Recruiting 2019 recruiting still Butterslike, #17 class

[TheDouglas78]

Foley failed to see what was happening with Saban and Dabo changing the culture/economics of college football.

i got 6 dislikes for saying our current class isnt going to cut in the long run... ppl hate facts. very sad.

It may be your shoes.

I'm doing the wait and see approach regarding this class before I gripe and complain; however, if either Arkansas, Miss St, Ole Miss, South Carolina or Tenn finish ahead of us in the rankings, then people absolutely should be livid about that. Currently all 5 of these teams have better rankings, which is unfathomable, but that doesn't matter if things improve drastically as we all hope they will.

What services are you using to look at these rankings?
The 24/7 composite is the only one worthwhile.

Additionally, does no one even discuss how many highly rated players are heavy leans to us?

What about FSU's class teetering on the brink of a complete implosion?

How about how Miami's class actually IS imploding. Thanks to us! We took two of their commits at their position of greatest need and they are backfilling with 4th and 5th options.

If you expected this staff to outrecruit Georgia, Bama, Clemson, or tOSU- that is frustration of your own doing.

Sometimes I’ll have a couple of beers and feel ambitious enough to tuck it back and try to ride the big waves.

Keep those beers comin'!

well we remodeled the trophy room. It is nice.
Built an IPF. It is average. Put new styrofoam tile in the coach's drop ceiling, painted a little


unfortunately what has changed is everyone else's facilities. they spent all that ESPN money on building great facilities.

We did too...we’re gonna have a world class softball facility

Oh he for sure saw it ol he just didn’t care to play along. Hence his infamous “we’re not getting into an arms race” comment

24/7 composite is full of garbage ratings in their composite. Which makes them garbage.

He didnt' see it shifting the economic and cultural landscape he just saw them as one offs.

lol

You know A&M is in debt half a BILLION dollars for their stadium right? The one they have trouble selling out?
And that UF is one of the only athletic departments in the entire country that gives back to the University?
That Kentucky sold naming rights to their stadium to effing Kroger a few years ago?

We also have upgraded Gymnastics, Swimming, and Softball facilities after recent national titles.
There's a massive master plan for a football standalone, upgraded stadium facilities, and an entirely new baseball stadium, right?



Dan and Spurrier don't/didn't recruit at an elite level because they just weren't elite recruiters.
That's the reason. It's not because our locker room doesn't have a waterfall.

It seems like the Boosters would have more to say on it.

I can appreciate being conserative with hundreds of millions of dollars when we are all discussing the changing culture and landscape.

I doubt many of these places will see the ROI they anticipated after ticket sales continually decline.

True...it's possible college ball won't be around in another 10-20 years. At least not full contact.

You don't tuck after a few beers and ride the big waves ... you let the big dog out, right?

 

[jgator]

We're looking strong at landing the following:
Steele
Sanders
Hammond
Summerall
Zipperer
Elam
Hunter
Dorlus

All but Elam should be signing early and there are still some out there that have started to give us more consideration like Fuller, Dent, and Pickering that are not signing early. We got that DT from Utah that can't go to bama anymore...don't think we get him but i think that helps us with Pickering...bama probably doesn't have room for him either.

How dare you be reasonable.

I was gonna give you a screenshot of the pet detective tuck scene, but I knew ox would sensor me again. Lol

Jhbyrd, jgator, hmmmmm.

Jjbyrd, jgator, hmmmmm.

Pretty sure most of us have already thought of that, posting style and arguments are similar.

As long as we're number one in All Sports Trophies and debt-service ratio who cares about football recruiting rankings amirite?
