But you don’t care about WR
I dont, not in this offense.

But I do care that we're still whiffing on every top FLA kid and relegated to 3rd or 4th tier kids from Louisisana, Mississippi, GA or the leftovers in Florida.

Those bags are now funding a bloated UAA budget other sports that most people outside of the UAA don't care much about.
I wonder what Bama and UGAs bag budget is and how it’s funded. Saying it’s a couple mil or more a year. That’s a lot of discretionary spending to waste for what I assume is a handful of top boosters.

There’s no budget. I think there’s a constant handing of money off. And some boosters get stupid with over greasing like above.

The game is played how the game is played. We need to step up and start getting the job done again. I for one take no solace in being squeaky clean while getting our heads kicked in by the Bama's of the world.

Wake me up when we actually are trying to compete.

You remember when Urban said about UF, the program is broken, what he meant was our bagmen program was broken and it has not been fixed since.Yes we had bags when he was here but I am pretty sure that our administration told them no more bags.

Really, so Chimp just snuck them in? Even Ole McElstain could land the occasional 5 star. He had bagmen w peanut butter?

Trust the staff Donkey they need extra years to build relationships with coaches in Fl. I'm sure they didn't step foot in Fl the 9 years they were at Miss St. If he hasnt started getting these kids kids in our state by 2028 then we should start to panic but you gotta give him a decade to build relationships in Florida. :heehee:

Christ, these summer re-runs are excruciatingly boring this year
Not as boring as losing to Kentucky and Mizzu at home. That really happened last year and it will keep happening unless something changes. Don't shoot the messengers. BTW, I was the world's biggest pumper in the summer of 2009. What a difference a decade makes.

The only time a messenger should be shot is when, having delivered a pertinent message, he endlessly repeats his same opinion like a broken record, or a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing. At that point the messenger, having fulfilled his mission and having no further apparent use, might cheerfully be disposed of.

People don't like a broken record but I don't think anyone likes a broken record but this staff is a broken record on the trail and the pumpers can't handle it when it keeps being brought up. They just find new excuses left and right.

Part of the missing element in this and most discussions here is a lack of understanding that you can recruit your way into the top 20 or maybe even top 10, but you have to coach or maybe PR you way into the top 5 and maybe even have a bit of good luck.

Even if you can get any player you want you have to get lucky or be more insightful than anyone else in picking the best of the top 5 QBs or best of top 5 RBs etc. in a class. Really you need to be lucky to have the best of the 15 or 20 top five RBs from or the best of the 15 or 20 top five QBs from the last 3 or 4 recruiting years.
