Ohio State fan comments on Traynum

-1000 yard rusher !!

-Good luck! He's a lot like Master Teague - big, strong, and fast, but without much wiggle. I hope he has success at Kentucky.

-Not a bad choice for him. I can see him really upping his draft stock there. I don't know what their RB room looks like, but i have to imagine he'll get a tone of reps there and it keep him close to Ohio. Let's him play against elite competition, maintaining decent exposure while playing on a team he's likely to get good playing time with....

-Bad comparison, other than speed and strength. Much, much better a TB than Master Teague, with more to him than you are giving him credit for. Excellent receiver. Much less stiff than Master. I'm sure that UK is giving him #1 TB status. Great move for him

-Good system for his style of running. I'll be rooting for him.

-He’s got a bit more wiggle than Master and has more patience and subtleness to his running.

-He's light years better than Teague. He's gonna tear up the SEC next year. Watch.

-I still think he is a better LBer than RB but he will have a good year at RB for KY I'm sure

-I'm REALLY high on Traynum and hope he does well at UK. I will die on the hill that our offense would have been better off with Chip as the 3 down RB and using Henderson as an H-Back, who lines up all over the field like Curtis Samuel.

-Hate to see him go, but best wishes…won’t forget him punching it in against the Domers.

-Losing him probably hurts us next year. I wish him well.

-I always felt Chip got knocked off balance easily for a guy his size and prevented him breaking some big ones.

-Go get em Chip. Have a great season and a fruitful NFL career.

-Good luck Chip! Was a great team player here.

-I do too ! I wish he was able to stay there here at OSU he was a safety in High school and was a head hunter ! His Athleticism and Physicality would be great for this defense

-Chip is an NFL RB. Getting 30% of the carries and being behind Henderson on the depth chart does him no good for his draft stock

Some things I like about DJ Wagner...

We all know the story. His Dad played for Cal. Very highly ranked coming out of HS.
But I have not seen him poubt one time. Plays unselfish. By all accounts is a good teammate. Seems to root for his mates when he is on the bench.
Plays hard.
You don't always see the HS All-American kids show these attributes.

A win over UNC is always worth 3 or 4 wins psychologically for our fanbase.

It always seems like a victory over UNC appeases the competitive bloodlust of our fan base, at least for two weeks or so.

Cal is presently 7-4 against UNC as the UK head coach.

Gotta get this win. We're 17-25 all-time against UNC. Got to close that gap even more.

How much does a victory over UNC next week satisfy your competitive itch?

Conversely, how much does a loss to UNC dampen the excitement for this young Kentucky team?

Gonzaga

So they play Mississippi Valley State tonight.

Gonzaga is currently 35th in the NET.

MVSU is 362nd out of 362.

I’ll be interested to see what happens to both teams computer rankings after this game.

Gonzaga will try to beat them by 100 if they can(as they should frankly, considering the net is the selection committees prime resource during the selection process and it rewards margin of victory)

Bob Knight interview

Thought this would be of interest here. Have watched some of this, the best interview with Knight I've seen. In the interview, Knight says he does not respect John Wooden because of Sam Gilbert. I thought that was interesting. I wonder if Coach Rupp or other coaches ever addressed that issue?

FB Recruiting Portal Target Spotlight: DeCarlos Nicholson

We've learned a lot about Nicholson over these past couple of years from when we interacted with him as a JUCO recruit through now.

Here's a bunch of info on Nicholson dating back to HS through JUCO and MSU.

Last time we did a portal spotlight like this it was Trayanum and he committed the next day.
