone on KRs. Ready to block anyone that may catch Berry from behind - not that Berry will be caught once he breaks the coverage.

Yep. On that KO Berry returned against Arkansas, There were a couple of Arkansas defenders chasing Berry down the stretch and Abernathy literally blew by them and escorted Berry into the EZ. Young man has some serious wheels.

As we mentioned last week, Kahlil McKenzie has finished his summer strong and will enter camp weighing under 320 pounds. That massive overhaul of his frame should mean a quicker, stronger McKenzie in fall camp. A number of people we've talked to believe he can have a big impact this year and will build off what he did in the spring.

Tyler Byrd continues to generate a lot of buzz and it isn't just because of his ability at wide receiver. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Byrd on a number of different special teams units this fall as he takes special teams as serious as anyone on the team.

A somewhat forgotten man in the defensive line in the midst of all the talk about Barnett, McKenzie and Tuttle working his way back from injury, is Kyle Phillips. Phillips has really impressed this summer in the skill development department and if he can stay healthy he's someone that could have a big impact along the defensive line. He's someone a lot of people on campus are excited to see once the pads are on.

Not much is expected from the three offensive linemen that were brought into the 2016 class, but Nathan Niehaus has been very impressive with his work ethic. The Cincinnati native is up 60 pounds since last fall and passed the 300 pound mark. He's also impressed in his ability to move during conditioning drills.

So Butch has made several offers to 2019 and 2020 kids lately. Looks like he's changed his strategy a little and making offers early to get foot in door a little better?

I'm starting to think I'm only going to hang out on this thread in the recruiting forum. My head might explode otherwise

Yeah, recruit threads have jumped the shark. People bicker pointlessly over every comment. Over and over and over again.

Maybe one fluffy pink unicorn isn't enough. Perhaps we need a whole herd?

Never thought I would say this, but after the Jones and Gibbs threads, I purposely went to the football forum to get a break from negativity and griping.

It's Bizzaro world Jerry.

Some of it is excessive, but I can see why people are complaining. Given our finish to 2015 and all the hype coming into this year you would think we would have pulled in some bigger targets. Butch has closed well every year, just have to hope he does again.
