I just saw a tweet by alderman saying that 247 is about to update the rankings again. This is honestly like the fourth or fifth time in the last 6 to 8 weeks. It’s utterly ridiculous.

Is 247 updating their rankings or the composite? Of course the composite would change every time one of the underlying services update.

I dont want Muschump TYPE recruiting, but Chump and Company could go head to head w Trailerbammer or anyone else and win half, even with wide receivers, QBs too, not just defense.

As long as we recruit type MOSTLY Kentucky athletes were going to be Kentuckyish.
which WRs and QBs did muschamp win a battle with bama for?

there's nothing normal about losing five kids from February to August.

EDIT: six

I know that Slevin declared that that was false, in this very thread, somewhere, coz twitter, but, you know, the facts still exist despite his declaration.

Three non-quals is what I'm talking about. No one thought the Visa issue would take this long, and I'm not laying future behavior at the feet of a coach unless the writing was on the wall and we knew we were taking a major risk. Three guys were what I'd consider a roll of the dice. That's more than normal but not some incredible, unheard of stat. It was/is painted that way because of the two behavior cases in the Spring.

Donk, why not stop with "CDM has yet to prove that he can win at the highest level"?
The comparison with Kentucky is unwarranted. This past year we lost to LSU and UGA. Kentucky lost to USCe, UT, MSU, UGA, and UF. Their Rivals recruiting ranking is up to 15th and ours is 7th. The comparison isn't valid. It discrrdits your standing as a knowledgeable football poster.

Fishing from the same low 4 star and 3 star well.

We are fighting Kintucky for Beckwith as we speak.

You can go look at the elite WRs, QBs and RBs.

I dont have time right now. Obviously, Im not saying he developed them, just that he landed them.

I did a Google search on recent head to head recruiting wins against Alabama/uga/Lsu/OhSt and it gave me this list.

Emory Jones
Copeland
K Elam
Bogle
Zipperer
Diabate
Humphries
Braun
Dexter
J Lee
X Henderson

Did I type something wrong?

Plan Zs for Bammer. Braun, Dexter and Elam were the only commitable offers, guys they truly wanted.

Maybe Bogle but I doubt it. Rumors were they were offering him a grayshirt like that other DE a few years back that chose them over us even though they had no slot.

Ahh. So Bogle was committed to them but they were only offering a gray shirt. Same with Jones and Ohio State. And nobody really wanted Xzavier Henderson or the other guys either. Got it.

No, Jones was a a great commit, no doubt,a that was all Mullinz.

Henderson, I'm not that excited about Henderson, frankly, but obviously other people were recruiting him. (I felt the same about EJ Smith.)

The problem isnt the three or four at the top the problem is the 11 or 12 in this class that are rated 5.8, which equals borderline 3 star. These are all the plan D's, the quality leftovers. we need to win a lot more at the top end and a lot less of these leftovers.

No one's afraid of this roster. no one at Alabama or Georgia or LSU is losing sleep.

Maybe we're good enough that we don't need a last minute come from behind to beat Kentucky this time. Maybe.

Saban went hard for Perine, although he was late to the party.

But to be clear, is there anything that refutes my original claim that this class does indeed have "good players", and more than last year's, and even more than 2018's, which when included with the gains in the portal, implies progress from where we were two years ago?

For those of you who hate Grantham, seems like its only the fans and would cut pretty deep with our recruits and players

Players loved Zook and WM too. I get that turnover in any capacity will have its negatives. But the right hire would immediately heal any potential wound.

And honestly, that's the first time I've heard any kid, player or recruit, mention anything about TG's impact on them, which says a lot since he's applied for or been rumored to about 7 jobs over the past 24 months.

Donk makes some good points on occasion but he overwhelms them with a plethora of stupid ones. Many of which are on display in this thread. It is funny how his list of repeated sayings has shrunken dramatically as he continues to be proven wrong. Do not hear much about 0-8 or losing records in the SEC or can not land 5 stars any more.
