Recruiting Football Talk VIII


Sounds like writing is on the wall with Ekler. Levorn Harbin is on the road recruiting.
He’s been designated as an analyst that can go on the road since they changed the rule. It does require an on-field coach to stay. I could see Ekeler leaving, but then we have an open issue with STs. Nebraska is keen to poach him precisely because Frost’s attempt to cover it with an analyst bombed during his tenure.
 
RIP Bill McCartney.
Led Colorado to National Championship in 1990 shared the title with Georgia Tech...

Believe Eric Bienemy was part of that team. Colorado won it for Sal Aunese their QB who passed away from Cancer..... Aunese is also the father of McCartney's grandson..

Played Tennessee that year in the Pigskin Classic, the two schools’ only meeting. 31-31 tie.

Colorado doesn’t have a ton of football history, but McCartney was legendary.

That game randomly showed up in my YouTube algorithm yesterday and I watched most of it. I’m glad ties aren’t a thing anymore.
 
Imagine if the U of Hawaii could get a huge donor base and start stacking the best Polynesians in the country on their roster.

Tbh I think that would be cool af

When I was a kid in the 90s, I thought all kids went to their state schools. In other words, I just assumed all Tennessee players were in state players etc.

Once it was explained to me how recruiting worked and the most talented kids got to essentially pick where they went to school, it blew my mind that Hawaii wasn’t a national power yet Nebraska was.

What kid picks Nebraska when you could go to Hawaii. 🤷

Staff continuity is an important part of success at the collegiate level. Changes are going to happen, but if a playoff team can keep a coaching staff in tact, it's a huge plus moving into the next season.
 
Happy Monday

January 13, 2025: When you find that you are wearing thin, take some time for yourself to rejuvenate. Be kind to yourself, and give yourself a break. Put all of your worries away until you can see yourself as the Lord sees you. Remember that God is with you always. Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
 
Glenn can’t recruit but he can coach.
He can coach run blocking. I will give him that. His OLs have been very good at run blocking. But they are subpar at pass blocking. And he has trouble recruiting. At the very least, they need to find him his own Coach Chop who can help our OL pass block, and who can help in recruiting. Go out and find a good offensive analyst like that and put him on staff, and he can mask Elarbee's deficiencies.
