'24 DC OT Jordan Seaton (Future Portal Entry)

[DD4ME]

Can we get back to talking about anything other than Seaton since we all agree he isn't coming here.

Fiffy

Well, MarcoVol, according to your argument(you cannot lose what you never had) you cannot lose a game. You are denying existence of the broadly accepted, common usage of the word.

I’m glad to see Golesh doing well. It’s good to have former assistants experiencing success in the lower ranks. I hope Heupel is here for a long time, but if he wins a NC and decides to test the NFL, an already seasoned former assistant, available to step in, who has an existing relationship with our AD, is ideal.

Plus, he seems like a likable dude.

Plus would love to see USF become a recruiting thorn in UF’s side.

Seaton, Ginther, Warren, Satterwhite, and Anderson are immediate upgrades over guys like Reddick and Grant. Get them in the program and prep them to be able to take over next year.

Only young lineman we have I have any confidence in is Vysen Lang and that’s only because he was supposedly our back up center at one point. No one else can sniff the fields

Hell I bet if we landed Seaton, he could push for one of the guard spots year one

Agee on Reddick, but I think some are sleeping on Grant. He was a project when recruited, only playing a year of football. But Elarbee is high on him. Next year will tell the tale with him.

This one is not going to happen. There was a time when it was, but that’s passed. Our efforts are focused in other places now. We’re answering the phone when he calls but not spending all our time and efforts toward pursuing him.

Would we honor our original offer if he comes here? I guess he’s asking for more now?

I would guess the original offer still stands, but I would just be stunned if he flipped to us. He’s probably going to Maryland. Staying with Colorado would be stupid on his part though.

As a matter of fact, Alex Golesh won 3 more games this year than Jeff Scott did in his entire 3 year tenure at South Florida.

South Florida : Under Scott

2020 : 1-8
2021 : 2-10
2022 : 1-11

Total : 4-29

South Florida : Under Golesh

2023 : 7-6

He’s one of the top young coaches in the game today. With USF breaking ground on new stadium in fall 2024 my Alma mater will try hard to keep him.

Apply this argument to interviewing for a job. If someone else is chosen, you didn’t lose the job. You lost the opportunity to continue to interview for the job - the only thing you actually had.

When a recruit picks another school, you lose the opportunity to continue to show them why they should come to your school, bc that’s all you had. Never had a commitment = never had the recruit. Thus you cannot lose them.

A very good way to look at things. Thanks for posting.

@Mrpeabody8888 or @MetalVolunteer is there any new movement at all with Seaton?

Plus who wouldn't want to live in Tampa or Wesley Chapel or New Tampa area and make over a million a year. Tampa area is the best place to live in Florida in IMO besides maybe Sarasota.

Upside too is if Golesh takes a lower graded recruit and makes them into a P5 ready contributor then USF becomes a training ground for future Vols transfers.

Having a coaching tree in the G5 ranks becomes a massive advantage in today’s game. You get an inside track on project players who pan out.

Not sure but, Big Orange Choo Choo has been right on last two commits.

Brr?

 

[JT3]

Yeah, but we were also just more banged up, worse at QB, worse at WR and worse on the o-line (didn't have time to develop a lot of plays)

It's still hard to tell just how much we actually missed from him.

I personally think it was a combination all of those things you mentioned plus the loss of Golesh.

 

[jakez4ut]

I believe Seaton is a Vol by days end.

Who’s with me?

he stays with CU or goes home to MD.

he's not coming here.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

he stays with CU or goes home to MD.

he's not coming here.

All he is doing trying to get more NIL money.

i kind of agree here....except i will say, regarding the O line, had we been healthy all year, meaning a healthy Mays that went thru all the pre season stuff and was available the 1st 4 weeks, that may have changed a couple of games, in particular, the FL game.

so while i get while it's easy to say the OL was worse, considering who wasn't there this year vs. last year, the OL really wasn't "bad".

WR...step back. QB step back. TE step back. need all of those to step forward this year, and the OL to p/u where it left off. i think we can be good next year if Nico is anything close to the hype.

i just think he likes the attention. it has a shelf life and he's maximizing it. Money, i don't think, is gonna be an issue for him.

HIS HANDLERS PROBALY WANT MORE!!!

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

If he doesn’t come here, it’ll be because Boo called him a snake on Twitter.

Golesh' success simply proves that Heupel taught him well and he was a good student. The difference wasn't Golesh, it was HH and Hyatt.

All of these things can be true. But to think losing Golesh wasn't a big deal and replacing him with a 1st time coordinator had no effect on this offense is crazy to me.

 

[jakez4ut]

i just think it's hard to say given the whole set of circumstances. it was a whole lot of "new" on the offense this year, and what was crazy to me was the expectation level that it was just gonna look like last year, even if not AS productive. and we still won 8 games and flipped the script on the style this offense played with. i think the staff actually did a pretty good job all things considered.

we "got thru" 23 to get to 24 and beyond. i still think CJH has a firm grip on the offense. and i think losing CAG was significant, but not something we couldn't/can't/didn't overcome.

with the offensive talent we're set to bring and have over the next few years, you'd think that should be the tell tale.
