UT and CJP has to shoot for the stars. When you go against the best to get the best, sometimes you lose. I can’t blame a young man for making a decision to go to Bama over any school.

Hopefully things change during in home visit.

Crouch

One every two years isn't going to cut it in this league.

What part about 5-7 last year are you people not getting?

So the 5 star OL bookends don't count?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

So the 5 star OL bookends don't count?

Gray, DWA, Carvin, Banks, Crouch, Morris, Wright, and many others. But hey, Pruitt gonna have to win some recruiting battles guys!

I wonder if it would've made a difference if we beat Vandy and got to a bowl game

Morris still a 5*? I know at least 247 demoted him after camp

Pruitt needs help. He can't put Neids on every high profile kid we go after. Sure, there are a few that the rest of the staff can hang their hat on, but it's slim.

Or my favorite:

"Let's eat, grandma."

vs

"Let's eat grandma"

Also a classic is" I love college, guys."

It really isn't complicated: just start winning what we should with the talent we have. If Pruitt manages to get from 4-8 to 8-4/9-3, we'll pick up more of the guys on the fence. At this point he's really proven nothing, but if he is who we hope/think, and Saban gets one year closer to retirement, we start winning more of these.

Thus, Tee. Will be a great closer staff in 2020. Better brew a lot of coffee.

Hmmm. I believe he just hired a pretty good recruiter. At least by most accounts.

maybe a little but not enough in this battle. Maybe Pappoe.

Seriously? that's what you took from that?

 

[Catbone]

Dammit i completely forgot about Pappoe

 

[AaronUT]

So because Tua is Hawaiian, and HT is also Hawaiian....they have a good relationship?

Tosh was the one he was close to and Tosh is gone.

Yes.

"I'm told To'oto'o and his family spent a lot of time around the Tagovailoa's and that seemed to help dissuade any concerns with Lupoi no longer being there" (Simonton).

He wasn't committed because of Tosh. He was committed because it's Saban, Bama, championships, sprinkled with some Polynesian.

That's why he hired Tee

Maybe you guys missed my earlier post were I included Tee in FUTURE recruiting battles, or just ignored it. But up until Tee, all we had was Neids.

Hahahahah he wants to go to Bama? We didnt even need him we've got Crouch & uhhh probably Wright ya know seriously the REAL question is uh did WE even want HIM! Hahaha

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

This is going to get some of your bowels tore up, but if Pruitt is going to be considered an elite recruiter, this staff is going to have to figure out a way to win some of these toss-ups on NSD for elite recruits. Something they have not been able to do so far.

Winning will cure a lot of it. Something we also haven't done much of lately.

Next year will be telling on the direction we're headed. We have a great chance at a top 5 class if we can just show a little progress on the field.

100% agree,, Talk to LSU fans about Saban's recruitin'.....$$$$$$$$$$... I hear about it all the time from LSU fans here in Baton Rouge....

 

[kemotoe]

I think some people need some perspective on where the program is at this point in time. We haven’t been elite in these kids lifetime and have been the worst team in the sec east the last 2 years.

Yet some people still expect Pruitt to pull multiple top 100 recruits just because. Be happy with what we get and hope the program is going on the right direction.
