Recruiting results and Chip Kelly comments

[bigorangepoppa]

We’ve had rival programs negative recruiting against us for literal years now telling recruits, their families and their coaches that we’re getting the death penalty and to stay far away from us. That’s not something that goes away overnight. Plus, I feel like a lot of the college football world is waiting to see if we’re for real or not because a lot of people think last year was a fluke. It’ll work itself out we just have to give it time.

Yeah,and now they're telling them that the offense Tennessee runs doesn't translate to the NFL, and I would imagine they are using other things as well, such as how much time the defense will have to be on the field because of the quick strike capability of the offense.

Win ball games. Recruit better athletes. Win Conference Championships. Recruit even better athletes. Win Nattys. Ten guys drafted every year. Recruits commit to your school. Your assistant coaches get poached for head coaching jobs. Highly talented coaches replace those that advance. NIL money keeps coming. Win more ball games. Sign more 5Stars. It is all a process. This model works until coach loses control and the inmates start running the asylum. Anyone have a better model for college football success?

But according to Kelly, NIL negates all that. I thought we had one of the best NIL collectives in the country. The current rankings certainly do not indicate this to me.

How have those recruiting rankings worked out for Texas A&M so far? Also, Oregon made the national championship game twice in 5 years with their highest recruiting ranking being #9 over that span. Most of that time they were in the low teens, and as low as 32. Player development is more important than recruiting rankings.

If you say so.

I participate in the collective but my understanding is we aren't anywhere near the top. Not sure if applicable but some schools have supporters who could give billions and never miss the money. Oregon has at least two such supporters....Phil Knight and Steve Ballmer.

If any of those teams listed won the championship this year it wouldn’t be a big shock. Well maybe Fla. but they are recruiting well.
some things never change.

It has all cone down to who can out SMU of the 80’s now; now that doing (the) SMU is legal.

We are 10th on 247 but our player average is 6th The player average is most important IMO

Tennessee is currently ranked 10th in player average as well. It is shaping up to be a good class regardless.

One school in particular that is recruiting well has a large pot of booster money they are using to rebuild their roster quickly. It will be interesting to see if that runs out suddenly or if the boosters continue to fund it at current levels. It’s a rather large amount so I doubt the boosters can annually contribute that much.

Good class with the right coaching staff.
We're great.
Could be better, but still great.
