I looked at Chaney’s development of Brandon Allen at Arkansas in 2013 & 14 for a comparison to our quarterback. A substantial key to Allen’s improvement over the course of his career with the razorbacks, aside from coaching, may have been the improvement in the Arkansas offensive line.

Been saying for a while that our best hope for JG is that his career progression follows Allen’s.


Something I think many on VN agave consistently underrated is the step forward QBs often make after they’ve had a few seasons of starting experience under their belts.

Allen made a big jump after he’d been through a couple years of hell as a starter. We saw Dobbs make a big jump as a passer his Sr year after he’d been frustratingly inconsistent throwing the ball for his first 2 seasons or so as a starter (and some on here were clamoring to see more of Houston benchwarmer Quinten Dormady get snaps). The game often has a way of slowing down for QBs who have multiple seasons starting under their belts. No reason to assume the same can’t happen for JG until we see it doesn’t.

We're just going to disagree about that is and isn't real basketball. The NBA is light years ahead of college ball. Our team is a really good college team and I'm enjoying their success like everyone else here is, but I can't say I find it entertaining basketball most of the time. The one caveat is that we do play pretty "fun" basketball when we're at our peak - just wouldn't say it's a result of the system we run or the way our coaches want to play.

Speaking of football - I'm toying around with a defensive depth chart based on who we "expect" to be on our roster this year. Feel free to chime in with changes you would make to this setup. Obviously we want to get our best athletes of the field as much as possible. I think this is the entire defensive roster. (Green highlight was HS five star, blue highlight was four star). I left Crosby on the OL for now. At one time in the 247 composite ratings tracker McCollough was ranked as the 22nd best player in the country for the '19 class. That and his being an EE leads me to think he has a good shot at getting the start opposite Warrior, that is unless our Head Coach has an aversion to starting freshmen in the secondary.

Safety will definitely be interesting to watch. I have high hopes for McCullough, but he’s very much a SS and I’m not sure we should expect him to beat out a more rangy FS type like Flowers (who also will have a season of experience and more S&C time under his belt).
