Would that be an ok 40 time if moved to SS or FS?Quote:

I have no idea how many official we have left in the bank though.
As a senior in high school? Yes if the times legit. Probably faster than Mark McLauren.Quote:

Basically self imposed sanctions by signing under two years in a row.
Wrong, we’ll be at 85 when fall camp opensQuote:

They have been recruited again ever harder by our competition for the coming Feb signing date. I think only getting 14 on the dotted line that day was pitiful compared to other schools and their #'s of signees. Still hoping we finish somewhat strong. To end up with available spots and needs will be a real downer. JMO, and I don't think the coaching turnover helped at all short term.Quote:

We screwed up the early signing period. We couldn?t get kids signed and now we?re offering guys like Lawerence and Buys and neither are worth even looking at. USM didn?t even offer Lawrence and he?s in their backyard. Baker cost us at least one player and possibly two- that mother 17r. We need Emerson and Mingo. But I?m not counting on them.
Damn you guys follow kids too closely and care wayyyy too much. I didn't know a large number of men could be so depressing. Some of you guys need help. Bipolar disorder is at its finest here. One day everything is ok the next tweet about the sun rising in Asia and the world is ending again. From one page to the next is pure mental anguish happening.
I don't understand the "recruit-guru-HS-kid-jock-sniffer" types. There have been dozens of "backup-plan" guys here that turned out great. If we sign a Banks/BMac rated kid tomorrow some of y'all will have a hemorrhage. I will reserve my meltdown for two years from now when we see who the real players are.
Of course some of you will argue we can't field a team of backup plan guys...... 'cause you don't reed two gud.
Were banks and BMac late scrambles? I can't remember for sure. Another thing to consider when comparing low rated players we take now compared to Mullen is Mullen proved he had an eye for underrated players. Pretty sure most of Mullen's good diamonds were early takes though, not lateQuote:

Our staff has followed Lawrence for a while now...they realize he is a project. I?m fine signing him as we have plenty of room. Jo blew the early signing period only landing 14. Hell Georgia ENROLLED 14!Quote:

He killed people in his video.Quote:

You’re wrong but okQuote:

There is a way to say you aren’t excited about recruiting without using names.
Nope, I’m not. The rest of the division isn’t reaching for kids like Lawrence and Buys. They’re all pretty much set. Their best available guys are more like our top guys and some spots. We continue to undersign and grab up the guys whose coaches played for us because it’s all we can get.Quote:
