he is quoted as saying he got calls from big programs but was never offered and didn't visit any. I liked his video when I saw if several days ago but he still a sleeper who had to settle for one of the many offers the miliary academies give out every year since they are not subject to NCAA scholarship limitations. This is not quality recruiting iis simply analysis of left overs. That's what this staff does-its all they can do because they are an awful RECRUITING staff. But you can bet if they get a call from an old Coaching buddy or an old NFL player with a son that needs a scholarship, or an old buddy National Kicking School specialist with a kid without offers-THIS STAFF WILL JUMP. Keeps them from having to recruit.

Do you guys have to ooze negativity into every football matter? The team hasn't even stepped on a field together yet and you guys have already given up. Give the team a chance, and if in the first few games they don't look great, then voice your opinion

Good speed and agility in the videos. Why were these guys dismissed from the team?

Nate Gaines decommitted.

One of our only guys with a BCS offer.

There is a difference between negativity and just being realistic. Somehow using facts = being negative??

Sunshine and rainbows for everyone! :roll:

I gave my rant before the decommitment. Now I'm a little pissed

A great addition in my opinion. The conference needs more solid teams. It will really come down to UCF, USF, Cincy, Navy and SMU to carry the football load for the conference to be respectable.

First we need to recruit at that a higher level...

For the next few years, in order of how good they will be, it'll probably be something like

UCF
Cincy
USF
Houston
ECU
Navy
SMU
Temple (2014 class tied with cincy for 2nd in AAC)
Tulsa
Tulane
Memphis
Ucoon
BOP - Providing insensitivity training for a politically correct world since 1989.

They were kicked out of school for drinking (underage) and being dumb enough to walk back through the gates of West Point drunk AND having one of their group (which was not just the 3 headed to SMU) puke within plain view of the MPs at the gate.

They did this the week before the game against Navy Prep. At the time, the USMAPS team was undefeated, but many starters were suspended for the game because of the incident. Dummies ruined a perfect season because they couldn't wait a week for a drink.

It is also rumored that one or more of the group used fake id to buy the booze. If true, that's far, far, FAR worse than anything else they did.

Thanks for the insight.
