Coleman's team are pros obviously.
Pretty sure Techportalinsights forecasted Coleman to Tech over what was said to be the greatest steak dinner in history. But that was after aggyportalinsights forecasted Coleman to A&M following Coleman's visit to Reveille's gravesite where he broke down in tears and tore his clothes and vowed revenge.

Jordan Washington playing at 265 was asinine. Having YAC guys like Townsend and Winston gain 30 lbs in their first offseason here was stupid too
Kyle Flood's fetishes are infected the program.
Huh? By all means, let's throw out a bunch of 210 lb tight ends because they are good after the catch. They will be able to keep up with all of those 210 lb defensive ends screaming off the edge.

So reading the tealeaves on Coleman - If he wants to play with someone who is going to get him to the next level in his final season, his choices are:
Arch Manning in Sark's offense with weapons around him
Marcel Reed in first time play caller Holmon Wiggin's offense with no weapons around him
Brendan Sorsby in second year playcaller Mack Leftwich's offense in the B12
First year starter Keelon Russell in Deboer/Grubb's offense with less weapons around him
To me the choice seems fairly obvious unless he just wants to be home in Alabama, but I doubt that is the case.

I think our portal strategy for this year was clear, and I think the results of that strategy are also very clear. From the looks of it Sarkisian was banking on all of the coaching turnover and churn shaking out some legit stars into the portal. While not a terrible thought, I think it was a miscalculation as to how hard schools will fight to keep those guys with new incoming coaching staffs desperate to start off well. To make it worse, we went after other schools in our stratosphere of spending in Michigan, Florida, etc. Just like we overspent to keep Worthy here and tell USC to go fuck off, I am sure these other schools did the same just to set an example. Clearly this did not work and now we are scrambling.

Or is that not allowed? The strategy of cutting dudes loose, hoping to sign someone better, seems reckless.
That is a slippery slope and not a narrative that you want to have to overcome when recruiting high school players.

16 minutes ago, Newy25 said: We currently have nine scholarship linemen including Robertson. Typically we are carrying 13-15 scholarship linemen. That means we need to retain Robertson plus land both guys we have an offer to plus sign two more players to get to 13.
Maybe in the portal era you can argue it’s more like a pro system and you carry less players at the position but 11 seems like a very low number for a pipeline of player development.
If that is truly their plan, then they would need to go huge in this next recruiting cycle at OL. I think it would be a mistake, but what portal OL wants to come to a school knowing he will be a backup?

Maybe you could write up how you would present this really unique point of view into a sales presentation and we can have our NIL folks on this thread forward to Moncrief? Powerpoint is probably best.

Nope, they still think that he is a championship QB. In fairness, he was able to cobble together a 10 win season, but he gets exposed against good defenses. They are in the same echo chamber as A&M regarding their QB. The stats don't really tell the whole story.

Interesting. Would that make it the Mendoza line?
