I wish there was some level of transparency so we could know which bag-hunters were worth it and which ones were busts. Like Nico isn't looking great right now, Walter Nolen was worth it, Jaden Rashada lmao
Baby Beam has lapped mid name kelly Kevin Wynn was the only kid I wanted us to keep in the class....nice pull
meh he's a dime a dozen in the southeast and honestly if we never sign a heritage kid again that's fine by me
we need a RB that can carry a team by himself with little to no blocking help or any passing threat I doubt that exists.....and if it does it isnt a HS kid
Oh wow, I see the haters and losers—of which there are many—are all coming out of their shanties to chime in.
Billy may not be able to coach, scheme offense, call plays, make quality hires, organize practice, speak at the podium, or pull off a skin fade haircut very well. But one thing he is surprisingly good at is identifying quality talent in lower-ranked running backs.
He could’ve taken a “mid RB” from any last place team. You still have to know what you want to steal.
I just find it funny all these teams that seem to be planning to build rosters through the portal. This portal cycle is going be insanely competitive/expensive with all the rev share dollars, the success of some portal heavy teams, and bunch of rich programs desperate(uf, usc, Michigan, ou etc). This is not going be two years ago where there was a money ball aspect to being heavy in the portal imo. Abandoning hs recruiting seems dumb dumb to me.
No one is willingly abandoning high school recruiting. High school recruiting is abandoning some programs though.
ignoring you posted this with a Caleb Downs avatar were you asleep for Nick Saban's retirement fallout?
There’s that too and with the covid kids running out, + rev share I think this portal is going be a big disappointment too.
Coaches are always going to retire, quit, get fired, etc. Maybe I’m just misremembering, because all I remember is some shit stick on twitter posting about how wild the portal was going to be and it was kind of a letdown. edit: maybe this is what I was thinking of. May all of your best players transfer to the bucks
fsu learned the hard way that taking the players uga and bama were willing to lose isn’t a good strategy
There was a small flurry of activity when Harbaugh and Saban left their respective gigs but yeah I remember seeing from multiple sources that there was going to be chaos...yeah some guys left but I felt like it was a let down as well
Think both of you are remembering the ON3 fuckboys saying the spring portal was gonna be groundbreaking and nothing happened The winter portal was pretty insane
Small school studs > big school castoffs at least that’s how it worked here. Well besides Jermaine Johnson but he was also both a small school stud and a big school castoff
