Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[hjeagle1vol]

2 qbs you hated in college, but are killing it in the NFL and admittedly a better watch than most?

Baker and Bo for me

LK gone

i was gonna use a "Midnight Oil" reference........anyway.

Arkansas really packs in the fans for their women’s basketball games.

I've been in libraries that had more noise.

That makes no sense---a percentage of a contract is just that. It doesn't have anything to do with the length of the contract. Once the contract is up, the agent negotiates the next contract---for a percentage

My point was there’s not often a “next contract” for NIL college players unless they blow up and decide to not go pro. I don’t know how many NIL agents go on to be their clients pro agent too.

 

[peaygolf]

wow........I remember these. They were so cool.

Killer poster.

Notre Dame upgraded when Brian Kelly walked. Joke’s on LSU.

Makes one wonder what Freeman could do with the sort of in-state talent available at an LSU or Florida

Don’t get emotional

I have no idea who I’m messing with, huh? Stay cold and collected like you, gangsta.

Was looking at our 2026 class, which is off to a great start as yall know. I didnt realize that we had 8 commits already. So about 1/3 of the class. That happened fast. Cant wait to see who else jumps in the boat. Pretty sure we have a couple more guys we are in a good spot with set to announce late Jan/Feb. I appreciate all the effort by those who track all this stuff and make the threads etc. Thanks for the effort guys.

Is it?

Of course ankings will change, both up and down, but so far out of 8 commits, only 1 bluechip.

Obviously Faizon is a massive bluechip to have, but we need a whole lot more. It would help a lot if we could at least reach Penn St/ND level talent in the next year or two. Our scheme is good enough to make up the remaining gap.

Meh. I like the third one I suppose. Orange one looks too much like a football jersey. And never been a big pin stripe guy.

The orange is my favorite.

My only question..... I know Tony said they were going to retire the current black jerseys, I wonder if we will get another or it's just gone.

In general, Glen does the absolute bare minimum in recruiting. If we land someone, it’s generally because of some other reason. If we don’t land someone, people like to point to the OL coach not building relationships because that’s a reasonable thing to do.

The unfortunate reality is there isn’t a single person around the program that gives him a passing grade on recruiting, which is why all “insiders” say the same thing.

Undefeated “narrative”. Almost sounds different with you saying the SAME THING. Must be the online accreditation.

 

[Devo182]

If those awards are your measuring stick....

Ok then, how about paving roads for an (non Day 1, maybe even Day 2) RB breaking all-time records?

Is that any good?


They were semifinalists for a reason.

I was actually agreeing with you and explaining why people to believe that to be the case.

Well
We went 10-2 with lesser talent this year
What the hell is the problem
Talent and coaching?
But then you see finalists for that award and not many can say that for three straight years

If you fire him who do you realistically get?

Will coaches knock down your door to come to a place to coach that fired the previous coach who was a consistent awards finalist recognizing good performance

What do you do, and what’s your realistic plans if you do fire him

I'm pretty sure we could very realistically upgrade Elarbee. And we did not have lesser talent, we were more talented than every single team we beat except maybe Bama, and that's close after all their attrition post Saban (and more talented by a lot than one of the teams we lost to).

And we went 10-2 mostly because of our beyond elite DL.

Lady Vols layeth the smacketh down on Arkansas today. 93-63


Improve to 14-2 on the season 2-2 in conference..

Sampson did a LOT of his work despite the OL, but they were pretty decent in run blocking. Not at all good in pass pro.

We’re retiring the black?? That’s sad.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Tony said after the natty they would be, at least in their current form. So I'm guessing their might be more, but they didn't have any in that Pic so......

I would like the orange one, if it was a button down, but agree with you

Full year before I was born, but I remember the stories about it when I was 5/6 years old...........
It's what I grew up with.
