Yep, forgot they lost Stogner, Bell, Loyd and Jordan Burch. Those are some studsBeamer recruits very well. Things to consider:
1. Lost a ton of people (including multiple former 5 stars) to the transfer portal
2. Is working with a school/NIL who is not very top of the line
3. A good recruit does not make a national championship/sec championship/sec east winning team (see hendon hooker, Darnell Wright/all sorts of other 5 star prospects)
4. Never been a good coach at any level and is hampered by the fact he's at south carolina (Steve Spurrier is a generational coach who won the east once and got skull stomped in the sec championship game).
SC is crootin their arses off. We might have to rethink the VN narrative of Beamer being a bumbling incompetent.
Speaking of Butch, blows my mind he had 28 commits in his last class (2017) and had 23/28 were three star players. That was his class after we had gone 9-4 back to backButch also recruited his arse off and he was king of the bumbling incompetents. If Shane Beamer wins 9 games in the regular season this year then I will believe he is the real deal. Until then, the last two games of 2022 are a complete fluke and I am not buying him as a program builder.
I don’t know what his potential but he did beat us and Clemson while scoring 16 total points against Missouri and Florida…. That seems very much like Butch.I think that’s a sour grapes driven narrative but we will see.
Dude beat us and Clemson in consecutive weeks. That’s nothing to scoff at.
I still think we spank them in Neyland.
