to fit his system? Has anyone looked into that?

If so, I'm not too concerned about the recruiting class. Not all the best players fit your system.

i would say it would be hard when your scheme only has 5 plays all year.

Whenever things were clicking at Cincy it was a very nice wide open offense. They threw the ball downfield much more than what we've seen thus far. Better qb play all we need.

This is Jones saving grace to this point. We must give him the benefit of the doubt that these guys are what he wants and not just the praise of recruiting analyst.

Have you watched any of these guys highlight videos? Hurd is a complete beast. His speed, hands, and footwork are amazing to say the least. Not to mention the fact that he's big enough to plow through defenders. TKjr is equally amazing. This class is gonna be beast! If we can get a couple more like it we'll be well on our way. I have faith in CBJ.

give CBJ a couple of years. i think ferguson is the best we got. he was injured when worely went down, and didn't want to burn the redshirt with 1-2 games left. good wr's would really help too. they never find a way to get open. with the help thats coming in at wr. should help

The mood of this board did a complete 180 after the Vandy game, eh.

We have a lot of good players coming in. I don't know what Butch can do in terms of developing them, but getting talent in here who stay around for 3-4 years is half the battle, and we seem to be culling a very good class together that could potentially put us in position to win.

I guess 4 star O-lineman across the board just don't fit his "system."

Maybe system changes hampered them. Maybe they are overrated. Maybe, if you paid attention you would know JJames said his growth was stunted because he chose not to work out as a freshman. If Im not mistaken they have the best rushing stats of their careers. Sometimes knowledge helps with perspective.

I'm holding judgment until they get these new guys a year into the system. Even freshmen studs need to learn how to play at this level for the coaches to feel comfortable to open up the playbook for the players to successfully execute the plays.

You aren't kidding... the difference is that this mood has lingered around longer than after the other losses.

I think he was referring to the incoming players

I've told people here before that if the inherited players do not "fit his scheme" that he has a very funny way of showing it. The ones he's recruiting are VERY similar in size and athleticism except the OL's are slower.

I agree all of the read option offenses have one thing in common and that is they have the most athletic kids on the field. Look at MO they just line up and out athlete teams they make it hard for the defense to put the focus on any single player.
