ESPN puts out their Big Ten preview and has us mentioned as standing in the way of Oregon and Ohio State like we are just some speed bump on their road to the title game. That is exactly the disrespect this program needs to feed on. We are NOT a speed bump we are a program that has quietly stacked talent in the 2026 class while the media obsesses over Oregon's five 5-stars and Ohio State reloading. The crystal balls are starting to trend our way on a few 2027 targtes that nobody is talking about yet and the silent commits we have in the wings are gonna make people rethink everything when the 247 composite updates. I have been watching this staff work the dead period and the relationships they are building with the juco and portal guys are gonna pay off in ways the rankings cannot capture right now. Oregon and Ohio State can have the headlines we will take the bumps when they matter.
