Recruiting Football Talk VII

[butchna]

Should we fahr everyone and start over...again...and again...and again?

Hey we gave them two NCAA investigated signing classes to get us up to 80% 5 stars on the roster. Four four star OL in this class just ain't gonna cut the German style beer mustard!

3rd string backup at that. Really tough break after a great season. Maybe they pull off the ACC Championship game, but they won't last in the CFP past Rd 1.

Ex OSU Quarterback...Cardale Jones line 1

 

[Devo182]

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

It will be stripped away anyways.

Win-win-win

Though I'm all-in on Washington or FSU. Would take Michigan or Texas next.

**** Ala**** and Geo****

 

[InVOLuntary]

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

You are commie scum.

Should have gotten all the QBs meaningful reps! These are just Norvell EXCUSES!
- VN Think Tank prolly

 

[DarthVol1]

That’s impossible thst the committee keeps the sec out entirely. Plus I have this maybe misguided theory that should saban win one more, he’s retiring.

Don't think he retires until he passes Bear for all time wins at Bama. Which would be another 3 to 4 years at their normal pace of wins.

 

[PassedOutAwake]

OSU just can’t tackle these Texas players. Out of hand quick

 

[Jackcrevol]

Agreed, but in three years you've failed to get and or field the players needed to run the defense you want to run. That's a problem.

we will just have to be patient, not something i'm good at with tn football.

i'm ready to win right now. but may take a bit more time.

 

[gordonr24]

Sark will run this score up if he can. It doesn’t matter, because Texas will never play Oklahoma St again. Atleast not anytime soon.

 

[kemotoe]

Texas is curb stomping OK St. Kind of expected it.

For my birthday, I would like for everyone that feels the need to whine and complain incessantly about the state of recruiting or the football program in general to shut the heck up and enjoy life for 24 hours. That isn't too much to ask is it?

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Blue chip ratio has been improving every year I think, but it does take time to change a culture, recruit the right players, and develop them. There is a difference between reloading an already functional culture and building one from scratch, and there is a reason that 5 years is often cited. The most meaningful measure of progress is wins and certainly we've seen that, but obviously this year didn't end up where anyone hoped, Heup included. Whether we'll be contending for championships by year 5 remains to be seen, but I fully expect us to look pretty good by then.

 

[Glitch]

We are in serious contention for landing a 3rd 5*. I can’t name the last time that happened. How much better did you guys expect?

If it isn't all 5 Star Can't Miss Prospects some still won't be happy. Misery is their life fuel.

They don't belong on the same field. . .

Of course, a near pick 6 for Ok St as soon as I post this. . .

 

[TheBigOne10]

Thanks Horns. Don’t let the committee let Bama jump you.

Edit - then they throw a pick

 

[Glitch]

No, but should we address deficiencies or keep doing the same thing and hope it fixes itself?

I don't know what is going on behind closed doors. I can only show up on GameDay and scream my head off. If they aren't fixing things then eventually a change will be made but I don't think it should even be entertained as conversation for at 2 or 3 more years. We have been and continue to be hamstrung by Jurmee's shenanigans.

 

[Volnut]

Thanks Horns. Don’t let the committee let Bama jump you.

If Bama wins, they will find a way to get them in the 4 team playoff. It's just what happens.

 

[Glitch]

Happy bday!

43 ain't so bad unless you have to get out of bed and move around.

 

[SugarCC]

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

I prefer NFL rule...

I'd take either...would just like to see it called for us, then go from there.

That's an awesome group of early enrollees.

I wish all the offensive and defensive linemen could get here for bowl practices. That would be hudge!

Over Texas would be criminal.
