And law was calling him treon 0.5 lol. Treon couldn't throw it 40 yards in the air with a crow hop. Dont believe? Rewatch the end of the LSU game.

Bama has now offered Toney. McElwain ahead of the curve again?

Of course. He's the greatest evaluator in all of college football.

I sense a bit of sarcasm in your post...

We got Clayton who ended up being a 5* because Mac saw the potential and he was in on Perine early as well. We will have to see how these guys and Trask pan out, but there is something to be said for the fact that the other schools are offering the kids after Mac does.

He may be a very good evaluator of talent. But he reached a lot last year at the beginning of the year.

This year's class has begun very solid. I don't know anything about this kid but the other 4 recruits are all very good recruits. As opposed to this time last year…

It seems in the last few weeks we have really been focusing on the DT position with Rumph on the trail. LB still seems to be a barren wasteland.

Another thing that I like that they're doing is that although they are focusing on big fish such as Grimes, Peoples-Jones, and Robinson, they are still evaluating and offering lower tier WR prospects. That way if we strike out we still have solid players coming in.

Yes...sarcasm. I imagine if you go look at every SEC recruiting class you will find a handful kids just like those on our roster. I think McElwain and the staff is trying hard and hopeful that this year's class pays dividends. There are far too many misses and holes to sit here and act like because we pulled a Trask or whomever that we have this rock-star coach that knows something other coaches don't know. It's silly. Basically you're implying that if we offer a kid before an Alabama or Ohio State does that we got the jump...because we're so much better at evaluating talent. There's a lot that goes into making an offer to a kid, and sometimes that includes taking a kid who is considered a risk by most top P5 schools (such as Trask).

Yep. You have to believe in your ability to evaluate to take a Perrine early or a Trask at all.

I see your point and I'm not saying Mac is some magical coach at evaluating 3* talent. We certainly had some misses and it is going to impact our defense in 2017. That said... I do like that he recognizes these guys early. Trask definitely is a risk, but he was very early on Clayton who ended up being a 5*.

The overall point was that so many people complained about Toney because he was a 3*, but now that Bama has offered him, they might have a different opinion.

Agreed here. I like Trask as well. And I hope Toney's commitment sticks.

Rivals or 247?


my count is a little different ahhh well here it is:

Rivals:
Trevon Grimes
Shaun Wade
James Robinson
DPJ (he really does have interest in UF)
Calvin Ashley
Jarez Parks
Devon Hunter


24/7
pretty much the same except add Alex Leatherwood.

 

[T REX]

247:
Trevon Grimes - OSU 92%, UF 8%
Shaun Wade - says he committed to OSU
James Robinson - 53% Clemson, 46% UF
DPJ (he really does have interest in UF) - Mich 41%, UF 8%
Calvin Ashley - Auburn commit
Jarez Parks - 100% UF
Devon Hunter - 85% VT, 14% Clemson, UF 0%

Bama is in 27 of the top 50 kid's top 5. OSU was in 17 then the site froze up.

It is scary that we are on only 5 kids radars. Anyone who can't see that recruiting is in major major trouble just doesn't want to hear the god forsaken truth.

Oh wait, stars don't matter. I keep forgetting.

Because someone is committed that means we aren't in the running?(seeking clarification) I don't go by CB percentages as they are wrong quite often. Just me personally though...don't care if you go by them.

 

[Rentmoneygawd]

As a matter of fact I will use a recent example...Go to 247 and look at Demetris Robertson's CB percentages lol. Let me know how that worked out

 

[Rentmoneygawd]

I sound stupid... yet you said "in the running for" not favored.

LOL

Stars don't matter dude. And sure, some kids switch here and there but you are off your rocker if you think that Mac and Co are doing well on the recruiting trail.

Point out where I said we were doing well...Oh wait...you can't because I didn't say it. I simply named people that we were "in the running" for (not favored). Don't see where all of the hostility came from lol.

Cool. I'm glad you agree recruiting isn't where it needs to be. I hope Mac can turn it around.

I wish you were our recruiting coordinator, busting the coaches balls 24/7 to do their jobs better - I really do, as you will never be satisfied. And while that's annoying as ****ing hell, it would serve a recruiting coordinator well.
