Yet when he played instead of Owens we moved the ball and scored on 3 straight possessions, inside zone popped for then only time all night, and he graded out higher.Quote:

Reese was solid. James had moments. Jackson was serviceable.Quote:

So Sigler comes in for a visit this afternoon and immediately commits to Auburn!
So both of our OL transfer commits has zero snaps between both of them?
I'm pretty sure the FSU kid has 0 snaps. Not sure about the other one you're referring to. This is extremely concerning.Quote:

So do you think that we out recruited FSU in any position the last 2-4 years? Yet, people are going to question losing Work & company to other teams as backups? Who?s to say that these guys are not better the what we had?? Some of you guys need to just shut up and let it play out before judging based on some bs numbers. I would rather have P4 players than what we have had the past few years. It?s definitely an improvement from what we?ve been signing!Quote:

Unless you know for a fact the guy can play at this level. I get recruiting based off talent, but we lost a bunch of games this year due to our trenches being weak. Therefore I feel it's a necessity that you bring in guys you know can play; not hope.Quote:

I don?t see any logic! What I see are some people that think that we can attract ?P4 starters to a program that happens to be in the SEC, but haven?t accomplished shit in that period.? We have to prove ourselves as legitimate competitors in this league, and it begins with better talent. If we are signing P4 players compared to what we have signed in the past, that means we have opened eyes enough to gain their interest. That?s a positive for us compared to what we?ve done lately.Quote:

The bears are landing top 5 OL in the portal, and we are signing guys with zero experience. At some point we have to sign some actual dudes who have proved they are dogs on the P4 level.
No doubt. There is no way around it. Yoi can't just keep shooting from the hip and hoping for the best. That's what I am seeing right now.Quote:
