Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jack Burton]

So what's the statute of limitations on complaining about portal transfer recruiting from prior years?

If you see a trend it’s worth noting.

Five year rebuild.

Like I mentioned, it’s still early this cycle but to gain confidence in our coaches strategy I’d like to see some upgrades by the end.

So one class, 2022, is what you’re judging the high school o line recruiting on? Do you think that’s fair? Or should we also include the class that’s about to sign as well, or maybe see if Sham, Larry Johnson (you mentioned Lang) need more than 8 months of college football to give out a verdict?

Just seems like you’re letting this Addison Nichols news skew your view of the coaching/recruiting job overall

I see other programs across the P5 play true freshman up and down the line. Do I expect Ollie Lane and Dayne Davis playing meanfully snaps in year 3, absolutely not. Do I expect to have at least 1 guy we recruited from HS to be at least in the 2 deep at this point, absolutely.

Are we not going portal heavy for starters if our super seniors don't return?

Do we not take way too many "projects"?

These are all fair questions and why I stated I was concerned.

Can you imagine walking a mile and a half in that god awful mainland Florida heat? Talk about swamp nuts. No amount of dollar well margaritas sounds worth that.

Grew up and still live in Florida. Yes I can. I like the heat lol.

?

We accept a bid to go there and then they troll us with a spurrier all timer? That’s not very nice.

Is there any hope in the Tyler Baron pipe dream that AP hinted at?

IMO slim I think he may go portal tho if he doesn’t end up back here.

Just curious, how many SEC teams started true freshmen on the OL? We haven’t recruited at that level yet.

I think the UConn TE is coming to hear the offer. I think the ND TE is coming to visit.

Here you go.

Wait...I thought he was declaring for the draft? So he's either doing that or transferring? Makes no sense.

I kinda hate how AP says both things when answering a question…he should be a meteorologist.

“It may rain, but if it doesn’t then expect it to be dry.”

Without looking it up, Bama start a RT this year. LSU started two Tackles last year. USCjr started a center and a guard (I think) last year as well. Let me verify real quick.

Hope they can get Juice Wells for Nico. That dude is awesome.

 

[BigSteve09]

AP thinks Sampson will be back

If it's so subjective, why do folks like Jerry Palm nail it almost every year?

Lol. I clearly said it is less subjective.

And every year people complain about seeding and the “eye test”.

Point is, and was, that it’s an “analytics and eye test” process - which was the original complaint about the CFB process.

Baron is what he is. Baggage. Give me Pearce and Joseph’s and let’s ride.
