Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[BigSteve09]

hope everyone is ok after those storms, my goodness

blew in our screened-in porch and knocked over some trees. blew everyones small things and trash all around the neighborhood

not really upset about it tho because cruits

 

[Smokey'sHandler]

Bad take

Whoa! Throttle back there shooter! Let Schiano get his first 4 star to commit before you start putting him on the same level as Pruitt right now.

I will give it to Schiano though getting a recruiting class to Rutgers that has 12 recruits with 9 3 stars and 3 2 stars is fairly impressive for them.

 

[BigSteve09]

Great. Barton will be talking about it on both of his podcasts, which I usually like.

CFB writers can be so hipster sometimes. They'll throttle back the Vols hype just because, then turn right around and talk about how UNC is building something special.

I didn’t give any names of the time before.

Or Carolina Jackpot?

Usually like him too. Bad take because it lacks a big picture look and taking fit into account.

 

[scvolfan7]

I know that area has talent but all
I know to do is to look at the history of the recruiting at that place and it’s outside the top 60 much more than not. He deserves at least some praise to this point

Meh

 

[ReadCT]

Very impressive to a peasant. We here talking big boy football

Rutgers even being half way decent would so put a dent in Penn St and Notre Dame recruiting.

 

[GojiraVol17]

Meh

I’m starting to think BruinVol doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about, like, ever.....

 

[BigSteve09]

Cover 3 is probably my favorite CFB podcast. That trio is top-notch. I was really excited when Barton announced his other podcast too. This hasn't put me off him at all, there's just always this contrarian angle that CFB personalities take, almost out of habit now. When it's good, it's not THAT good. When it's bad, it CAN get better.

I don’t care what anyone says, or what the websites show, North Carolina’s class isn’t even remotely close to being as good as ours.

Their average is over 2 pts higher. Gotta give them credit.

@Freak what does it mean to “follow” someone? Is there a way to be notified when certain posters make a post?

13/14 commits are from NC. When they start landing Georgia/FL kids I’ll be impressed.

Weren't Brown and Mims quoted as wanting to go to the same school and play together

Not just wanting I think Mimms quote was definitely going to the same place

Speaking of Rutgers, this is some snippets from an article written by one of the sports writers at NJ.com:

Here’s a scenario that’s not getting nearly enough attention: What if half the country is ready to go full steam ahead with the season as scheduled, or close to it, while the other half isn’t ready to consider filling a stadium? Then what?

“This could lead to a culture war in college sports,” one longtime coach said.

That would be fascinating to watch unfold -- and Rutgers, because of its geography, would end up right in the middle of the firestorm. No major college program on the East Coast might be impacted more because of COVID-19 and the lockdowns nationwide.

The most realistic scenario for Rutgers might be a “spring” season that begins in the winter and gives everyone another six months for scientists to have a better understanding of the virus and possible treatments. Several other Big Ten programs, given news reports out of Michigan and Ohio, could face a similar situation.

Well, try selling that in Georgia, where Waffle Houses are already open for business, or Florida, where the beaches are starting to reopen. Try telling the folks at LSU that they won’t be able to defend their national title until May or June, or convincing the fine people in Alabama that a spring season is better because of ... RUTGERS?!

The lines already are getting drawn. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a radio interview on Thursday that a coronavirus lockdown someplace else wouldn’t stop his conference from playing this fall.

“If there’s a couple of programs that aren’t able (to play), does that stop everyone? I’m not sure it does,” Sankey said on 1010XL in Jacksonville.

Meanwhile, John Sharp, the Texas A&M system chancellor, “told all 11 university presidents in the system that they will reopen their campuses this fall and be ready to play sports,” according to the Texas Tribune.

Can anyone imagine such a blanket statement coming out of New Jersey in a couple weeks, or even months?

For now, the impact of the coronavirus in many southern states is just a ripple compared to the tsunami here. That might change.

But the importance of football won’t. They always say the four seasons in the South are winter, spring, summer and football. You think they’re going to postpone their favorite time of year because people up here aren’t ready to play ball?

Yeah. Not a chance.

College football might become a coronavirus ‘culture war’ -- with Rutgers caught in the middle

Yeah would’ve been a horrible fit here and he’s not the type of guy our players would’ve responded to. Doubt the rutgers players will for long. Maybe a year or two but he’s a nasty guy

No!!! We were a dumbas*ed redneck fanbase for ever even THINKING we could do better than Shiano!

How dare you question the media!

Freaking asshat!

We have to beat FL this year.

Under rated post

Does it matter? Talent is talent.

It’s not a bad class but like I said I’ll consider them elite when they aren’t pulling all their players from within 10 miles of campus.

Don't try to make me like Rutgers
