Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rich Rod hasn't exactly gotten a lot of his players drafted right?

I didn't check the tenures, but I'm seeing 11 WVU players in the NFL.

There are 34 from UT, for comparison.

The ones that matter like White and Slaton did. If he can get that type of combo at Michigan, their offense will be able to score enough to win every game in the Big 10. Devine is also a stud.

White looks like he will never be more than a Wildcat QB and Slaton is having one helluva sophomore slump.

Let's wait and see on those two.

I remember seeing that White looked like the best quarterback at the combine. Couldn't be any worse than Stafford has been.

Has Steve Slaton been playing injured? For some reason I thought he was.

Anyways... I didn't think the statement was about producing good NFL players. Just NFL players in general. Either way, White and Slaton on any given day could torch anyone in college football. If Rich Rod gets two players like that again, they will eat the Big 10 alive. Big 10 right now isn't any better than the Big East was when Slaton and White were there. The Big East then was probably actually better than the Big 10 now... maybe lol.

Not possible. It was Freeman that everyone was drooling over anyway.

My point was that for all of the hype Rich Rod got, he never won anything of note (besides a barnburner of a Sugar Bowl against a slightly overrated UGA team) and his players haven't done much at the next level...further proving that the spread is a much less viable offense to use with the recruiting tool of "I will make you a boatload of money in the NFL". Which is what Kiffin can promise.

What about the Sugar Bowl against OU? He wasn't coaching that game but it was his team.

Probably not easy to recruit to West Virginia and the Big East. Also, they were both rated three stars. Rich Rod had to find diamonds in the rough because it pry wasn't easy to recruit there at all.

Not much of an opinion because one has gotten a bit more snaps than the other. Many NFL teams wanted him as a WR, if that tells you anything.

Okay... well, if you read the article an NFL assistant coach said White looked the best. White did in fact look the best on a lot of occasions. I am not going to argue about this because I offer proof and you shoot it down basically saying your opinion is held to a higher regard. I don't know how NFL coaches opinions are "not much of an opinion". You should apply to be a scout or GM. :eek:k:

I hate this argument..."well you should be a scout".

There are a lot of teams whose scouting blows. I'm just going by what I've seen on the field (in pads and not at the combine).

One has 4 wins under his belt, the other is only a backup after the starter went down. 3 QBs also went in the first round last year. White was not one of them...that should tell you how sought after he was.

Besides all that coach said was that he looked good that day...nothing more. (Including no mention of him being the best QB in the draft). It was Banks who said he impressed more than anyone else...and I trust my own judgement over Banks'.

Another gem out of Banks from that article:
-- Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman was thought to be someone who could really improve his draft projection based on his throwing session, but he was erratic in the drills and probably did nothing to help himself crack the first round.

Freeman, if I'm not mistaken, was indeed drafted in the first round ahead of White.
