FOOTBALL RECRUITING Coach Prime’s potential impact on ESTL

Looking at what’s been going on, I wonder if the pipeline from ESTL may begin rolling a bit towards CU and Prime.

Hayden and Patterson have been offered and are apparently pretty high on CU and Sael Reyes (star in the Class of 2025) was offered while CDS was with JSU.

If Deion can land those three somehow, you’d have to think a few more may follow. It’s pretty funny how you view a move that you don’t think will have any impact on your team before realizing, “shit, this may actually have a pretty significant impact on ESTL and recruiting in STL, in general”. Wild times.

FOOTBALL QUICK NOTES FROM WAKE FOREST HC DAVE CLAWSON

Wake Forest HC Dave Clawson a couple of interesting things in his 8 a.m. presser (because we love in 8 a.m. presser for the Gasparilla Bowl lol) that weren't too much related to the bowl itself (except one thing) but I think y'all may get a kick out of it.

He said QB Sam Hartman will play in the bowl game which I assumed already. I had read an article from a week or so ago that said he would play. I guess that was an unknown maybe. This obviously pertains to Mizzou and the bowl game specifically.

He also said that he basically wouldn't be mad if Hartman decided to transfer if he got a bigger NIL deal. "I think right now his intention is to go to the NFL, but when the bowl game is over, if there is some incredible offer for him to go to another school and get life-changing money, how could we fault him for that," Clawson said.

He also said that if there is a player who went into the transfer portal -- under the right conditions could still play for WF in the bowl game. He said if a person entered the portal and then tried to come back to WF and they had already recruited for the position he would still let that player who entered the portal play if they were still going to class, practicing with the team and stuff of that nature. He said, (and I'm paraphrasing a tad bit) "I'm not going to punish them for wanting to play," Clawson said.

I don't have access to the transfer portal, but ESPN has WF RB Christian Turner in the portal. He rushed for 516 yards this season and 506 yards last season, with 12 total touchdowns. He originally transferred from Michigan in 2020.

Gabe, you are insane

On TMA today: "Playing kU is the same as playing K-State or Wake Forest. Not a football rivalry."

The MU-KU football rivalry goes back nearly 100 years:

Dan Devine once flipped off the kansas coach during a MU blowout.
Warren Powers got fired because he could beat Nebraska and LSU, but couldn't beat kU.
Tony Sands running for 400 yards against us in 91.
Devin West running for 328 yards for us in 98.

And were you unconscious in 2007? Armageddon at Arrowhead? Mizzou achieving its first #1 ranking in 50 years by beating our rival?
Then former QB Kerry Meier upsetting Mizzou with a late TD grab at in the snow Arrowhead in 2008.

The students in 2022 literally chant every game during Mr. Brightside, **** kU.

If you can't respect that history and don't want to recapture the energy & spirit, I don't know why you're a Mizzou fan at all.

Too many bowls? Mandel tell us why that's not true

This article in The Athletic is great.
Mandel on Bowl Games
I am just going to quote one paragraph of it. It is his Open Letter to all who think there are too many Bowl Games.

"Even the full-on Sickos bowls rate relatively well. Last year, ESPN created a second bowl in Frisco, Texas, out of thin air just days before the end of the regular season so that no eligible teams were left home. North Texas and Miami-OH kicked off in the middle of the afternoon on Thursday Dec. 23. Some 1.5 million people tuned into ESPN to watch it — slightly more than that network averaged for its NBA package last season (1.4 million)."
