    Two years of not building relationships with individual players. Who’s being obtuse?

    Your theory is that Georgia is clean and the reason they landed an unheard of transition class is because Smart "had a much stronger foothold" in the SEC than Nick Saban. Yeah, ok.

    If you can’t see the difference between recruiting for Alabama one day and jumping to Georgia the next compared to a coach coming off a two year NFL gig, I’m sorry for the life struggles you experience on a daily basis.

    Are you being obtuse or did you forget Saban was the coach and won a championship at LSU? The SEC landscape didn't dramatically change in 2 years.

    Georgia has never had trouble recruiting and Smart had a MUCH stronger foothold in the area for recruiting than Saban did when comparing their first year.

    Saban was pretty damn familiar with SEC territory when he took the Alabama job.

    This is an about-face from what everyone was saying after the 2018 class ended. The 2019 in-state D-line class is a lot stronger than the 2018 one. You can't go 0/4 on Leal, Stripling, Mowry, and Osafo-Mensah and then blame the state for not producing enough blue-chips especially when A&M had no problem getting two of those four in the fold and leads for a third. 

    If your list is only 4-deep in the entire state, then it's not a good year for the D-Line. I don't know what your measurement standard is, but I know you love your 9.95ers and ranking-wise this years class isn't really all that better than last year.

    Oh stop it. I'm not worried about mensah, he is not much of a loss IMO. Mowry and Stripling were aggies all along, Mowry is a stud but Stripling is meh. Leal was all aggie but gave us a shot, we could not connect though.

    Satyanash is being is usual weenie self, but nobody thought Leal was "all aggy" until after he committed. Stop the nonsense.

    We kinda need some short, fat guards... Robinson is Preston's cousin so I doubt that recruitment would have gone anywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised if we pick up some interior OL with similar profiles later in the cycle.

    Short OLs get moved to the inside because that's the only place they can play, that doesn't mean being short is a requirement.

    We don't need short anything, we just need good players. If Hand could take all 6'5  guys, he would.

    I am sure like basketball some stupid shit goes down.  But these trainers can use these higher profile recruits who can't pay to draw in some that can.  These guys don't stop working with the higher level recruits when they sign at a college.  Some keep working through college and some even if they are pros.  They probably also have facilities where athletes can train if they are in town.  

    That was as non cynical an answer I can give.  

    Basketball, Fifa, and everything I know about sports makes me know at my core they are getting paid though probably. Whether it be shoe Companies, coaches, universities or boosters.  

    It's basically the individual version of what schools like IMG do. There's some money in it, but yeah, it would be foolish to think there weren't other forms of cash flow too.

    With a name like that he should be in aggy's calculator.

    Well, that's not how you spell his name. Combine that with them putting Crandall in East Texas and OB is living up (down?) to their shit standards.

    Baylor tried that line of recruiting. "Son, do you like white girls?" I forgot which one of their disreputable assistants said that to which recruit.

    Baby Briles

    To QB Shawn Robinson if I recall correctly. Wrong kid to do that to, Robinson is a pretty clean cut kid, Baylor was out of that recruitment right then and there.

    its my belief that information and data isnt constant; that once it was all but guaranteed he was going to be admitted to Stanford that it would be hard for him to pass up. Maybe just maybe when the information was passed along to Nahlin they were unsure of the status of Stanford's admissions and were just as surprised as we all are that he was going to be admitted which changed how he felt about Stanford.

    if you can't accept that an 18 yo can change his mind when new info comes to light - maybe reading Recruiting information this early in the recruiting season isn't in your best interest

    I feel like if admission to Stanford automatically meant that he was going there, then there should have been a cap on the optimism.

    WR, it's not just IT thinking we rushed our offer blitz - Caldwell seems like a pretty solid offer and (ironically on this page) I generally trust Washington's MO. Not sure why that's a problem.

    It's a weak year at CB, I have no problem moving on to Caldwell, especially if you think some funny business is going on with Banks. Go ahead and cut your losses quickly.

     

    But Texas is deep at WR every year and we are in it on some OOS guys too. Obviously we aren't armed with all the information, but it does seem like we moved down our board too quickly,

    Re Demani Richardson: TFB is saying that someone in his corner who really doesn't want him to flip from A&M, which is why his plans to visit keep falling through.

    I moved on from him a long time ago.

    This was an all time great performance by LeBron, but it was not a 1v5. The Cavs got a 20-10 from Love, and quality contributions from Nance.

    You can play semantics, his team still blows.

    He's the best defensive player in the league, and he had 13 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, and 2 blocks tonight. But please, continue.

    It's easier to play great defense when you don't have to worry about scoring at all. Draymond does not need to score for that team, no offensive burden means more energy for defense.  He's a good player, but he wouldn't be able to do what he does now for any other team.

     

  13. Higgins is using us as his backup school imo. I don't mind keeping the seat warm in case Stanford doesn't work out for him, but I wouldn't waste any resources on him that could be better used elsewhere, like our last few OVs this summer.

    The staff is handling this right, they had him for an unofficial, but they rebuffed his attempt to get an OV and have offered several other WRs in the last week or two.

    So EJ now has UT picks in for Smith, Anderson, Ellis, Powell and Wright. Um.

    EDIT: Also Tongue

    The moment he hears anything that's not complete sunshine from any of them he will immediately change the picks. 

    His CBs have been even more useless than usual this cycle, and I didn't even think that was possible.

    Wth does he mean by “rising seniors”?

    It means a junior going into their senior year.

    People use it during the spring/summer to differentiate between players who are going to be seniors and players who are seniors right now and are about to graduate.

    Lulz. I'm not authorative about shit. But if you write enough in a declarative manner, people will believe you for whatever reason.

    Human nature. People tend to follow whoever is the most confident, not whoever is the most correct.
