  1. It makes you wonder how good the US could be if they had Tata Martinez as their coach.  But no, doesn't speak English so wasn't considered.  USSF Fucktards.  He's so damn good.

    Yes they have 10 teams and 4.5 spots, but look at our top 5 vs their top 7. It isn't worth the extra spot, because we have 15 Cubas making it seem hard to qualify

    15?  Try 35.  There are only about 6 teams in CONCACAF that can ever qualify.  Panama is done for a generation but maybe Canada slots in since they have some nice players but past Mexico, the US, Honduras, Costa Rica, Jamaica when they add a bunch of English born dudes plus 1 more (currently maybe Canada), the rest of the federation is complete dogshit

    Dest is lackadaisical when it comes to defense.

    I think midfield play would be significantly better if Musah was on the pitch. And obviously Adams instead of Acosta would be a significant upgrade.

    Adams would calm things and even with his rust he is Acosta x5.  At some point Aaronson on for Sargent would be interested.  That dude looks lightweight but he always sems to be around the ball in goal scoring situations.  I like him

    Lol. Pulisic being quiet says nothing about Pulisic. CP is 4 times the player Aaronson is and I don't dislike Aaronson. Some of you need to watch more soccer outside of these games. 

    yeah, only way Pulisic comes out is if he gets murdered by a Mexican tackle

    And I was being too hard on Steffen. He's young and talented. My frustration with other shit just bleeds its way into unjustified criticisms sometimes. 

    I like Steffen.  He needs more than 11 games a year though

  6. US doesn't have 3 international level CBs as it is.  With Long and Richards injured, we've got 1.  Can't imagine Miazga is as bad as McKenzie though.  And someone please take Ream out behind the shed and end his misery

    Can you two pedantic erudites take your Stanford academics discussion to the non-UT recruiting thread? Fuck me. We're discussing hair styles, WRs, and retired ballerinas here, for Christ's sake.

    This is what happens when the commit announcements run dry.  Today it's "Stanfraud sucks", tomorrow it'll be "Surly's tips for knitting" and before we know it people will be digging up the German porn classic "Alle männlichen Cheerleader essen Scheiße bei Kyle Field" and holding watch parties.  No one wants this...

    Meh, look at his requirements
    1. Education- Toughest thing about 'furd is getting in.  Its a joke after that.  So strike one
    2. Status of the program- 'furd is heading down down down.  The talent has thinned considerably and the days of 10-2 and competing for the Pac 12 are over. Strike 2
    3. Coaching stability- David Shaw's program playbook is coming undone and he is being exposed for the 2nd rate coach that he is.  When you dont have a McCaffrey or Love and your high end OL recruits "miss" and are average, 30 TEs and a cloud of dust doesnt work so well anymore.  Shaw is gone from 'furd in the next few years IMO.  Strike 3
    This is what I tell myself anyway.  They are still tricking recruits into going there so shame on them.  Fuck Taco Bell U

    I would tend to disagree here, but I have cousin who has been with Stanford about 15 years now, and when asked about this she just gives a smirk and says "Stanford has a great grad program for the most part" Make of that however you want, but she wont discuss undergrad..

    The grad program is outstanding, world class and deserves plenty of respect.  Their undergrad is a morass of grade inflation and entitlement.  Getting a 4.0 at 'furd undergrad consists of having a warm pulse and showing up to most of the classes

    Soooo.... they're doing college football recruiting to one of the most beautiful and prestigious colleges in the country. Got it.

    I'm no fan of Stanford, but David Shaw is hardly a nefarious mastermind. Most people I know that have met him think he's a really impressive person. Program is definitely heading in the wrong direction, though.

    I hate Stanford with the fire of a thousand suns but that sentence was intended as sarcasm.  I have also heard that he is a really nice, good person.  Their campus still looks like Taco Bell had an abortion though so lets knock it off about the "beautiful" nonsense

    I think their in-state rankings are noteworthy since Gerry is probably a large part of them. Of course, he's probably posting his combined in-state with Nahlin soon, which probably more closely reflects his personal rankings than ESPN's

    i suppose that's fair.  In general, I think ESPN's ratings are trash.  Rivals is ok outside of the West Coast, which they largely ignore.  247 is by far the best IMO
