I assume Hill basically replaces King as a 2nd qb for next year. Not sure what they see in him, but if he has 2 or 3 years left, I guess there's time if they do see potential to grow immensely. But for a guy that had 49% completion and -15 yards rushing...what does he bring to the table exactly?

Upside. He went 18-21 for 230 in a win over Texas, and isn’t taking up a scholarship. Nothing to lose.

Think there's concern whoever doesn't play much this year might be gone.

Gonna make Inky's list.

Yeah I didn't realize that at first. But it still helps us with depth in 2020. If JG comes back Shrout or Maurer or both are gone. If JG leaves, whoever loses that battle is gone, and then it would have just been one of those guys and Bailey. So now we have three guys at least who will be here next year. Wouldn't surprise me if we looked for another in the transfer market after this season as well.

SIAP - I have been away from the computer all day. The parents of a Georgia Tech player who just transferred from Michigan are complaining that UM changed the wording of what the parents had told them was the reason for the transfer. The new wording implied that it was for playing time, which resulted in the waiver not being approved. UM is denying that they did anything wrong, but there is obviously something going on. Full article is linked below -

As a UCF alum I'm hoping he kills it. But there's a true freshman, Dillon Gabriel, from the same high school as McKenzie Milton in Hawaii that I think will win the job in the first few games. He's very similar to Milton but possibly more talented. Shattered Tua's career yards record in Hawaii by 1,700 yards. Had offers to Georgia and USC and most thought he'd stay out west at USC, but the relationship with Milton got him to UCF. Wimbush should do good in that offense because there's still so many weapons. But Gabriel just fits it so perfectly and has been showing out in camp. And they say they're gonna play both no matter what. So I think he'll take advantage and win the job.

There are, I think, 3 paths to victory in college football. A team can out-talent their opponent, a team can out-coach their opponent, and a team can out-play their opponent. I think the Alabama model (which is also what I think Kirby is following) is to out-talent their opponents. Alabama in particular has a revolving door for coordinators and position coaches so they may be the least stable coaching staff in America, aside from the guy at the top. jmo.

I think Chris Peterson and maybe Dabo Swinney are perhaps more in the mode of out-coaching their opponents. I think the model we’re trying to build, at least in the interim, may be to mostly out-play our opponents. Scheming is critical for the out-coaching model where development is likely more key to the out-playing model. As a coach if your model is to out-talent the other side then your first rule has to be not to screw it up by bone-headed interference. jmo.

247 has the rosters updated for 2019 but they haven’t posted the team rankings yet. Rivals is a little easier to understand in that all blue-chips are not created equal. When you get into the 0.89/0.90 composite blue chips it may not always be a consensus from the big 3. With rivals a 6.1 is a 5-star, a 6.0 is a high 4-star, a 5.9 is a mid 4-star, and a 5-8 is a low 4-star.
I looked at all the rosters for our schedule this year to see how many blue chips (> 0.8900) a team had and how many of those were highly sought after blue chips. I used > 0.9500 for my cutoff because I’ve posted about that before.

This is the blue chip comparison breakdown for our 2019 schedule:

You left off forfeit, like Florida, when they do not have enough players left to field a team.
