You can't blame June Jones. He is using antiquated technology so everything takes much longer! (Insert overhead projector anecdote)

Re: Football Recruiting
Rumor has it the class is full, because there's only 14 or 15 seniors graduating.
Re: Football Recruiting
JJ normally goes over the graduation amount. I know the NCAA has 25 person limit now. I would expect 1 or 2 more commits unless JJ is not coming back or something

Re: Football Recruiting
Of course the other way of looking at it is that we are only graduating 14-15 guys so next year we should have a more experienced team. The OLine for sure looks like next year could be good. Of course they really need to get their £€#% together like they did at the end of the Rutgers game and let GG spread some people.
I'm gutted at this season so far but I think we have potential.

Re: Football Recruiting
Larry Brown showed how to solve that problem. We are allowed 25 new signees/85 max. Recruit the 25 and may the best of the 85 win.

Re: Football Recruiting
No. You still need Larry brown. His staff are doing a wonderful job, but without him to sell we don't have near this success.

Re: Football Recruiting
Not true. You don't need a Larry Brown to have a good staff. That is such a cop-out. Having a LB definitely helps but suggesting that is the only way to assemble a great staff is ridiculous. It takes hungry coaches will to work their arse off which is nonexistent on this football staff.Mustangsabu wrote:No. You still need Larry brown.

And let me be clear, you're right that we're getting 5-star talent partially because of LB's name but it is incorrect to suggest we need a big name like that recruit successfully in football. An aggressive staff in football could and should be landing 3-star and even a few 4-star talent - see Klemm.
