WTKA Roundtable 8/22/2024: We Got the Guy

51 minutes

Things Discussed:

NCAA solved tampering: they got Kirk Ferentz for Cade McNamara! Way to go NCAA. You solved the problem!

Evan Link/right tackle: Makes us nervous. When there's a battle that's good it looks like center; when you're looking in the portal, can't decide on two guys, then have a third guy late it's less likely you have three starter-caliber players and more likely you have none. But what level is this happening at?

Breakout season: What qualifies as a breakout? Because Tyler Morris?

Picks: Sam has El-Hadi, says he's another guy that people were coming at with big money to jump into the portal. Seth has him too but Marlin Klein has been generating legends. Brian: Mullings, but Semaj Morgan: Michigan incorporated him more into their gameplans, and screens keep safeties away from a QB run game.

Mullings: Always something extra. Can be another matchup problem, has INCREDIBLE feet for his size. Ron Dayne.

TE blocking: Loveland's effectiveness is extra

Defensive breakout player? Again, what's a breakout? If you say Barham is going to be the best LB in the country? Craig: saying it.

Derrick Moore? Seth says already broke out, Brian says if you're saying Moore's an All-American.

Brian's pick: Zeke Berry—seems like he passed a Guy in McBurrows.

Seth's pick: Also Berry because there's a lot of Peppers in his game. Not Sainristil's level in being a savant, but lets them play more man and blitz more.

But let's talk about Jyaire Hill. Sam: projecting him to start. Seth: had the furthest to go. Younger than most of the freshmen on the team, has Devon Witherspoon talent, and like Witherspoon, Hill had a long way to go before he could play in Michigan's pro-style defense. The more you hear his name the better the news, because the only question is when he gets the defense down.
