2025 / 2026 College watch thread

Three good games this weekend

1700 - Texas Tech v BYU (UK time)
2100 - Alabama v Georgia
0100 - Ohio State v Indiana

We could just go by GMT or Zulu time as we called it in the service.

If you're watching the BYU/Texas Tech game today, there's lots of good names on the Tech defense but one not talked about too much is their DT Lee Hunter. A quick one-gapping NT. He's my, 'if we don't re-sign Tonga' favourite.

I think you may have more Texas Tech binkies than I have RS sophomore binkies, and that's saying something.

Is there anything this man can't do?

BYU got smacked by TT earlier. I think they can do better than that game. I haven't seen any BYU this season though outside of highlights. So I am curious how they look.

Also, I know BYU is a rich school due the Mormon church/community and all that entails. But isn't it kind of interesting they decided to invest so much effort into sports? You wouldn't think that be a BYU focus. Not that they are a blue blood or anything, but they threaten the top 25 most years.

I really like the way ****ey runs. Looks like he'd be a good pass catcher too.... IDK if you knew or not, that is a big thing for me when it comes to RBs. Next year for him right?

He jumped out to me while I was looking at film of David Bailey. I think he'll be a future binkie of mine... Needs to up those reception numbers though! I hope to see 30+ next year.

How is he not currently ranked as a draftable player? Looks to be an UDFA right now in some rankings... but 11 turnovers doesn't happen completely by accident.

Edit: NVM... I found him in 2. So he is rising.

There's Lee Hunter with the 3rd down TFL.

PFF have him ranked at 102. Who has him undraftable?

Not ranked on Walter Football for instance... and they are a pretty well known site.

Well known for the wrong reasons.

Since we are on the topic... what do you think are the top 3 or so draft sites? Besides Patsfans.com of course.

I tend to go PFF, NFL Draft Buzz and here for what i think is the best info... Maybe i'm missing a good one?

James Foster on X.

NFL Mock Draft Simulator for consensus big board and listing all the mocks.

I found NFL Draft Buzz invaluable for summer scouting although it tends to be too effusive about prospects.

Don't forget AI. Ive got some good use out of Grok and ChatGPT this year.

Foster very good.

I like Sam Teets, Cory Kinnan, Ian Cummings (PFSN), Mike Renner (CBS Sports), Bleacher Report, among others. Dane Brugler (The aathletic) and Chad Reuter (NFL.com) both good. I like The Huddle Report, Scoutd and of course Daniel Jeremiah, but their stuff doesn't come out till later.

Field Yates and Jordan Reid also have some good tidbits.

He's not someone I've paid too much attention too before today.

 

[manxman2601]

I don't know how well he translates to the NFL but I love Texas Tech safety Cole Wiesnewski. Hard hard hitter.

Not so hot.

And TT has left about 10 points on the board.
