Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Deebowbear]

3-2 Alabama win. FSU 52-0 win. Texas 45-0 win. Michigan 27-0 win (so I hit my bet). Boom. See ya, Bama and Alabama

Fla state will lose with backup qb tonight

Man I hope you're right. Just been a bit disappointing. We really need a top 5-7 class. We need some more elite talent.

Need some DBs we whif there every season and it shows on the field

 

[Devo182]

coach Matthews on the radio drooling over Kirby and Saban’s “relentless recruiting” abilities and development. Saying that’s why they’re playing for championships most every year. Let’s go UT join the club and knock ‘em off

Wasn't Pruitt an obsessive recruiter? And yet he never had the classes like Heupel's current and previous. Even with his Mcdy's baggies.

Seems we're doing about as well as possible given all conditions. Though ofc you're always striving for better.

 

[TrippieRedd]

The recruiting classes have improved each year under Heup, currently tied for 10th in the nation on Rivals with only 20 commits. Am I missing something? 3.85 star average per recruit, which is the 3rd highest in quality per commit in the nation per Rivals. That's elite recruiting. Is it Georgia or Bama level recruiting? No, but we are inching closer. Yes, we do need to sneak in a top 5 class. It will happen I feel, sooner rather then later.

He’s done a great job recruiting for sure.
I said this year would be top 7, but our DL recruiting wasn’t very good this year, oh well.

I think next year we break into the top 7. Instate has a lot of good players in 25

If they have the actual back up, they stand a chance. If they are playing with the 3rd string then uh oh.

I want so badly to watch the SEC get left out. Alabama and UGA tears would be the main course and then Sankey watching his two cash cows not make it would be the cherry on top.

I can't handle an easy national title for Harbaugh after getting away with all that cheating.

 

[mrMet]

idk how people don’t like mcafee. That was great

 

[gordonr24]

Sankey makes me nauseous.

He is pompous. He should be promoting the entire league. Thats what a good commissioner does. I don’t like the perception I’m getting from him that he doesn’t want other programs challenging Alabama and Georgia going forward and potentially having the conference beat up on each other.

 

[BigSteve09]

Anyone taking the under 35.5 in the Iowa v Michigan game? Honestly, I don’t think Iowa will score a TD against Michigan. That offense is that bad and Michigan defense is stout. On the other side I don’t know if Michigan is scoring more than 28+ against this really good Iowa defense. I think the under hits.

I took Iowa 1H TT under 2.5

 

[gordonr24]

I can’t believe that I’m rooting for Texas, but I am today.

 

[engineerVOL]

Awful take. You’re literally saying regular season, H2H, conference champ, literally nothing matters

You would put Florida State in the playoffs. Awesome, I would not.

I’m just saying that those are the 4 best *teams in the country IMO. And no, regular season and conference ‘ships do not matter as much as you hope it would with the way things are going. I think Oregon is really good.

*teams that aren’t caught up in an elaborate sign-stealing scandal.

Alabama -vs- Oregon
Georgia -vs- Washington

I threw a small bet for Iowa to win outright. Can’t beat those odds

 

[reVOLution33]

So?

That equates to recruiting is not good enough.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Maybe I'm just old school but I cannot root for Bama in anything. The only time I would cosnider is if their win helped us make the playoff or win the east. But who are we kidding, they would intentionally lose that game to prevent it for us.

F%^ them and any chance they have at anything, in any sport, ever!

Sorry if I offend those I have ignored.

If you worked in Georgia you would understand the “lesser than two evils” approach some of us are taking today. If Bama beats Georgia and the rest is chalk, there is a chance no SEC team gets in the playoff. That’s what I’m praying for.

 

[engineerVOL]

The dad in me would want to berate this “kid,” but this is pretty savage. Haha

 

[Enki_Amenra]

You can parlay Alabama o2.5 total tds + Alabama o12.5pts in the first half for +130

 

[Ten_Titans]

The dad in me would want to berate this “kid,” but this is pretty savage. Haha

Yeah... I think I would have to allow it lol. That's funny...

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I took the Iowa TT under- scared of them falling behind and then having to try to throw and come back leading to short fields for Michigan. I can just envision a 31-7 final

I like the o35pts total in that game. I think Mich gets to 30 and Iowa scores at least 2 field goals. . . so expect a 17-10 game,

 

[Volnut]

They don't call PI in the Big 12 either!

 

[MarcoVol]

That’s an awful lot of weight you’re assigning to AP’s opinion

 

[BigSteve09]

The talent gap is still the only thing separating us.

This stat says it all:

UGA 5 stars: 55 out of 85 roster spots
Tenn 5 stars: 1 out of 85 roster spots

The thing to pay attention to is the Blue Chip Ratio. We will be on it next year I believe. Alabama and Georgia are still way ahead of most but we'll finally be in good company again

 

[knoxvol52]

Which PI rule you like better?
The college rule of 15yards...or NFL spot of the foul

I prefer NFL rule...

 

[TheBigOne10]

I really am at the point that I loathe the SEC. We found a way to beat Saban last year and this year we were punished for it. See the 10-1 penalty discrepancy in Tuscaloosa…..I hope Bama and Georgia both rot. Wouldn’t hurt my feelings one bit to get out of this bush league.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Ok St will not be getting calls today. Not with a playoff berth on the line for the conference.

 

[cncchris33]

AP has said the last 2 years he thought our recruiting would be better.

A lot has changed in recruiting over the last two years that has really reshaped the landscape. NIL and the new transfer rules chief among them. I'm not shocked we haven't fully adapted, yet.
