We don't need a separate thread on recruiting; just sticky a list of recruits similar to the original post in this thread and allow one, and only one, person to keep it up to date.
Btw, imo Mordecai should get billing in the title of this thread.

Perhaps I’m alone here, but I much prefer the single thread. Trying to follow all the movements across too many individual recruit threads leads to a lot of missed info if you aren’t on here or twitter all day long. Threads get buried arvbe bottom and missed.

I think this running story of our recruiting season is great. Now, bring the vitriol!
This is the general recruiting thread. People end up cross discussions in multiple threads anyway so it always devolves into one big thread.

There is a recruiting sub forum in the sports forum...all some lazy ass mod has to do is change the bame to 2020 instead of 2019...or....gasp....just name it the recruit forum. Have the individual player threads there, and leave threads like this, in the general chat for general discussion.

This ain't rocket surgery yall :lol:

Agree - and the same take on multiple threads and Twitter reposts everywhere. Pass.

My bad. I thought you meant Natty’s.
Oh and I did google the Natty one. The other coach in recent times to win a Natty in Y2 besides Urbs was, of all people, Gene Chizik. Forgot all about him.
Yeah Chizik was just along for the ride. Malzahn won that.

That scUM coach?

Did we just get a non smurf DB flip?


Yeah always good to pound on those vols in recruiting. Looks like Mordecai McDaniel is a track star too. Winning the 55 meter in the DC area is no small feat. I was feelin pretty glum about our recruiting about a month ago but I'm liking what Mullen is bringing.

Day and Lincoln Riley.

Ogre.

Even Shart and Richt (I think?).

The list would be pretty long if we kept going.
Day and Riley walked into the easiest possible circumstances. They could be the next Larry Coker’s for all we know. Basically doing what should have happened here post Spurrier and Meyer if it wasn’t for an inept AD.

This thread is a disaster for those of us that don't follow recruiting on a daily basis.....What is it gonna take to get a special section even if it's just season say Dec.-Feb.???
Good God shut the hell up. I did it last year and I as knew it would, NO ONE LOOKS AT IT. Not worth the effort.

Yeah, Day and Riley got the same great setup that Kelly and Fisher had at Oregon and FSU.

I’d feel a lot better about safety if Gray was doing the coaching and developing.

Also, out of 24 commits 7 are out of our recruiting radius.

2 DC/VA area
2 Texas
1 LA
1 Australia
1 Connecticut

We need a presence in that VaBeach area and Texas/LA. Connecticut is an oddball and Australia is where you go to get punters not named Townsend. So not too upset with the distribution compared to the Cali farce. But we also don’t know how much effort was put outside of FL and SoGA

BS.....go back and read how every member that has posted in this thread has mentioned it...
Perhaps you missed all the people that prefer the single thread.

We've experimented with other formats, and they do not work. Simply read this thread every day and you'll be 100% up to date.

P.S. - Donkey, you complain one more time about transfer threads you get two years off. Tired of listening to it.

I see you put about as much effort into recruiting as some of this staff...…I avoid this thread because it's like having your eyes gouged out....a bunch of loose thoughts and unsubstantiated claims...It's like slave labor in a third world sweat shop just to see who we've got so far.

To be fair, the threads were created basically after they signed.

no real good way to organize a recruiting thread(s). Maybe allow separate threads for trending issues and then merge when resolved. Honestly, right now no one is really talking about just a few guys. So maybe a thread for the weekend visitors that can be merged Monday.

Biggest issue is the BS in the thread that’s not even FB related
