DT recruiting- Cause for Concern?

[LittleVol]

If all you care about is recruiting rankings, then we should have just kept Butch.

True.

But now that we have a guy that can develop talent, that makes us getting the most talented players all the more important.

Didn't say that all I care about but you must have high rankings to compete for championships

Look up the last 10 national champions and look at who has the best recruiting classes it's the same teams. Can you develop lower talent and win yes but it lowers your chances of winning the chip

 

[bignewt]

WIn a chip? Ill just a buy a bag. Duh.

 

[MarcoVol]

You don't have to end every valid statement you make with a condescending snarky comment.

No need to call East865 lazy or dumb.

Yes, you're absolutely correct about those facts.
But the reality is that's (you're explaining) is just a copping mechanism against the same anger he's feeling. He's just reacting differently.

My man, analyzing facts and data isn’t a coping mechanism.

 

[RockyTopTexas]

We just got Hobbs.. hes gonna be 320 by next year

 

[LittleVol]

My man, analyzing facts and data isn’t a coping mechanism.

Sure it can be!

Putting things in perspective helps you face the reality.

With that said...he's definitely overreacting. 5 months and change till signing day.

Recruiting rankings mean everything if you want to win championships. Name the last team without a top 5 Recruiting ranking over a period of time to win it all. It's not a thing that happens often

Now that's a ridiculous take, and the answer to your question is Clemson.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

With only one DT commit in the ‘23 class, and none so far in the ‘24 class, how concerned are you? Heard is listed as a DT, but I don’t think it’s a certainty that he stays there. You can’t win at the highest level without very good d-line play, and I’d hate to overrely on the portal. It’s a bit perplexing how we haven’t been able to recruit this position with more success given CRG’s reputation.

CRG has been handcuffed since the whole Pruitt fiasco kicked off our holier than thou movement.

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Not every kid can handle CRG's coaching!

Yeah. Some are like Dwight Howard's boy...

 

[sonofUT62]

And THATS the key! Very good coach, but a bit passed his prime. The younger generation simply cannot handle RG's tough love coaching. Theyd rather go elsewhere, make some NIL $, and be coddled for 2-3 years.

You lost me at passed.

 

[Jackcrevol]

@Freak any chance we can combine this with the 'cant close' thread?

I don't know, whatever jackalope made that other thread has let it go off the rails. It got heated in there quick.

Probably because it was a stupid thread

 

[Frankwillie87]

Probably because it was a stupid thread

We are in complete agreement.

 

[jeff1vol]

You lost me at passed.

Do you feel better? I guess you didnt bother to read the rest of the thread, O' master of the written language.

 

[Glitch]

@Freak any chance we can combine this with the 'cant close' thread?

And then throw the combined pile of crap in the incinerator?

 

[jasonvol18]

we need a full class of 25 bc we're losing a bunch.

beer is good

It's not 25 a class anymore

 

[Jackcrevol]

It's not 25 a class anymore

Correct, its '24.

 

[jasonvol18]

Correct, its '24.

Wasn't talking about class years, but actually what you have available under 85. GA had 26 last cycle and already 26 for the 24 class. Of course ours will be 83 the next 5-6 yrs

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

In his entire career RG has landed four (4) 5* DL.

Daevin Hobbs is his 7th highest rated recruit of all time.

This no knock on RG. It’s to show you with actual facts and data how difficult and rare it is to land 5* DL and why anyone who complains about not landing 5* DL isn’t very bright.

You make a great point. There isn’t very many 5 star DT’s year in an out. The bigger key and what is being missed is that coaches like Garner have the great ability to find the quality 4 and even 3 stars and coach them up. Sometimes the only true difference between high 3 or 4 star versus a 5 is a year or 2 of great coaching and development. Also Garner has always been known as a late closer and finisher. He did it at Auburn and has done it here with West,Pierce and Bradley. Even at Auburn and Georgia he developed the talent he had. Over the years that is how you develop depth. Couple that with OL and DL are the hardest positions to project for the long haul, and this is why you thank your lucky stars we have good line coaches like Ellerbe and Garner. GBO

No sir I don’t feel better.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

CRG has been handcuffed since the whole Pruitt fiasco kicked off our holier than thou movement.

Now that the NCAA problem is over, all the lies which have been told recruits about all the penalties is now over. Look for us to get some really good players in 2024 and maybe a switch or two this year.

 

[UTDB#1]

I got a feeling Tyree Weathersby will put worries of DT concerns to rest along with Hobbs in 24
