Pribula no longer visiting.  Has to mean we locked Mendoza up right?

I would assume that is exactly right.

Mendoza is Rourke with good knees, but who knows if he has the same big brain.

[LamarCheeks 18,921]

So, we'll get Mendoza for two years, after which he can hand the reigns to ... Mendoza. 

LOL!

Regular brain that had college options including Cal, Yale, and Penn is pretty dang big. I tend to think the football brain is enough to work with and the physicals are gooood.

Academic big brain doesn’t always equal “can spot third option receiver downfield out of the corner of his eye“ big brain.

We already got one tonight :) Announcement tomorrow?

Looks like on3 is still listing Georgia as the favorite for Mendoza—we should know pretty soon

Their predictor thing is untrustworthy

I think with Mendoza it may come down to personal vs team goals: if he wants the place that will potentially get him the most NFL ready, I think that’s IU. If he wants the place where he has the best opportunity to play for a national championship, I think that’s Georgia.

That’s based off of social media engagement

I hate On3 deeply. Just the dumbest “metrics” I’ve ever seen. Complete nonsense. 

[DoctorP 1,065]

Mendoza + Hemby would be an absolute dreaaaammmm

I think I want the kid from PSU. Mendoza is my #2. 

He does not have much experience. Why gamble on him vs someone with more experience

Some may just prefer more of a duel threat type QB. He's not as proven which is part of why I'd prefer Mendoza; he can move a little from the videos I've seen but it's more of an if necessary thing.

Yes, their predictions are best ignored. Not very accurate.
