[SaltGator]

Napier is visiting Shemar James today as well as Evers, according to TOS. He will have done more recruiting in two days than we have done in months.

So CBN in his intro presser waves off making stars a part of the recruiting equation that its all about EVALUATION and then I look and it seems like EVERY recruit he's talked to so far is 4 & 5 stars. Am i missing something? Or was that smoke being blown up my nether regions....

Contrary to popular belief, there are in fact really good players at the 4 & 5 star level

He said it was not about STARS...It was about TALENT and team FIT. Here's a thought...They evaluate

Okay, apparently they are EVALUATING 4 and 5 star talent for fit. Got it.

 

[TaterGator]

It's a numbers game...Like he said, "If you can't find 25..."

At this rate, if he only gets 5% of his targets we'll be fine. Gotta love the energy.

That's why I love the hire. Sales is a numbers game as much as it is believing in what you have to offer, and a good character is the lock down. This dude is going to absolutely kill it here.

You're disappointed in this?

PaulDrake is reasonable when he's on his medication; when he misses a dose it's immediately obvious.

CBN is gonna fuchs around and build a powerhouse, isn't he?

Well to be fair to his predecessor, recruiting season just started.......

Ox I'm NOT disappointed....I'm pleasantly surprised. This is is excellent news. I was just saying he may have been somewnat sarcastic in his presser....

So... are you saying there's a chance we might actually recruit DTs and inside LBs again? Wow... I'd almost forgotten what those guys look like in O&B. It's been so long...

He was just making a general point that stars don't mean everything - only asshat fans freaked out over it. Sub-4 star players often turn out great and 4's and 5's often turn into busts. The guy knows damn well what the recruit quality expectations are at UF.

Some of you really do seem to believe that dialect = intelligence.

i hope he fuchs around finds out

This is the kind of sarcasm I live for.
