We're just getting flat out recruited right now.
Kingsbury to USC as QB coach.
You should stop, this is embarrassing. Nobody is freaking out but you.Quote:

We will finish just like we always do. Same range w great recruiters and shitty recruiters. We are just choosing to stay within our range and not waste our time going away to get players that will bolt at the first sign of adversity. Is what it is. This staff will recruit fine. Money is what it is.Quote:

Say what you will about Leach but he was able to attract some legit four star QB's and receivers. Unfortunately he passed away before they could be developed and play into their upperclassman year.
Also jury is still out on Bumphis as a recruiter and no one really knows what Schmidt does. Our safety coach is an unknown as well.
Until we start putting WR's into the league, we will struggle behind Bama, LSU and even the bears in that area. Hell even Arkansas has put out a first round pick the last two years at WR.Quote:

"Stay in your lane bro." This has been State's approach more times than not.
So what is the deal with Rufus? He isn't on the field and no one will say anything
He?s getting phased out by TEs that will not come close to his productivity.Quote:

It seems to be some folks favorite past time. Smh.Quote:

This position group may be portal heavy after the Spring Practice is over. This 12 does not include wideouts. We can't carry 25 receivers in new O, which also now uses TE's.Quote:

A coach would be better to say he's excited whether he is or not.
Did we ever find out who committed?Quote:

First one in like four or five years.Quote:

Way too early to fret. We will be around the same place we always are in rankings.Quote:

Two 5 stars and three 4 stars. You have to be kidding with this post.Quote:

Yeah idk what we're doing
We may be late to the party with much of this instate class by the time we have to go all out for them.
Looking at our roster, we may be saving our money for the portal. We will need instant impact guys on the lines after this year.Quote:

According to an article posted on sixpack today, we just signed kicker Ethan Chang of William and Mary, 18 of 24 in FG last year with the season's longest of 57 yards. Back in the Shira(?) days when I was a young boy going with my late Dad to see us play Willam & Mary, he would say, "Son, you do realize that if both William and Mary show up, we will probably lose this game." Hail State!
All five of our commits are now ranked on 24/7 composite and we have moved up to #32 in team ranking. Will be great if the three .86 or players from bama, (2), and LA, (1) blow up in their senior seasons and they stick with us. Hail State!
Nobody is panicking. Again its early and we have time to turn it around (like I have said repeatedly) but as of right now data doesnt lie and it is not a good start overall, and a very poor overall in state. reply back and spin that however you like but point remains.Quote:
