We have 6: add Cotman, Bennett, and Bumphus. From 2013-2015 about 40% of 4 stars were busts.

A conservative estimate says 2 of the 6 will be busts. Who ya dropping?

Not sure which rankings you use, but the composite says 3.

I'm not dropping any of them now.

I probably would not have taken Bennett before having an answer from Hansard. Bennett could project well once he adds about 30-40 lbs. JMO though.

I'm using Rivals and why won't you drop any (or never have accepted commitments from)? 40% will be busts, surely you have an opinion on who it might be.

Or are your powers only limited to low rated, out of state 3 stars?

40% overall may be busts. What if mine aren't part of that 40%? LOL

Low rated isn't much a factor as in some cases like the Ross situation I prefer the 3* to the 4* in Moore.

Yes, instate always plays into decisions for me. If I see 2 recruits as similar talent wise, give me the TN kid every time.

CJ Lewis Vs Cole Copeland? Sorry CJ, spots filled.

Chase Hayden over Trey Coleman? Yes please.

What's the difference between this and saying which 3 stars you'd never have accepted a commitment from? Are you not saying you expect those guys to be busts if they sign here?

Btw, you put Lewis and Copeland on "similar talent"? Lol I'm done.

It's very different as I wouldn't have taken them in the first place. Very different than cutting kids I took. Also if you're cutting 2 of 6 based on 40% being busts, wouldn't the new 6 also be at the same 40% bust risk? LOL

I'm not saying those I listed will be busts. Just not takes over guys I'd have higher on my list of takes.

As for the Lewis/Copeland comment, I like Cole better. Better athlete. TN competition isn't big time, but I'd put it up against CT anytime. We're looking for a capable QB for depth. Instate kid could have fit in nicely.

I suppose I figured if you had an opinion on which 3 stars you'd have held off on, you'd also have an opinion on which 4 stars you'd also hold off on. But as Bruin pointed out earlier, consistency isn't your strong suit.

If there was a 4* I'd hold off on I'd say so as I did with Moore.

As I said I'd also have waited on Bennett(you using Rivals rating) till I got an answer from Hansard. IMO Hansard makes an impact much sooner.

Gray, Gaddy, Crosby I'm good.

Bumphus and Cotman(after he visited) using Rivals, I'm good.

I would sooner ditch the Crosbys and add Hansard than drop Bennett.

Although I like Brandon Gaddy's potential, his bigger (literally) brother is way too big and undoubtedly has a lot of work to do before he sees any meaningful playing time. Grade concerns have also been mentioned. And although Bennett might not be an immediate impact, he has great potential and is a Bama legacy to boot.

The commitment pic of the Gaddy Bros had me thinking Breyon carries that 320-340 we'll. I do think he can be 310-315 in no time once on campus. Especially with his brother working along side him.

The grades would definitely come into play for me before I took a commitment. I wouldn't take it unless I felt they were good to go. After Henderson didn't make it last year, I'm hoping the staff is being more careful.

Did we lose Foster?

I don't know about Foster, but I did lose one of my favorite socks recently. My wife says I look silly walking around in just one sock, but I'm not ready to let the other one go, in the hopes that the missing one finds its way back to me.

Just thought I would pass that along. Keep me and my missing sock in your thoughts VN.

Get a crowbar and a sledge hammer. Go to town on your dryer because it ate your favorite sock.

That sucker's going down as soon as I get home. Has anyone passed this news on to Butch? Could be some kind of correlation here.

Our recruiting is in the dryer and all our recruits keep getting eaten? Seems like the only real plausible solution.
