Yeah. At some point we just have to trust the coaches & fire them if they're consistently wrong.
Would love to get Radar. Great fit for us

According to Paul, he almost transferred here back in the spring. Gotta thing we have a good shot.
Nigel Knott is also in the portal. When are all these kids gonna learn?
Raydar, Knott, Handy, Hall, M. Jackson, possibly Brandon Turnage, are all potential transfers.
The grass is always greener on the other side. Until you realize that the grass that you're going to be standing on is on the sidelines.
I really don't see Brandon Turnage transferring.

Also until you realize all these places are virtually the same.
You live in the same apartment, go to the same classes everyday, go to a similar facility as every other SEC school, & play the same schedule. Then you realize these God like coaches are just simple flawed humans that are salesmen. The entire charade loses it's shine pretty fast.
I think we signed Hampton more as an athlete than anything else. We listed him at DB because that's where our need is at the present moment in the class. However, if we land some targets and or we just see that he is more use at WR we just go ahead and get a transfer or JUCO at that time and let him play WR for us. Win/win for us.
How many times did a guy like Hampton end up at Arkansas State, blow up and then we wonder why we missed him?
A lot of how I judge the staffs recruiting eye will be if either one of those guys develops into anything. Mostly because we chose to sign them in the early period when we knew there was about to be a flurry of coaching changes and portal entries.
No choice but to trust them at this point though
Maybe so. But with the Covid rule for the 2021 roster it’s not that big a deal.. just going to have to get back to the 85 scholarship players in 2022.. Kids will transfer out after next season , I’m sure a few more will after spring ball that aren’t cracking the 2 deep. ( we will have a handful of upperclassmen we actually need to transfer) .
Numbers will work out in the end.. they always do
The big deal is that lack of depth in the defensive backfield and filling immediate needs. We've got one safety that can play pass coverage and only two CBs that are good. Perkins is a must. MJ would've seen action. Hampton will not. Johnson isn't likely a year one guy. We took a WR that's not going to be much help in the future & doesn't fit the offense very well. I'm hearing Hampton will be an insurance policy there.
Gotta grab a transfer safety and reel in Perkins. Do that, and I agree it works out.
