FB RECRUITING Local cornerback decommits from 2025 class

I was talking about how thin he is. He looks extremely underweight to play FBS football. Watch his HUDL and look how thin he is. Maybe 155 pounds dripping wet.

Good height and he can play ball but I don't think coaches look for developmental guys like him much anymore. They want players who could potentially play right away or maybe 1 year away max. It's interesting how quickly the landscape has changed. Nobody wants developmental guys anymore.

Especially in the situation this team is in, yep. True freshman Jackson Lowe is the only outside corner that is on the roster right now that is eligible to be here past 2025 season

He's 6'3 with a 6'8 wingspan. he is definitely light if you mean that but I think he would've been a developmental guy either way. They do have a need for guys that contribute the year after next tho so I could see that coming into play for sure

Looks undersized, which is fine. But when you're that little you better be a stellar athlete, ie. Travis Hunter.

This staff has shown with its recruiting that it definitely values size more than the previous staff. Gonna be hard to find the size that they want though and still maintain the level of athleticism needed to play FBS ball. It's a fine line to walk for sure.

Maybe his visit didn't go well? Not a good fit character or personality wise?

University was in the process of closing their law school. MT was interested and actively negotiating to transfer the school to us. I think there were some costs to MT of approximately $1m. Or leadership doesn't have enough pull to get the TBOR approval so it was shot down. That's it in a nutshell.

Remember it well... ugh

No public university law schools in Middle Tennessee. Only Vandy and Belmont and they are private.

LADY RAIDER BB MIDDLE TENNESSEE (3-1) vs TENNESSEE TECH (4-0) Tuesday Nov. 19 6:30 pm Murphy Center, ESPN+

Arike's presser info on conditioning is very apt. I believe it applies to not only her, but for some of our other starters as well. First thing to go for a tired shooter is their legs. Arike's 1st three early in the game was all net. After that it was brick after brick. Boldyreva's shooting from deep is also down from last year. Another sign of conditioning issues it seems we're having more missed layups than normal. All those things are pointing towards player fatigue becoming a factor. That being said I believe scheduling A&M just prior to the holiday tournament was a mistake. That gives us 3 games in 6 days. Victories against Florida A&M & Purdue are definitely for the taking. However the Iowa St game is very concerning when your starters are playing 40 minutes. With our limited bench play it's easy to foresee that our starters legs will be totally gone by the 3rd period of play against the Cyclones.

Just reviewed the MT players minutes usage for the Tech game. Blue Raider notes showed Boldyreva, Scott, & Gregory all with 40 minute games. Blakely tallied 39 minutes. For bench substitutions Harrison got 1 minute, & Grannum 2 Minutes. And that's it. Bench points were 8 for Tech, & 0 for MT.
I know we've discussed it over & over, but it's hard for me to imagine a team going very far nationally when the head coach apparently only has 4-5 players out of a roster of 15 he thinks are worthy of being on the court.
Tech is not a top 40 team, but looking at our lack of rotation tonight you would have thought TTU was in the top 10.
In CUSA this pattern of using an extremely limited bench will work fine, & we'll probably win 25 or more games again this year, but once again I can't see this philosophy of play allowing us to go very far when it's national tournament time. Wish CMI could have a little more influence, but until coach retires this is our circumstance. Would love to see what Matt & company could do with what looks like a great roster next year. However if coach comes back I think we can all anticipate more of the same. Pick out 5 that he likes, & let the rest ride the bench for the most part all year. And if that happens it will be a shame.

Monson got in for a few minutes in the first half, too, but no one else played.
