Recruiting 2019 NSD: 4* DE Khris Bogle and 4* CB Elam signs

[BMF]

I think LSU is a prime example to show that's just not gonna cut it. LSU has had classes that range from #2- #12 since Saban took over at Bama yet they've only beat them twice . Saban has had a top 5 class every year since 2009. If UGA keeps recruiting the way they are and we recruit like your saying then were in major major trouble. In order to keep up we have to recruit mostly top 5 classes it's that simple. Bama and UGA are gonna get theirs that seems pretty clear so we have to keep up or we will fall to far behind. I think that's already the case but a top 5 class would help.

Sure, it's going to be hard to beat a team that has 30-40 more blue-chips than you do....and the one's they do have are ranked in the top 100, 200 while most your ours are ranked 200-400.

LSU has had some sh*tty and questionable coaching over the last 8-10 years. Miles went through several OC's and hasn't had a servicable QB in years (much like UF's problems: bad coaching and bad QB play).

I agree w/ you though. It's an uphill battle right now. As I said before, the stench is still fresh on the UF "brand" and it might take a couple of years for Mullen to right the ship.

There's nothing about LSU that's anywhere close to the Clemson model. Their QB situation is and has been for over a decade, much worse than ours as impossible as that seems.

Bingo. Remember we stole Franks from them.

Stole.

Marinate in that for a while.

What an absolutely mind numbing and infuriating comment from Mullen. Everybody was recruiting Tebow and Cam. Just because he lucked out with Prescott, doesn’t mean that’s the way to find players. You don’t go around looking for diamonds in the rough. It’s nice when one falls in your lap, but hope is not a strategy.

 

[rogdochar]

IDK... but QBs Trask & Franks seem hefty enough to bang forward via Mullen-style. Is there evidence that they bruise easily ? Can't they be taught to race their bodies forward toward whatever space is temporarily made & teach them to slant left or right of direct contact = that should work for yards gained as well as keeping the defensive alignment from taking us for granted?? It's my hope DM will achieve that.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Yep. And that's how it begins. It's the "get a grip" and/or "didn't we win the East" mentality all over again.

Sofla is level headed and doesn't overrreact to bad news.

I really don't like to hear the "we are settling for 3 stars because I'm the QB Whisperer" again. We've been down this road.

We were told he only sucked vs SEC teams because he had no talent. Now he's recruiting WORSE than the brand new coach at Cowbell? Yeah.....

Dude, just being 6-4 doesn't make you a power runner.

 

[Ancient Reptile]

Good point. Tebow was only 6' 3".

 

[rogdochar]

Dude, just being 6-4 doesn't make you a power runner.

My post avoided any power runner allusion in that it just said run where a space was made, even temporarily.
I see no reason to assign an automatic fail on these two's effective running ?? Memory reminds me no UF QB has been permitted to run, schemed to run ?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Well, if we use the Clemson model and hang around the 10-15 range in recruiting but get studs at qb and LOS and develop them then we'll be ok, but I'll caveat that by saying that Clemson's offensive scheme is much more dynamic than ours.

And move to a shytty conference where being #15 makes you the second best recruiting class?

Dont forget that critical component.

If you get a couple of those bluechippers banged up, you can probably still beat Duke, Uva and NC State and all the rest of the dung in the ACC.

Try that in the SEC running the SEC gauntlet and you are siting on 3 or 4 losses, bc even the 7-5 teams have some talent.

I think Trask could be a better runner than Leak, but then there's the passing issue. Plus, didn't Trask just come off a season long foot injury?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He has been out the last two years.

Probably fake, just exercising the Crete Clause to get a sixth and seventh year.

I wasnt comparing their Qb situations I was saying that having just a top 10 class yearly is not going to cut it when UGA is out there pulling 5 top 20 players each year and pulling top 3 classes. I was basically saying you need more than just top 10.

 

[Silverback Gator]

CoachDanMullen told me. "It's going beyond that to find who really fits your program."

I don't know what that means. They have identified many that must have fit our program but they committed elsewhere. It cannot be that our culture and systems are so unique.

 

[Omar's Coming Yo!]

Didn't they get curb stomped by freaking Georgia tech lol?

Yes. GT was up 42-20 before MSU scored twice to make it look closer. Losing 49-34

MSU had 600 yards offense to tech's 577

So our coach sees no difference between the accomplishments of Dac Prescott and Tim Tebow. According to him, “they were both very successful quarterbacks”. One won two national championships, two SEC championships and a Heisman Trophy. The other won no championships and was named the MVP of the Belk Bowl and the Liberty Bowl. I fear we’re in big trouble. Seems the man is trying to lower the bar before he even coaches his first game.

And Dak is still enjoying a nice career in Dallas. I'd say that's successful.

 

[JDW]

Dak is also still in the league that’s a different type of success...y’all are going full nuclear when the guy hasn’t even coached a game...calm down ppl

 

[oxrageous]

Yeah, I'm willing to wait until Mullen has coached for at least 30 seconds.
