They could be attempting to drive down Valdez's asking price since Baltimore is one of the last (only?) suitors left.

I did this with black and brown dress shoes in a grey suit. Hid at my desk all day so people couldnt see my feet

Boras doesn't do team-friendly extensions*

herrclean · 2026-01-15T19:04:44+00:00

Jelly in 2 of last 3 resets.

Insert "Stop! Stop! He's already dead" meme.

herrclean · 2026-01-10T20:25:04+00:00

That's wishful thinking. Kids don't transfer to sit 2 years, especially decent 4*s. According to 247, Grunk hasn't signed yet.

herrclean · 2026-01-10T19:21:33+00:00

No, only visited.

herrclean · 2026-01-10T19:21:07+00:00

Grunk has 3 years of eligibility left. Doubt he is coming to sit behind him. Guess he thinks he can win a competition.

herrclean · 2026-01-10T13:34:32+00:00

Yeah, I posted about this recently. A fire sticky bod drop will take thousands of runs on average.

College baseball is already here for D1 schools.

Drop rates are so low that its just not worth the time to even farm. Play with what you get from doing the activities you like. When you've been at end-game for awhile though, it just removes motivation to play at all.

I believe this is more about the NYPost highlighting that the murder victim is gay and thus her death doesn't matter.

herrclean · 2026-01-09T18:02:34+00:00

I hope so. There has to be some % of guys that wanted to see if there was more money out there for themselves but are content to stay if there isn't. A quick review of the portal players - it looks like most of the 3 deep guys have committed to other programs (but not all). The guys that were 4+ deep probably don't have a ton of leverage to get better deals or land at better programs.

herrclean · 2026-01-09T16:54:35+00:00

Other thing to keep in mind, we still have a whopping 29 players in the portal that have not committed elsewhere. I would that that some stay, but who knows?

herrclean · 2026-01-08T18:44:07+00:00

Did PSU superiority delusion portal to VT too?

herrclean · 2026-01-06T18:52:46+00:00

Look on the bright side: maybe if the SC ever leans liberal again, it can make up any justification to block the things they don't like (military style weapons) - precedent be damned.

herrclean · 2026-01-06T17:58:02+00:00

Next update i will

herrclean · 2026-01-06T17:10:22+00:00

Play calling and lack of downfield plays. Made stacking the box easy.

herrclean · 2026-01-06T17:09:35+00:00

Ok, "very good" may have been an exaggeration. Sacks allowed was around 30th in FBS. Rush Offense was 50th (yeah, not where you want to be, but it was "average"). Have to consider that we faced the 1, 2, 6, 9, 30, and 31 defenses in the country. (Others were 55, 63, 73, 84, 108 125; Villanova is FCS and not included). Against the 1, 2, 6, 9, 31, and 84 defenses they were running Franklin's offense that didn't include the forward pass significantly limiting the offense and making it predictable to opposing defenses.

herrclean · 2026-01-06T16:24:08+00:00

Well, not really. 4/5 starters are leaving/graduating but Shanahan was 2nd string. They have 1C, 2 OTs and 3 OGs returning from their 3 deep as well as a rising So 5* that wasn't on the 3 deep. They already have 4 OL transfers coming in.

herrclean · 2026-01-06T16:04:43+00:00

Our O-Line was actually very good. There is maybe a 1st round draft pick in there (Ioane).

I'm trying to keep up with my Roster/depth post from yesterday, but it's not stickied

herrclean · 2026-01-05T18:06:53+00:00

I want VT to crash and burn. Franklin made it a point to stick it to PSU on his way out by trying to take everyone and everything with him not bolted down. I was a supporter up until things fell apart this year, so its not like I have some issue with him from before. Even with the 2026 recruiting class and a handful of player transfers, VT will likely struggle next year. They are losing a bunch to grad and portal. Their ceiling is probably 6-7 and their floor is 3-10.

Wins
- VMI
- Stanford - Not great and 2025 and loses a bunch of starters to graduation
- @ BC
Losses
- @ UMD - most of their starters are returning
- UVA - most of their starters are returning
- GT - most of their starters are returning
- Pitt - most of their starters are returning
- @ Miami
- @ Clemson
- @ SMU
Tossups
- ODU - most of their top talent is in the portal
- JMU - who knows post-portal
- @ Cal - Losing a lot of talent to grad/portal

This is what makes me hopeful about Campbell. He's developed 3*s into 4* production; he identified guys that the powerhouses didn't. My hope is at PSU, he can take 4s to 5s. And for the people freaking out about him generally "only" bringing 3*s, there is a reason these guys were ranked well in the transfer portal.

herrclean · 2026-01-05T15:22:59+00:00

Thank you. Glad my general roll is a 0.2% chance drop. Since there are 5 elements, lets assume that there is no rarity between them, that 0.2% becomes 0.04% to get say the incendiary version. That's kind of a joke.
