2026 / 2027 College Watch Thread

[DoubleDeluxe]

Over 600 yds combined O in the 2nd half.
Did the D's stay in the locker room?

41-38 Ole Miss over LV. Great 2nd half.

Sam Teets with a stock up list. A good weekend for guys we like: Jide Abasiri, Marquie Lightfoot, Whit Weeks, Jordan Ross and Greg Johnson. This statement on Abasiri jumped out at me:

"His performance against Fresno State was one of the best for a defensive tackle I’ve seen in the past four or five seasons."

This is more vibes based than scientific or exhaustive but I'd say the biggest losers stock wise among top prospects this past weekend were:

Sammy Brown
Will Heldt
Drew Mestermaker

I can't think of too many other propects that notably underperformed. CJ Carr perhaps, although I didn't watch him.

I'm not suggesting their stock will actually go down, or that it's terminal, just that those were the three I feel less good about today than I did prior to the weekend.

CJ Carr held his own.

Kewan Lacy missed the 2nd half of the Louisville slugfest.

Sammy Brown was outplayed by Whit Weeks. Will Heldt showed nothing special.

Drew Mestemaker not ready for prime time.

I dropped Brown on my top 40, took Mestemaker off. Lacy also fell off - too many good prospects
