Will Avery be back next year?

[MakeItRain]

Watching Will a couple times this year, he isn’t an upgraded Will. He just has Ohio State around him. Otherwise seems to be our Will still.

Yeah I don’t understand what wetwillie is implying cause if Will is draftable this year it’s cause he was draftable last year. tOSU isn’t coaching him up, they’re just letting him play with a great supporting cast cause he developed into a really solid QB at Cats U.

He's still not going to get drafted, he's not a top 10 or probably even top 15 qb in this draft class. Hes a really good college QB, and has maximized his ability imo and got paid a nice sum to be tOSU's qb this year.

Ok well that makes a lot more sense. Just seemed odd to qualify that statement in terms of “last year” unless your point was that class was also full of superior QBs.

Last year was a terrible draft class and he was going to get drafted or be a PFA signing. It was still a great business decision for him to transfer, and collect a NIL check. He's extremely likely to make more this season than he will next year, whether he gets drafted or not, and unlike running backs, another year of playing college won't have an adverse effect on his draft stock.

if avery joins the lynch mob, a defensive minded organization, do his teammates on the offensive side of the ball feel slighted and somewhat hurt?

[star seed 7]

What if everyone switches sides?

[wetwillie]

That's a fun thought. Who would win if our team played each other but had to play opposite side of the ball?

[chum1]

Why can't all of the players from the offense be in the Lynch Mob? Unless they don't want to be, of course.

You'd have to think that defense playing offense would be better on like every team. Where are you putting a QB on defense? Could you imagine receivers playing safety? Dylan Edwards at linebacker? Oof. I'm trusting VJ Payne at any skill position before Jayce Brown playing defense for a single second. Most defensive players were very good offensive players in high school.

Pffft, I read where Howard articulated a "big difference" between K-State and tOSU is that tOSU encouraged him to release his passes more quickly and to not go so far in his progressions.  Pretty profound stuff if you ask me.

That's interesting.  I feel avery has kind of the opposite problem this year -- i think he's too quick to dump it short.  Though it's hard to tell whether that's the designed play or if his immediate instinct is to throw it to DJamer or a TE in the flat.

there’s a strong possibility that we’ve been so focused on fire that we’ve taken our eyes off of ice

if there’s any chance of invigorating the players focus on ice, i think klieman needs to make sure as hell that it happens.  otherwise, what’s next?

Fire and ice in balance make water. The return of JW?

It’s late November. We are going to have ice in spades any day now.

Legit question:  do you think climate change is hurting the cats by delaying ice further every season?
We can build facilities to help if that is the case. There is an ice rink 10min from my front door that is open all summer. It’s doable, Gene.

[pissclams]

it’s now clear that ice is the answer, the only question is how much ice is too much?

[wetwillie]

Ice cold!

[PandaXpanda]

the sun is shining, but the ice is still slippery

I read this like it was being sung by Outkast in Hey Ya and I sure hope that is how it was intended. 

[DaBigTrain]

I hope not.

Dumb. Remove the safety and the fumble that wasn't a fumble and he had a better game than ISU's QB

[goCats101]

Probably find a way to lose at least 4 games next year regardless of who our QB is.

[I_have_purplewood]

Are we lucky that he's not able to say, "Damn, look at what Howard did this year and now he's in the playoff's"? 

[CHONGS]

What are you talking about? Ohio State will be in the playoffs.

[Skipper44]

lol, i was going to post "at least tOSU won't be bidding tor Avery"

[CHONGS]

I mean if he was looking, you'd be a fool of a head coach not to go hard after Avery.  Every school in the Big Ten and SEC would love to have him.

[michigancat]

I bet the NIL money plus the long term track record Kleiman has with QBs keeps him here

Might need some portal receivers and linemen though

I suppose you're right but everyone hates your guts regardless.  Ryan Day might get fired for winning 10 games again and losing to Michigan again.  At least here most people will just shrug their shoulders and pat you on the back for winning 8 games.

[Benja]

AJ will still be here. At least some of this staff will not. (Unless we have worse problems than I think).
