    If it makes you feel better, I've been following recruiting for years and I still have no idea how to judge HS players by their HUDL highlights.

    Everyone's talking about flexibility, vision, explosiveness, etc. and I'm just thinking "cool, he scored a TD he must be awesome."

    That's not how following recruiting works, you are supposed to throw out things like, He has elite athleticism, size/speed/vision you can't teach. Then you have to compare him to a guy who played in the league anywhere from the mid 90's to late 2000's.

    QB-Texas

    RB-Texas

    WR-Texas

    OL-Texas

    TE-Push. Neither has anybody that's proven.

    DL-Texas. Madubuike is a stud but I wouldn't take any of their other DL. This is probably the one aggys disagree with most because they think lard-ass Bobby Brown is going to be an All-American. 

    LB-Who knows? Both are a weakness/lack depth.

    DB-Texas

    FG Kicker-Texas

    Punter-A&M

     

    they don't care cuz "they got Jimbo!"

    Not sure what he's getting at here. Guess he's taking a shot at Coburn or Jamison. Sterns was FR All-American and Thorpe finalist so not sure a high schooler should really be talking shit, even if he is ranked like Evans. 

     

    Anyways, guess we can consider that bridge burnt. Something had to have happened with Evans behind the scenes. 

    So the kid who plays on a stacked high school team, and hasn't competed against college aged kids, is calling out athletes who have played against and beaten top 10 ranked college football teams for as he said they "don't play at all"?

    Some of these kids definitely need a reality check, especially since all it takes is for a freak misstep and you tear your achilles and end your career. Especially considering the fact that they haven't faced a team that has division 1 talent on the entire roster before and are playing against athletes who probably aver 6'1" 180 lbs, as opposed to college athletes where that is considered tiny.

  5. I like shitting on aggy as much as the next guy, but seriously, how in the fuck did teh 12th man douche get drafted but Dodson didn't? From what I saw of their games, Dodson was a legitimately good player, and gillaspia seemed to just run in the direction of the play and sometimes get in the way of a defender.

  6. I was hoping they would pick up Dodson when he was sliding, he would have been a great get in the 7th round over that 12 man kid, that pick just doesn't make sense to me. I don't care that he is an aggy, I care that he would have been an easy UDFA pickup, and instead we wasted a pick on him.

  7. I only ever worked with 1 Delta operative. It was while in Afghanistan, he was one of the coolest, and most chill dudes I'd ever been around in my time in the Army. very knowledgeable and professional, my former PL was a friend of his from their time in SF, and they fucking hated SEALS. Everyone in the vicinity will know when a SEAL is near, because like aggys they will be sure to let everyone know what they are.

  8. People can bitch about losing out on McCoy and Sanders all they want, the biggest recruiting loss this cycle to me will continue to be Bragg. We have not landed true "potential" all conference interior lineman in forever, and he was an admitted lifelong fan and we just couldn't close.

    Hey, don't blame our loving and beloved Dark Lord for Trump. It's the Christians who voted him in!

    This is one of the most revelatory posts I have seen on the Surl, like my mind is blown.

    Let me preface this post by saying that I was just as pissed as anybody, and I have zero faith that this team will turn it around and win more than they lose this year.  But I also went on record with an 8-4 season and I won't  believe that this team is trending in the right direction until right after the scoreboard clicks zero on their 9th regular season win of the year.  Doesn't look like that will be this year.

    But I like Dan's answer and, as a fan, I like and respect Dan.  After listening to Herman yesterday, I somewhat understand what he is dealing with, and that it isn't an easy fix.  This team has no idea how to win.  Had they been matched up against a team like Northwestern State, they could have made all of the same errors they made against Maryland and still won easily.  Maryland has enough talent to make them pay for mistakes, so they tried to eliminate all of the mistakes, which made them play tight.

    I'm about to lose all of the non-golfers here, but to take it away from football and to something that I understand, think about how trying to play perfect on a golf course affects your game.  It is never good.  Pressing leads to bad shots, which leads to poor decisions, which leads to more bad shots and more bad decisions.  It is a vicious cycle and leads to a score card that gets thrown in the trash.  The best golf is played when you truly learn to focus on the one shot you can take at a time.  The last shot is over, and you don't know what the next shot will be until this one has landed.  Most of the time when I ignore the score card and enjoy the game, I end up with a score I am proud of at the end of the day.

    This is longer than I usually post, and may be just as useless to you as Dan's analogy.  But I look at the Maryland game as one that the players (just like the fans) know that they should win, and every mistake gets them further from that goal and makes them press harder, leading to more mistakes like my shot analogy above.

    I think this thing will take time to fix and switching players / coaches / philosophies creates more variables rather than building a solid baseline.  Somehow we have to get to a solid baseline of winning more than we lose.

    I definitely see what you are saying there. A lot of what I am feeling is that Herman is a victim of playing favorites, and saying one thing but doing another, I feel like these are most evident with Sam and Porter, hell even with Andrew Beck not that he's been particularly bad but more so just meh. If what you are preaching is that you are bring a winning or championship culture, then he needs to cut out the sentimentality and favoritism. I get it, Sam has a likable story to him with him being a local kid and with his dad passing, but what has he done to prove that he is the leader of this team? I'm okay with him as the starter, if the game-plan is to run the ball alot allowing receivers to get open opening up the passing game, but based on saturday that isn't what this team is doing. Even if you look at the offense before they fell behind midway in the second, there was not a concerted effort to run the ball.

    I mean the Sam issue is an entirely different can of worms and the subject of many threads.   At the end of the day they chose him as the starter.  It isn't like Shane's limitations aren't obvious and the other option are true freshman, so yeah, for 8th year in a row we don't have a clear cut QB.  That will clearly play out over the year with the new RS providing additional intrigue as FR may get a shot they wouldn't otherwise, but I think it would have been a 'panic' move to name Sam your starter and bench him game 2.    On your other points, you think we should have benched Collin for the entire game for a rules violation?  There may very well have been a consequence for CJ, we don't know, but I can only fathom the backlash (and rightfully so) if we would have benched our most talented WR because of that.

    Alot of this just has to do with being frustrated. I get tired of the rhetoric that we hear from this staff about so and so player has progressed so much, and so and so has become such a great leader.

    This staff and team is so inept, that they can't follow the uniform rules, they can't think of any other play to run on 3rd and other than a WR screen that hasn't worked all day, and they can't even come out and play like a team that wants to be there?

    For fucks sake they are lucky to not have been blown out by a team that has two QBs who are coming off of major knee surgery, had a player get killed in a team workout, whose program has been in headlines all summer, had their head coach suspended and will likely be fired, with an interim head coach who got fired at LSU because the offense was worse than usual, not to mention that this team fucking embarrassed you last year at home!

    Am I over reacting? Yes, and I know I am, but at least I act like I give a damn about the program, instead of Coach Mensa, who wants to tell me that the team was trying too hard and that's why they lost.
