Rivals has a bunch of free videos up:

https://oregonstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1667195

VanderVeen, Mamma Machado Day 3, Riley, etc. Just go through them all.

Looks like they’re trying to have Bolden replace Cooks. Haven’t heard anything great about Hunter Jarmon (this guy says he’s not elite). Depressing. Bolden is okay, but he lacks body control/has crazy legs. Depressing Larry Scott is beating out Hunt, too. Malcolm Marable in the dime package? No. This guy cannot see the field. Period.

Riley looks tired/old — hard to envision this guy innovating or doing anything great at this point.

Also, Ryan Nall getting looks at RB.

Day 1 Fall Camp / Offensive Line

Some notes from Eggers

Issac clearly a bonehead, who has now put the team in jeopardy:

“The healing had stopped and (the break) had gotten a little worse,” the son of OSU defensive line coach Joe Seumalo says. “My fault, I think. I was so eager to get back quickly, I was doing a little too much on it.”

And more:

Worst-case scenario would be that the healing process is so slow, Seumalo chooses to redshirt.

“That possibility has crossed my mind, but I’ll cross that bridge if it comes,” he said. “I don’t really want to think of that right now.”

What an idiot “doing too much” on it…

And Riley on the line:

“It’s not that great right now,” Riley says. “I still have high hopes that by the time the season gets rolling, or shortly into it, that we’ll be good up front with a solid five starters, and then have the best depth we’ve had in a long time. This picture can change with the good health of Isaac and Grant.

Hope is not a strategy.

Bad planning by the coaches coupled with poor decisions by individuals make the odds of this all coming together miniscule.

This looks like yet another disaster for OSU’s offensive line. They have not been serviceable since the pre-Remmer line (2006/7?). I don’t know about you guys, but reading that report does not get me excited.

NFL.Com 14 Best College Coaches

This is pretty messed up

14. Mike Riley, Oregon State

Career record: 88-73
NFL draft picks the last five years: 9
In addition to being one of the best coaches in college football, you’d be hard pressed to find a nicer coach in the sport than Riley. He might not yell and scream like others on this list, but he’s a sharp offensive football mind and knows how to get the best out of players who often aren’t as talented as those they line up against. Plus, how many top-notch coaches ride their bike to work everyday?

How I read this: he’s really nice to the media, and he rides his bike to work every day, so we want to rank him high.

I mean they do nothing to back the claim that he’s one of the best coaches (for example, have they seen his time management, inability to get the right players on the field, putting players at the wrong position, mismanaging timeouts, having won meaningful games, etc?). Sharp offensive football mind? Maybe 10-20 years ago that was true. The game has changed, and Riley is stuck in the 90s.

At least they’ve given me the blueprint on how to get AB voted best blog in America. (a) Smile like a lunatic (b) talk like I have a learning disability even though I don’t (c) bike to work (d) be nice. Really it’s the latter—the media has a raging boner for this guy just because he’s nice to them.

Sam Noyer — High Interest. No offers. Local QB.

Gabe Reid — Low interest, many offers. Utah guy who’s dad played for BYU and he has a Stanford offer.

Jeremiah Ieremia — Moderate interest, many offers (Washington is his best right now).

Morian Walker — High interest, no stars, no offers. He’s considered a good prospect (UCLA and USC have some interest).
