C-Dawg the strategy With T-Buck should be let him be the set-up guy and bring a closer in when the time is ripe. been their done that.Quote:

So looking like Washington to FSU and Emerson to Miami. We really need some good news
You recall incorrectly about Nik Hogan which proves how little you know about what I post. Feel free to link it so I can apologize.Quote:

Reed, Williams and Furdge may or may not pan out- but we have options of guys to at least try. Unlike Hevesy and his 2-3 recruit OL classes which have caused depth issues and us having to play some of your favorite o-linemen out of position. And in the past those depth issues have caused us to have to move TE's like Rufus Warren and DL like James Carmon to the o-line to fill a void. We won't have to do that at CB. Despite all of T-Buck's misses- he at least goes back and gets someone to fill the spot instead of signing no one at all. The only way that would be comparable would be if T-Buck didn't sign guys he targeted, was lazy and we were having to move safeties to CB every year.
He did get Rankin- but he also redshirted him when he should have played him instead of Rufus Warren which hurt us in 2015. He also missed him out of high school.
And let's look at our o-line. Which wasn't all that great especially if you remember our o-lines in 1980 and 1998.
C- Jenkins. You give him credit yet Hevesy didn't offer him until the last day in January. Probably after a bunch of misses on his part. Giving Hevesy credit here is like giving a blind squirrel credit for finding a nut.
G- Williams. I'll give him credit here. However, we're having to switch him to center because someone apparently forgot that centers were part of the o-line the past five years.
G- Calhoun. Solid player. We'll see if he gets drafted. It will be round 5-7 if he does.
T- Eiland. Part of the reason he looked good last year was because he started against BYU, Kentucky before Josh Allen's switch went on, A&M with a lot of injuries if I recall correctly, and UMass. The other reason he looked bad is because he was a sophomore who had to start in the SEC as a sophomore. Because someone told a guy who started for Clemson that his hands were too small. Which meant we couldn't use Eiland at RT where he would have been far less exposed. Also this entire o-line struggled with really good defenses last year too. Let's not forget Georgia and Auburn last year when talking about how bad they were this year.
T- Reese. If I can't give T-Buck credit for Dantlzer you sure as hell can't give Hevesy credit for Reese. Who ironically was recruited by T-Buck and not wanted by Hevesy at all. And again another OL playing too soon and out of position because Hevesy failed to fill needs in recruiting. And again- thank God for T-Buck getting him or we would have been worse.
We'll see on Parker, Suggs, and Story. But they are in the exact same position that Reed, Williams, and Furdge are right now in their development except for Story being slightly further along. And Reed was offered by Tennessee after we dropped him and that tells me something as well. And I hope you are right about Suggs because otherwise Hevesy would have completely crapped out with Montravious Richardson and Josh Cooper who never qualified. But at least Brian Baker got us Josh Jackson who we moved to center this year.
Mullen took quite a few of our coaches with him to Florida, but excluded T-Buck. Wonder if recruiting was a major factor.Quote:

Kunddarius Taylor list us in his top-3..?20 Juco WR who was the best WR at Co-Lin last year. Kid is a ball player that we need, real game changer.
T-Buck did not like Mullen.Quote:

The Mullen can't recruit argument is tired. When will be face the facts that this might be the way it is here. He don't seem to be having many recruiting issues at Florida OR was he right in saying the the name on the jersey recruits itself?Quote:
