They've definitely be underwhelming so far. I'd like for us to finally pick a quarterback and settle on one offense instead of going back and forth. Maybe that would help things.

Ramsey's 6'2, 210 pounds so he's got decent size. Of course it's best to limit the number of hits he takes as much as possible, but I'm not toooo worried about it.

Our defense is pretty good this season but they wear out in the second halves. With Ramsey we can run a ground and pound offense that keeps our defense off the field. Ramsey's a "dual threat" qb but I like that his first instinct doesn't seem to be to tuck the ball and run. If he can just be a game manager for us this year it's still better than what we get with Lagow.

Exactly. If we can run the ball effectively and keep him at 20-25 passes a game we'll be good. Ellison is looking like he's ready to be the feature back right now. I say hand the two of them the keys and let em loose. It gives us our best shot both now and in the future.

He has a good enough arm to not be a liability throwing the football. He seems to have good decision making. His legs open up the running game. He's shown enough to make me believe that his success against Virginia wasn't just the result of the team not game planning for him. At the very worst him and Lagow are equal quarterbacks, all things considered. I see no reason for him not to be qb1 moving forward.

I maintain that barring injury there is zero reason for Richard Lagow to play another down this season.

Cmon CTA. We're not going to win this game. Lagow is trash, let Ramsey come in and see what he can do against a Big 10 team.

That replay showing him throw a pass 15 feet over the head of a wide open receiver perfectly captures Richard Lagow as a quarterback.

Lagow isn't going to be why we lose, but good god almighty he's a terrible quarterback.

He seems to be doing really well on the recruiting front, but I have my doubts with this coaching staff - particularly offense.

This is a very undisciplined football team.

Three weeks till Hoosier Hysteria!!!

Man just shut everything down and end the game already.

Westbrook was the one who got hurt but he was a gunner or something instead of the returner.

Westbrook wasn't returning kicks when he got hurt though.

Crean knows how to work the narrative. Maybe it was sincere, maybe it wasn't, but if you want everyone to see you as a good guy that's the kind of tweet you'd send out.

Heard he got arrested again during the time it took you to type that out.

Which one?

Has Race grown? Maybe it's the angle but even considering that he looks at least as tall as Hurt.

I personally don't think the NBA would be interested in creating a minor league system. They already have the G League and that seems to work pretty well. The two-way contracts will help with it. I see no incentive to go beyond that. Right now they have NCAA basketball to use as their true "minor league system." Players get to be coached by some of the best coaches in the world and it doesn't cost the teams anything. They get a year to see how players look against top competition, reducing the risks of whiffing on a high draft pick. I think one and dones like being in college. They get all the perks of being big man on campus. I don't see them giving that up to go play in 1/3 full arenas in some random city they traveled to on a bus. The minor leagues aren't glamorous but big time college basketball certainly is.

Came to post the same thing. The vast majority of the time people aren't coming to college games to watch specific players. They're coming to watch the school. If you took away the school and put the players in a "minor league" not nearly as many people would come.

http://www.espn.com/college-sports/recruiting/basketball/mens/story/_/id/18081962/billy-preston-commits-kansas-jayhawks "Preston has attended five high schools in the last four years, starting out at St. John Bosco (California) and Redondo Union (California), before heading to Prime Prep (Texas), whose basketball team then moved to Advanced Prep International (Texas). Preston then enrolled at Oak Hill for his senior season." I highly doubt that Preston's recruitment was a clean one.

That certainly can't help their pursuit of Romeo.

That's why I'm hoping there's nothing tying Romeo to any of this. If a kid as seemingly clean cut and honorable as Romeo was dirty... Yikes

Yeah, it seems like a lot of the time the parents/guardian/handler are right in the middle of things. They're "laughing all the way to the bank" as Troy's mom so eloquently put it.
