Very good results overall for TU players. Josh Johnson should have been drafted.

Fair results for the 2 defectors. I really don’t think their move to Missouri helped their draft status at all. Getting to play with last year’s first round pick Zaven Collins at Tulsa had already put them on every team’s radar.

Every thing you post is negative bullcrap . Tulsa University doesn’t need you and your

continuous drivel .

Tulsa University

The University of Tulsa

It's the truth though. Tell me a decent coach w/ an OC wouldn't have won at least a game or two more with the players on our roster. I'm talking every year over the past several seasons. I know Graham would have. I'm pretty certain Kragthorpe would have as well. Heck Blankenship probably could have won a few more.

Legit question. And it's one that can be asked and should be asked and someone in upper admin should be aware of and also asking. I posed it in another thread. With the amount of playing talent Monty has developed and the amount of coaching talent he has brought in and helped cultivate (and who have been poached by P5s), we should be winning 9-10 games per year. So the difficult question of why aren't we needs to be asked and then the discussion with Monty needs to be had. Granted maybe TU needs to give him a little more $$$ for his assistants so we can retain some of the assistants or bring in an OC he would trust. We can ask these questions without being total pricks though and open things up for legit discussion.

My mistake. Monty is a Genius!!! Very talented coach. TU is lucky to have him.

All good points. We’ve definitely had an increased number of draft picks under Monty. It makes me wonder, how much of it is Monty, and his staff, spotting and developing talent vs being in the AAC.

I suspect we’ll never know the answer to that because by the time TU has a new head coach we’ll be in a weakened AAC and, presumably, won’t be able to recruit the same level of players we are at the moment.

* All of the above is stream of consciousness thoughts and I realize they clearly did a great job recognizing Zaven, that is unrelated to being in this current AAC.

weakened AAC?

10. SEC
7. BIG10/ACC
5. PAC10
4 BIG12/AAC
3 MWC
2 CUSA/MAC
1 SUN BELT

 

[TU 1978]

What these numbers would suggest is that the Big 12 and AAC are equivalent. That’s what many would probably agree with in the ranking of conferences.

Both of those conferences are better than the Pac 10/12/14 in terms of team quality. The PAC 10/12/14 may have a lot of great players but the teams underperform everywhere...it's like an entire conference of Texases

When I say weakened AAC, I mean after Cincinnati, UCF, and Houston leave.

Monty squanders talent like no other.

Most fundamental aspect of college athletics is recruiting. We all know that Monty has had more than a few issues with being a head coach. But I rather have it this way than the opposite. Perhaps, and this is a big perhaps, he will get better. We have witnessed that he has had the tools.

GO TU!!!

 

[loca2874]

Both of these guys have been cut by their respective teams

Tyarise Stevenson/ Vikings
Josh Johnson/ Lions

next cuts August 23rd

 

[loca2874]

Travon Fuller was cut on July 30
Cullen Wick was waived June 10

 

[loca2874]

Only players so far to make the active roster are

Akayleb Evans
Chris Paul
Tyler Smith

I haven’t seen any of the others land on practice squads

 

[rusty-c]

Evans doesn't count. Traitor.....

 

[TU1NNJ]

I would think Big Cat could land on a PS somewhere.
