For anyone struggling setting up recurring donations. It is very simple.

Just click this link: http://angrybeavs.com/contact

Then click “Donate”. Then there will be an area to enter the amount. Right under that it says “make this a monthly donation”. Under that, you can decide how to fund the donation (credit, debit, etc). Any questions just ask.

Hey all,

It’s disappointing, but I lost my two largest donors in the past few weeks. Probably due to political talk. But the short of it is I have too much going on; I can’t work for free in any capacity. I simply don’t have the time. I wrote about this a year ago, and at the time got a dozen or more monthly donors. Things have only gotten more busy for me since then, so even less so can this fly now.

Now we have people complaining about the function of the site on top of this. It takes a lot of time to run the site in terms of creating content, backing up the site, updates, managing users, managing plugins, commenting, etc. People want me to spend more time developing a “block user” function and micromanaging a troll? I can’t.

So, I will be shutting down the site April 1st unless something changes. What I need is (a) the people who are donors to remain and (b) if you can donate monthly, please do. Need monthly donations, not one-time donations. This option is on the donation page. Under the amount it gives the option to make the payment recurring. We have hundreds of readers. If everyone donated a buck we’d be set forever (or at least until the hyperinflation).

So if you guys are willing to do that, I’m willing to keep the site open.

If not, it’s been a great run.

Last thread was getting dense. Hopefully we never have to go through that again. If you have anything political to say, put it in the prior thread.

Stay safe, Beavs. Anything goes. Have at it.

Ranking the 2021 Early Signing Day

My rankings for the guys who signed early. I see no 4-star talent in this group, but a handful of high 3-star talent. I rank my guys in order, so Vidlak would be my top 3-star guy and Byrne my lowest 2-star.

Let me know if I’m missing something. For example, I don’t see Madison as a game-changer, but I know some like him.

***

Sam Vidlak – A 67% career completion percentage, which jumped to 75% his junior year. 44TD and 3INT. This guy is a real sleeper. On film he looks the part. Solid across the board.

Easton Mascarenas – Recruited by the entire West. Biggest win on paper maybe. A bit short at 6ft. Fast. Not much to dislike, but he has a history of injuries, which is always concerning in a guy this young.

Omarion Fa’amoe – Looks legit. And he has an LSU offer. When was the last time OSU beat LSU for a recruit? Good size, fast, and plays mean. Disruptive player.

Damir Collins – I agree with the high 3-star rating, despite the nice offer sheet and accolades. He runs a bit upright for my taste and waves the ball around (fumble issues in Pac?) while running at top speed. I like him, but he doesn’t appear elite.

Jimmy Valsin – Appears to be the Beavs answer to their undersized WR problem. Fast, agile, and cuts on a dime. Nice looking WR. Good win out of Texas. Only in-State offer was Houston, which is a bit of a concern, but this looks like a guy who has upside. I like what I see.

Arnez Madison – the worst of the 3-star guys for me. Not seeing any huge upside here. Runs upright, on film his INTs are all bad passes, and he has a tall/lanky body not really suited for CB. Washington offered him, so we’re not alone. Hopefully that means he can play in the Conference. I see a backup, though.

**

Henry Buckles – Smith sees him as a Center. On film, looks much better run blocking compared to pass blocking. Aggressive run blocker. Might have a wrestling background because he really seems intent on getting his opponent to the ground, to the point he could be a penalty liability if not coached out of that. Decent upside.

Semisi Saluni – I think this guy was on mission and recommitted to the Beavs. Good to see he felt the same after a few years. In the limited film, which is two years old, he looks like an okay player. Seems to be athletic but lacks awareness and this results in him tackling guys well downfield in his “highlights”, rather than blowing up plays in the backfield.

Jake Blair – Very unorthodox style. Entertaining film to watch. Hard to predict how he translates. In a way he reminds me of Josh Allen (WY) light edition. Other programs didn’t think very highly of him, but given his Ivy offers, he at least has the intelligence to play the position.

J.T. Byrne – Strange looking player. Ivy pedigree again. I think he should have taken the Columbia offer. The Beavs have had several disappointments at TE the past few years, and I don’t see that streak ending here.
