If Wright goes Sampson won’t need any recruitment, he will basically be given the keys.

If Wright AND Small return that’ll be when keeping Sampson will become a huge challenge I think.

Small is basically out the door. Went through Senior Day recognition and would be shocking to see him back. Wright will likely strike for the NFL while his iron is hot and not risk an injury by coming back. That leaves Sampson (Jr) and Seldon (So) as the primary backs with a battle for the third spelling back between Khalifa Keith and Bishop. They may portal shop a RB but they also have the kid from VA coming in as a freshman next year.

For what it’s worth, Elko was the A&M DC before taking the Duke job. So he probably had a good relationship with AD & boosters already.

He’s also had back to back 7 win or better seasons at Duke, so he’s 16-9 while there.

I think he’s a better hire than Stoops personally because we’ve seen the best of Stoops & it’s not enough. His record against the SEC is 33-55 & he’s got just 2 seasons above 500 in SEC play his entire career.

Hearing we may not have NIL $s available. Know we are putting package for Cade Mayes and Seaton. Not much left.

Sprye needs to get a lot more big donors. I plan to increase my monthly allotment.

So apparently Spyre only has enough for a couple of players. An elite NIL collective? Hardly.

Gruden’s mutual fund has a minor stockholder interest in a small, publicly-traded company headquartered in Bloomington…

Big news if true. I wonder if he has ever driven through or flown over Indiana. That could be the lynch pin in this whole thing.

Time to fire up my coaching search machine, even though it isn't for UT. We can't let perfectly good Grumors go to waste...

Must’ve done ok with the offensive staff that utilized Leonard better than Cut. Isn’t winning with the talent available and against the competition scheduled a significant portion of a coach’s grade?

They had Leonard as a true freshman, a little bit different than if Elko suddenly unlocked an upperclassman. But I like Elko, I just think he’s a lot closer to Stoops than the narrative is saying right now. Kentucky used to be in the same league as Vandy, and he’s pretty much maxed out their potential. He’s just stale now because he’s been there long enough.

If he can't win without having more talent it's a terrible look.
What's he going to do against OH St, UGA, Oregon etc.... teams that are in the top 5 and will only stay there recruiting wise? He needs to prove he can beat teams better than his.

Yeah man. He had so much more talent than everyone last season. LMAO.
