OFFICIAL 2024-2025 COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON THREAD *LYIN' SZN IS HERE*

[N41D]

Duce is a great kid, really positive, high ceiling as a football player. For some reason doesn’t play as big as he is, doesn’t fight for balls, and loses 50/50 balls to small corners. Also has some drop issues. Some saw him wanting to lose weight and drop from TE to WR as a red flag but he can legit play WR. Not the best blocker for his size. Decent speed for his size but doesn't really get separation.

Left the school strictly cuz of NIL and he thought his friends were gonna transfer out. USC didn’t want to lose him, but he’s not going to convince them to give him AA WR1 money.

He can’t create separation? He sounds perfect.

Five-star Noah Thomas... GOT IT.

 

[atlsfinest]

He was supposed to red shirt this season but injuries thrust him into starting role and he showed a lot of promise. Now he can sit behind Nuss for a year and then take over in 2026 (or he could be back on the portal again like the majority of these guys)



I'm not sure what to make of Georgia aggressively pursuing a transfer QB in the portal. We are already expected to have five scholarship QBs next year even after Carson leaves. To me it seems like the coaching staff is anticipating some type of attrition. I would expect Rashada or Puglisi to hit the portal at the end of the season, otherwise none of this makes sense.

What has he done to deserve AA/WR1 money? I swear, agents and handlers are giving these kids horrible advice. Every decent player thinks it deserve (or can get) top dollar.

I think it’s clear what to make of it

N41D good luck with this one. Humphrey is a talented player but he has had attitude issues. He literally quit on the team when he got benched during Tennessee game. Maybe playing closer to home and the change of scenery will help him.

Even at Penn State, Bear Alexander is still repping the G

Gunner Stockton is going to show up and show out. I’d be very surprised if he isn’t QB1 next year

 

[nako xl]

There’s an extension of time but the teams that are looking for starters are doing the visits right now

 

[swendro]

Idk man I can't see leaving the team at that point.

 

[N41D]

Bussey, Myles, Hudson, Noah Thomas ... Not a bad start. Need at least one more portal guy -- Nic Anderson feels like the prize.

 

[earldagoat]

A tale as old as time is about to unfold right in front of us. I just hope Travis doesn't get her pregnant and I hope he signs a prenup before they get married.

Shoulda contributed all of it

 

[atlsfinest]

Lincoln Riley needs to tighten up. He needs to at least get four out of the top 10

To me.

The Cover 3 podcast brought up a good point today: what's going on with Matt Sluka? After all the drama in the middle of the season, he's in the transfer portal now and is getting no attention from P4 schools. If anything it's looking like you'll either have to make a lateral move or maybe even transfer down.

It doesn't help that Williams came in and played significantly better than Sluka. This may end up being a cautionary tale of players over playing their hand. It'll be interesting to see where he ends up. Regardless, I doubt he ends up at a P4 school and I doubt he gets the payday he sought

What do you mean “what’s going on” with him?

He stinks. We all said that when that fake drama happened. He was completing 43% of his passes

He's taken a national approach,which I sort of get. But at the same time, he needs to dominate California and not let other programs invade.

Which kids on that list did he fail to recruit that he should have? Hayden and Madden were commits that flipped.
