Paul Gainer

[lamont]

What's his better option? ULL and Usm?

So we have spent a couple years recruiting a guy that is not SEC-worthy and had him committed- only to drop him the last month?

We need to start spreading OL recruiting into 2 categories.

Guards - We are doing ok here. We've got quality options and depth

Tackles - We have been absolutely hideous here. Big problem.

With that being said, Gainer was a guard, so I don't see this as a huge deal. Our lack of tackles is a firable offense. He's has to be the worst OL evaluator we've ever had.

You can overcome bad recruiting with a good evaluator

You can't overcome both

Terrible evaluation. The guy doesn't even have another power 5 offer. What frustrates me more than Hev being a weak recruiter is how terrible of an evaluator he is. This is an indictment on Hev's evaluation ability. Not recruiting ability.

Reese and Williams

4 of our 5 starters had a combined Zero Power 5 offers. Breathe that in and let it marinate before you respond with our stats vs Samford or Wisconsins oline offers.

I don't think we completely dropped him but he was concerned about our depth at guard and there is a debate whether to continue to push to get him back in the fold. Let's see what happens with an OV. And no, I've stated that while Hev can be a good OL coach, his recruiting is a complete albatross on the staff. But haven't heard that Hev screwed the recruiting in this one. They do feel good about the interior right now and are really focused on tackle prospects (they had better get at least 2 good prospects). From his side I don't understand it other than wanting to go to a smaller school thinking he has a better chance to start early.

[Cooterpoot]

Bull...shit. Who told you that? Let me guess, Paul Jones.

Lose your crap over a 3* kid with offers from USM and ULL often?
It's a numbers game. He's a borderline prospect at a spot we're deep at. He's a redshirt project regardless. He doesn't fill the tackle need we've got. Depending on how some things fall, he could still end up signing.

[Jack Lambert]

Hev gonna Hev.

We in no way have better options and told him to look around. Complete Bullshit

Hev wasn't his recruiter

SMH. People still don't understand the whole position coach thing I see.

I don't get you sometimes. In the same thread, you melt bc our oline has no P5 offers and melt over losing an olineman with no P5 offers. Chill, we gotta a 5* lined up**

[Todd4State]

He is strickly a guard so it is kind of crowded there. I don't know, supposedly he has someone in his ear but his other offers are not Power 5 right now. USM, ULL and UCF has shown some interest lately. We will see how it plays out.

He's a CENTER. Of which we have zero on our depth chart right now.

Completely illogical. You have to recruit for 3-5 years out- not next year on the o-line when we are talking about high school prospects.

He is a guard who might be a center eventually and would not be a center next year regardless.
