Lot more lurking than posting for me so far this football season. My girlfriend is pregnant and my son is due in early March. Just had a ton on my plate! 
 

Definitely been a fun college football season so far. Although I think our winning streak ends in Athens next week. Good luck to your Gators the rest of the way! 
 

BTW, can we get a redo on the draft and have the Panthers listen to us about Stroud? 🙂

Do the right thing and let your son support another franchise.

This should've never been an issue. The kid completed his transfer then days later the NCAA came out with new transfer rules and bafflingly made the retroactively apply to Tez Walker.

According to rumors, the school kept the seriousness of his mental issues a secret and it wasn't included in the meetings or information. Also during the last 10 months they (ncaa) spoke to Tez for 15 minutes total.

I respect respecting the kid's privacy. None of that stuff should've mattered. His transfer was complete before the new rules came out and the NCAA decided they would make them retroactive in this case.

I'm not crying about the NCAA being out to get us or anything like that. It's just the NCAA has a long history of making baffling decisions and trying to throw their weight around to make a point.

What rumors? 
If he has mental health issues, that is sensitive private information and I wouldn’t be waving that around for everyone to see. 
 

Gotta love how the ncaa still got in a couple cheap shots In their explanation, lol. Everyone knows the ncaa did Tez dirty for some odd reason.

IC podcast this morning covered in when the news broke. But UNC actually did with hold information from the NCAA but the NCAA didn't help any with what they were asking for, so that's why it wasn't included. 

 

Yea obviously they did tez dirty.

Nah. If they withheld sensitive private medical information, they did so for good reason. His mental health issues (allegedly) shouldn’t have had any influence on the completely assbackwards BS selective enforcement on his eligibility status. 
 

if these “rumors” are true - ncaa just used it to correct their egregious error and smear UNC at the same time.

According to the team at inside, they 100% didn't give this new information to the NCAA. I agree completely that it shouldn't have mattered. 

 

That's 100% what the NCAA did, they used it and tried to save face while smearing UNC at the same time.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
