agree but things aren't sounding super great even in the portal now and that's not a sustainable way to build a program.

We’ve barely started hearing about the portal. And if you don’t want to use the portal, you’re just behind the times. Going to have to get used to it.

Of course this is if we want to compete for championships eventually. If you are happy with 7-5, 8-4 and maybe the occasional 9-3 when the chips fall right then we can probably be at that level doing what we're doing now.

Disappointing class overall. I’ve said that all along. But it’s good enough for what we need this class to be. Next year we’re at the same point then I’ll worry more

Haven't heard much about keionte Scott . I assume he's still heading to AU?

Heard nothing different

Not great. That's a Gus level OL haul.

In my view we don't have a single underclassman on the OL that is SEC caliber.

I get a George Costanza vibe.

Randy does this every year. He pretends like the people in this thread are less than thou because we’re happy about (not enough) 4*’s committing. And then we get his virtue signaling about recruiting he expects but we’ve never witnessed while failing to understand we all eat the same shite sandwich. We don’t control this shite

We know we’re a decade behind Bama, UGA, and A&M’s recruiting. Sorry for partying

Jonesy you're the man but there people in here who will try to spin it like recruiting rankings are overrated blah blah blah and then they are the same ones that melt to all hell every Saturday and want every coach fired because the plays they are calling don't work with seemingly zero ability to understand that no plays work when the other team is vastly more talented at every single position.

This board is much better than ITAT used to be in that regard and more people are catching on that's recruiting is 85% of the game these days but they are still out there.

Tate Johnson - Offers from GT, BC, Cincy
Avery Jernigan - Offers from FSU, UK, Louisville, Nebraska
Kieondre Jones - Bama, Florida, MSU, Arkansas
Cort Bradley - No impressive offers
Colby Smith - Tennessee
Brady Ward- Ole Miss, Bama, Arkansas , UF


You’re probably also one that thought Bobo wasn’t SEC caliber until he went to UGA

I missed it, but Jayden Gibson committed to Oklahoma today and now my heart is broken.

I think we all share your hope. Expecting some stellar class, in year one under this staff, was just unrealistic. Next years class will show all of us how this staff can recruit.

We made no progress though. We are still in the same boat as far as our needs go, our complete collapse on the field at the end of the season still has the jury out on him as a coach, and another year of recruits going to need to see it on the field when the talent we have right now is probably 5-7 at best next year unless we bring in and develop a QB and some OL.
