I could beat my dad at basketball by about sixth grade when my ability to dash and change direction was enough to overcome his girth and hook shot, and it wasn't a big deal because he clearly didn't care about getting better. We had a piano in my house growing up, even though no one could play...

Very rough start for this new Reich regime, losing to Hawaii without much fireworks, offensive or otherwise. Gulbranson's stat-line sucked, too, so I hope the problems with the offense won't attempted to be "fixed" quickly with the true freshman black kid.

Six white blockers to push the pile - uncanny! Last year, the tight ends tallied 26 total passes in this offense. Can south Florida native Weston Wolff surpass that in his final season?

It's late in the game this year, but I've discovered a new methodology to help with determining the depth charts we reference. I think we're pretty reliant on the Ourlads team to do the heavy lifting. Most of our posts probably use their projections as handy guides, and that site is great...

Awesome list! Thanks for putting it together. Eight of the top 12 tight end prospects for the 2026 NFL draft are white (source: nfldraftbuzz.com)

Missouri to play QBs Beau Pribula, Sam Horn in opener

Beau Atkinson arrives via North Carolina and seems like he's going to give the Buckeyes two years of great production at DE. He isn't projected highly for 2027, but that could easily change quickly. Max Klare arrives via Purdue and currently projects as a mid/late 1st round draft pick next...

Purdue really got boned by the transfer portal after its failed affirmative action coaching experiment. Former starting safety Dillon Thieneman (Oregon), tight end Max Klare (Ohio State), and linebacker Yanni Karlaftis (Northwestern) all transferred last December, before Odom was hired...

Since 2005, Michigan has started 8, 7, 8, 9, 8, 9, 9, 8, 12, 11, 10, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 7, 5, 8, and 7 white players. They will tie their all-time low of 5 this season. Most of you readers should simply cease and desist reading after absorbing this statement. The only potential stat-aggregator will...

Another Hansen in the mix! There are three power conference tight ends with the same Danish surname. Carsen is a little short to play in the open field, so I'm glad a team found a throwaway position for him to play ;)

There isn't much buzz about 2024 UDFA DE Braiden McGregor, who signed a no-frills 3-year contract last year. I asked AI if McGregor would make the roster: the computer algorithm thinks he has a solid spot as a low-risk backup. McGregor has dealt with several long-term injuries dating back to...

Dusty May is going to field a pretty uninteresting team at Michigan this year. He seems to still find power conference value in Euro bigs and just signed 7'3 Dane Marcus Moller for 2026 (via Spain). His younger brother August Moller, class of 2028, looks even closer to being a future pro. Just a...

Surely a top team in the Sun Belt Conference! Thanks for writing it up. French IV or whatever he calls himself spent his redshirt freshman season at Memphis in 2022 and then transferred for playing time. He has two more years of eligibility, so a good showing in 2025 could see him transfer back...

Center Josh and linebacker James are the sons of six-time Bears Pro-Bowler Olin Kreutz. They have a white mom but are also roughly 1/4 polynesian. Oddly enough, their family tree is online: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kreutz-38 Thanks, Palantir! Josh is the team captain; James started 12...

Interesting that this team appears whiter than Kalen DeBoer's 2023 runner-up team at Washington. Alabama can buy all the up-transfers it wants, and the program will keep losing five-star backups to the portal. Good luck to Simpson, he picked Alabama after being the high school state PoY in...
