‘19 TX S Brandon Joseph (Northwestern Transfer)

[99Vol]

Would be an obvious upgrade, but there's a reason Flowers got the green light to return imo.

Yeah, per the stats he grades as the highest strong safety. Per Power Football focus, I believe an 89 while Flowers is around 62. Big difference to me is in the interception category.
PFF grades Northwestern's Brandon Joseph as the nation's best strong safety

 

[NighthawkVol]

It's not about my coaching style. My opinion is that FLOWERS feels he will play quality minutes and there might be a reason for his confidence.

I’m not sure Flowers had another option. He’s not getting drafted at this point. I guess he could’ve entered the portal. Regardless, I think McCollough is the weaker of the two Safeties. I hope Charles and/or McDonald can win one or both of the Safety spots next year.

Serious? Hyatt Holiday and Calloway all run a sub 4.4

They don’t in pads.

Agreed. The OPTION would be to move on with his life. Sitting on the bench or sitting in the stands would cancel each other out. I think he thinks he's playing.

Makes sense, kid who chose NW out of HS picking ND as his step up.

Swing and a miss. Would have been nice to have.

Was there ever much of a swing? Feel like you could say this with every recruit ever that didn’t pick UT. So I guess in a sense, you’re correct. We’ve “swung and missed” on about 300 recruits this recruiting season I guess…….FIRE HYPE!!!!

Yeah losing out on him to notre dame isn’t very painful. Meh

This isn't a swing and miss. There was never really a line of communication with us and this kid. We were never a factor.

Not good.

NO ONE was ever a factor. Keep up.

He entered portal to transfer to ND. This was always where he was going. Poaching

Dude is trying to be mayor of troll town. Every recruit we don’t get he complains and will probably say every coach we have sucks.

Yeah, I see what he's doing. Here lately, I've been trying to stay away from replying to dumbazz posts, trolls, and our doomers and gloomers (exhausting!!! I'll take trolls over doom and gloom, ANYDAY); but, I'm in the mood to get dirty today.

Exactly what one would do. Thank you for proving my point.

It would be nice to have 4 quality safeties we can cycle through. Regardless of how poorly McCollough played at times he and all these safeties will be going into year 2 in the same system. This is where we see player development skills we should have 1 or 2 players naturally progress and emerge in 2022

Very true. We should see improvement across the board going from year 1 to year 2. Ole Miss is a good example…their defense improved tremendously this season.
