Holding Onto 2014 Commits

[Volador]

CBJ has exceeded everyone's predictions for the number of quality commitments for 2014. But those are verbal. Here is what I project to be our chances for signing those 3 Star Prospects and above come next year after this Fall's performance on the gridiron:

#of Wins/# of Losses and the % 3*+ Kept

4-8 40%
5-7 45%
6-6 50%
7-5 70%
8-4 or better 90%

[Velo Vol]

What are these odds based upon?

Here is my projection that you pulled that out of you a$$: 100%

 

[salutethehill]

Volador hates us.

There's no way we lose 60% of our recruits.

None

Nada

Zilch

 

[NEO]

Let me play devil's advocate for a minute.

Many people on here state if Butch Jones loses a bunch of games this year we will lose our recruits. One guy even gave his odds on here breaking it down per game. I thought that was cute.

But what if a lot of these guys are coming here because they think the current team is a bunch of scrubs and they will have instant playing time? What if these scrubs go out and win 8 or 9 games and suddenly the recruit believes instant playing time is no longer an option? What if winning actually cost us some of these recruits? What if?

I mean what if?

To much fireball imo

 

[Vol_51]

Thats a scenario I wouldn't mind. The recruits will still come, hell they'd probably be more excited to be a winner sooner rather than later.

 

[DJones54]

They've done studies you know...60% of the time, it works every time.

:blink:

 

[NMVol]

Are you saying maybe would should have kept Dooley for the recruiting advantage?

 

[McDad]

Playing time, instant contribution, or whatever you call it doesn't effect Bama's recruiting. That program has talent 3 deep in the roster. Our wins will not negatively effect recruiting. It will only get better.

 

[HottyToddyVol]

 

[HLH91govols]

6-6 or better and they all stay. These recruits are committing to be the foundation of a new program built upon their talents. Anything less than 6-6 and we might have a few decommit but come on 50%?? You gotta be kidding

Bs jabber! No basis to op's statement. Vol fans seem to want to be miserable even when things aregreat

We had better hope we lose 8-9 games this year.If we go bowling, FIRE BUTCH!

Nothing changes to the negative. We are still very thin and will lose a lot of experience after this year. Like Vol_51 said they would be more excited because the rise back to the top would me a much shorter one with their help.

Alabama has depth everywhere and has no trouble signing one of the best classes every year. Thats what we call a good "problem" to have

 

[HLH91govols]

Volador doesn't get it.

 

[photovol]

Much will depend on how the Vols play this year. If we lose to WK and win only 1-2 SEC games, many of the 2014 Commits will bolt for safer grounds unfortunately. If we knock off a favored SEC team it will help retaining 2014 commits immensely. Not many of the best recruits want to play for a loser.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Big time recruits want to play for winning programs, so you got to win eventually or we will be coach shopping again.

 

[Tenacguy50]

We'll be fine no matter how many wins/losses come this year. k:

[DJones54]

hmm...

 

[terrypedigo]

It will be like it always is we will have a few to defect, and a couple will be told to look elsewhere plus we will go in to someones kitchen and steal the dinner thats cooking, and when we steal it i think it will be steak, i hope.

 

[LotteryPick]

This is incredibly dumb.
