This year will be telling as well. Does the offensive system change and adapt? I really hope we don't suffer through some of the scoreless quarters that occured last year. Painful and seemed obvious that change was needed. That didn't come however with a shakeup in coaches. Go ahead, throw over the middle more. Involve the Tight Ends more. Perhaps don't throw to the flat 80% of the time. Maybe?

Change has already happened.
Now time will tell if it’s successful.

I predict that it will be.

16-0 🤠

A.P. has been pretty consistent that the reason they are struggling to nab a WR is that they are telling portal WR's that they would be transferring to UT as depth pieces and would be paid as such. These dudes want starter positions and starter money and we just aren't going down that route atm.

I don't understand why this is so hard.

Base salary by position, grade, and year within program. Incentives/bonuses for being in the 2-deep. Incentives for league and national awards (weekly and season).

Seems we've already promised starting jobs to receivers so we can't promise the opportunity for a portal WR to come in and earn it. Which makes me wonder how much offseason work we're going to get from some of these receivers.

How many Freshmen has got significant snaps under the CJH era?

Squirrel, Boo Carter, Arion Carter, James Pearce, Nico (redshirt), Dylan Sampson got real work as the third back his FR year, Peyton Lewis got a bunch of reps last year, Telander got a lot of work as a freshman, Elijah Herring (might've been a sophomore that year), pretty sure there were some DBs that got reps in 21 and 22 as freshmen.

Oh I'm not saying he wouldn't be good. I think he would have been very good still. But he wouldn't be putting up the same numbers in a much more physical league for that long of a duration. That's why some joke that Jordan would average 50 or 60 in today's league lol.

Take TODAY'S players with those rules - yes. Less longevity. It was more a thug league back then, like hockey.

But take the 80s players with those rules, he would look even more insane. Not even close.

He would still be skinny Lebron if he played during the 80’s. The average height was the same during the 80’s and verticals were estimated to be similar.

I will end this now (yeah right). Larry Bird is the greatest basketball Being of all-time because he is not, physically, the complete package but his mind and basketball IQ are light years ahead of everyone else. He may have not been able to do some of the things that Jordan (who was a better basketball player) could do physically, but he was always ten steps ahead of everyone.
Jordan, Majic, Dr. J, Lebron, Wilt, etc. were all physical and athletically freaks of nature
In honor of the recent May the Fourth. Jordan is Luke Skywalker, Larry Bird is the old man Obi Wan who was a master of the force and Jedi mind tricks. Lebron is Chewbacca.

I enjoyed Florida, love the Tampa Bay area. Lots of crazy down there however. Personally, really enjoyed the Bay area. San Fran has so many cool things to see. But then again, so many issues. I fondly remember taking my boss (new job) to a well rated restaurant only to find someone shooting up on the sidewalk outside.
