Rumors swirling that Shurod Thompson is a non-qualifier (despite upping his GPA), thus all the DB offers late in the game. This is what the Bay Area contact told us months ago. I haven’t heard anything definitive yet, but him saying that and all the late DB offers does imply there could be an issue.

KJ Sailrs Jr and Andrew Davis are guys they’re now looking at. Kenny Turnier has exploded on the scene. Says he’s a Beav commit still, but a lot of programs are in his ear. Seems to be really “enjoying” the attention, and the last thing we need is another SC. I’d scout his personality closely if I were the staff.

Not many game breaking offensive players this class, but Kevontre Whetzel is a guy to keep an eye on.

Beaverkman and Blazer can chime in with some more names as they have time.

Where are all the Seth Collins Backers?

It’s lame they all went into hiding. At least stand up and admit you were way way wrong. All the “he played great for a freshman QB” talk, making up excuses for his egotistical behavior and interviews, and essentially calling me a liar when I heard from a good source he slammed his protein shake down and walked out of a post-practice interview.

Saw this coming a while ago. Oct 22nd post:

Sounds about right.

But I’m not confident Collins will remain engaged. More likely he’ll slam his protein shake again, pout, and look to transfer.

How did I know this? I didn’t 100%, but all the cues pointed to that reality.

I have a lot of other [hard-to-stomach/reality based] predictions, so if you have a specific field or question lay it on me and thank me later!

I’m a little late to get this up, but per O-live he’s gone.

This just wasn’t a good match, so I’m glad he’s gone. Will he succeed somewhere else? Probably not as a QB, but with a year off now to simply work on throwing and his grades, maybe he makes strides. But I don’t think that was going to happen at OSU due to circumstance, so it’s best for all. He was clearly delusional about his QB skills, and maybe people will be more willing to admit this now that he’s not wearing orange and black.

I don’t think his attitude (me first) was good for the locker room, either. So ultimately I’m happy about this, even if he turns out to be a very good player for someone else. OSU now has another scholarship open to go find a playmaker. Go Beavs!

8pm. This will be the third straight game on ESPNU. So far that channel hasn’t treated the Beavs well.

What I see is a team that’s young and somewhat clueless what it takes to win vs good opponents. They got by Oregon on adrenaline, and I think Cal was an instance of feeding off the home crowd and taking out some of that bad Stanford loss. But I don’t see a team bringing their own emotions and energy to a game, night in/night out, and that’s the problem. They’re also a bad road team, just like last year.

Tinkle showed some major warts on that road trip, especially with his lineup/rotation at the end of the game. Olaf out there, and Olaf taking key shots? That just can’t happen under any circumstance (i.e. even if he makes the shots). As a coach, you don’t want and can’t have your worst players taking key shots at the end of games.
