Agree. It's time we catch a break and start landing more guys that can actually play early. We really need another impact player like Derek Barnett. We get one of those every few years. Bama gets 5 or 6 every year. Looks like Clempson is gong to have several as well.

This program isn't even in the same universe as Bama and Clemson right now, so hoping to have similar recruiting classes is ridiculous.

This staff as shown the ability to recruit good players, and now needs to (1) build depth at key positions, and (2) coach-up the players they've signed.

Its nuts. VQ is melting down as well. It's like people forget injuries are apart of the game. Or that they happen to everyone. Sure it sucks, especially at DL, but geez the meltdowns over a single injury make me wonder how people get through real life. I have zero patience for a weak mindset. Many of our fans need serious mindset work.

We live in a Chicken Little society. Soft, woke, triggered. Everything is a disaster and the sky is always falling. Plus everything is always someone else’s fault.

Spot on. I have said for years that we have some soft fans.

Things happen for a reason. We don’t know severity yet. If it is an acl, the positive is we would have him next season. The problem is we really need him this season but we probably would also really need him the next season for yr 3 Pruitt.

Also never know what % a guy will come back at. Not sure what injuries/surgeries were for with Tuttle & Phillips, but neither seemed to return to previous form.

Nobody has forgotten that injuries are apart of the game. He’s just one of the 5 guys that people feel like we couldn’t afford to lose if we wanted to have a better than expected season. Anybody that freaks out about it isn’t mentally weak. I hope that post made you feel better about yourself, though!

This is a big, big opportunity to get 1% better with mental reps. And when working on our mindset using mental reps, let's focus in on 3 key points:
TOUGHNESS
ACCOUNTABILITY
DISCIPLINE
