So I just clicked this link, and would like to point out that Tom Ostrom is not on McCollum's staff. He was on Devries' Drake staff last year, but went with him to WVU, before that gets any traction.

Jake Dickert to Wake Forest. Kind of an out of nowhere move, but assumed he wasn’t long for Wazzu. He’s a really good coach.

Fwiw, IU’s recruiting director called the whole decommit drama BS on Twitter this evening. Could be damage control, could be the truth.

Luzardo time.

I will not stand for disrespect of the 2nd place team in the West division of the Fun Belt.

Can I interest anyone in a lightly used Zachariah Branch??? Make my dreams come true Cig Daddy.

There were some UAB people on twitter confused at this whole thing because, in their opinion, this was super out of character for Lee. Good locker room guy, hard worker, etc. I really think the kid just made a bad agent hire and it almost burned him. Check my avatar - well, the body at least - for an example of somebody that made the same mistake. A mistake that these days I assume is pretty easy to make. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

Never a doubt!

They're definitely butthurt. But it seems like there were shenanigans from player and staff all over. Just seems to be a really dysfunctional program right now. One big claim is that the OC was undermining Wilcox, promising playing time to other QBs but Fernando still beat them out. I think he was also promising playing time to QB recruits and Fernando was negative recruiting against Cal while the starter? Idk man...like I said, I can't make sense of it lol. And of course it's all message board stuff, but there are former staffers getting involved on Twitter too. It's a rabbit hole to end all rabbit holes.

That Mendoza situation at Cal sounds like a real mess. I did some digging on Cal football boards yesterday. Ugly. I'd provide details, but I'm not sure I still understand the situation enough to make any sense of it.

Two really good B1G backs are in tonight. Roman Hemby and Dante Dowdell. Hemby is a jackhammer.

And just like that, apparently Sacramento State is circling and trying to close a deal. Other than Norfolk being home, Sac State is probably more attractive. Huge financial commitments along with moving up to FBS soon. Will be a tough job because of that too.

Branson Combs...2nd team All-ACC LB, went to Reitz, transfer from So. Illinois. Another weird case where he may have another year to play, but I don't think so on the surface. One if any. Demond Claiborne...3rd team All-ACC RB, from Virginia, held a JMU offer coming out. 1,000 yard rusher this season. One year remaining. This is the guy to steal, and I'm sure he knows Justice well.

In an otherwise pretty quiet carousel year, Wake Forest just opened up. Dave Clawson resigned.

He was outmatched in every way Saturday and Purdue was in that game despite him getting ragdolled all over the floor for 38 minutes, not because of him. IU freakin' sucks, so I'd take the 3rd guard off the bench from Tarleton State. You're arguing a point I'm not making.

Sure. I wasn't comparing him to IU at all, but go off lol.

His almost 2 3pt makes on almost 4 attempts per game aren't doing them much good against a team that's too physical for him do anything against.

I don't think we're at the guaranteed contracts stage yet. The hang up is this new NCAA NLI/non-NLI paperwork, but shouldn't have anything to do with NIL. We very much need new abbreviations.

Cash considerations!

I would say he's a pretty glaring exception, but point taken.

Pretty different circumstances.

Exact same case with Levis. Not sure if it's a PSU "type", a development thing, or what. He'll go high in 2026 because he looks like he should go high, but can someone unlock him? That type of guy should carry a team to a title, but not once this year have I considered PSU a threat.

We have some posters around that area here right? I can't imagine many folks care about Norfolk football, but to my understanding Vick walks on water in those parts. Vick is basically my entire childhood, so I'm in. Let's do it.

Yep, I forgot that's where he went. Wazzu can't catch a break since the PAC12 implosion.

Never mind. That team STINKS.
