I have a short yardage idea. Not as good as midgets though.
You get your QB or RB with the ball behind your guard or tackle. Just push in not really going anywhere. Then a player runs out lateral and behind. Bam. Rugby pass and you're off to the races. More a 3rd and short play or 4th down from just inside midfield though.
Nobody defends horizontally in American FB. This rugby type play would be deadly.
To the naysayers who thinks a CFB player couldn't execute the pass, get a 12 year farm kid from NZ. They can do it then out drink everyone after the game.

Except for Lowe, who went to a blue blood but will be the second or third option at PG, we really don't have anyone.

The second or third option and the point?

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

I'm optimistic that Corhen might still hit the portal. I don't see how in the world two bigs who can't shoot clogging up the paint could possibly a good thing. Especially with a PG who shoots a lower % from three than some do from half court. That'd be a unique strategy for Capel to employ during his final season here.

If Corhen is still here and playing more than 5 or 10 minutes we are doomed. I can't take another year of a soft and clueless post player. He cannot defend and rebound because, quite honestly, he is too stupid. I thought all year that he was lazy and didn't give the effort. However, after watching him more closely the last few games, I realized he just has no aptitude for the game. I don't think anyone wants a post player who can't defend or rebound. Therefore, I expect him to be here and I expect a dismal season which will spell the end of Capel.

At best, Corhen and Jackson need to split the 5 and we need another 3/4.

I agree, but I fear that's not what we are going to see.

I can't believe that educated, intelligent adults approve of Trump's fascist, dictatorial nonsense because one of the premier Universities in the world won't bend to his capricious will. This is even lower than Banana Republic level. "You won't kiss my ass, so I'm going to unlawfully remove previously appropriated Congressional funding....which I don't have the Constitutional authority to do..." And you goofs cheer?

Did you see the last kingdom on Netflix? A very good show on the Danes vs the Anglo-Saxons. Some historical figures in the show…loosely based I’m sure.

Trump and his sycophants ignoring the Supreme Court ruling is a nice touch. AG Barbie acting like Trump's personal lawyer and concubine is a nice touch as well. MAGA, Make America Gaslit Again.

But I thought illegals paid taxes.

This is Trump policy I love.

Both Corhen and Jackson should not start together.

And as stated before, Minor is a PG.

He and Cummings will start at guard, with Dunning at 3 or 4 and then the combo of Jackson/Corhen at the 5. We need a good rebounding and shooting 3/4.

This I agree with, with the addendum that I would also love to recruit another guard who could potentially push Cummings to a 6th man role (or at least create a competition).

Yes really.

They only look at what's right in front of their noses. They don't ever look at long-term trends beyond a few months. That's why the left had that silly panic when the stock market went into a correction that was needed. You sell when the market is rising and buy when it is falling. I remember that from a course I had in Investments and the stock market.

They are every bit as good as us.

You have three starters so far:
Jackson
Corhen
Cummings

A lot of fans dislike Corhen, but the reality is he will start/have starter minutes.

The rest are bench:
Dunning likely Austin replacement
Minor not as good as Ish and if he starts a long season incoming

Deep reserves
Nojus will not see any significant minutes
Witherspoon no idea if he follows the path of Bub/lowe/cummings or Barnes freshman route
Ndiaye

Jackson and Corhen are going to play together a good bit. Jackson is getting big money. They aren't paying him to play 20 minutes. And Corhen wasn't staying to play 10-20 minutes.

LOL. Dude was like 25-26 years old while here with NBA aspirations. Some of that happens naturally in becoming a man, sp. ed.

That's because English was his second language. Teams didn't have interpreters like they do now for players who have been in the league for 10 years.
