Since Leach passed

[DEDawg]

Leach is 100 % to blame for our lack of defensive talent right now. I wasn’t aware that was even a debate.

I don?t understand how people can even think otherwise. They act like Leach left us 5 years ago, 2024 class should all be sophomores from leach?s last recruiting cycle starting to contribute. Where are those guys if the argument is this isn?t Leach and his staffs fault? Agree with you, this isnt even a debate

You make no sense. How do we go from 41 last year in total defense to 127 this year? Anyone that Leach recruited is no longer here. They have transferred. Are you that dim? The entire team this year was practically from the transfer portal. Not because the guys Leach recruited are still on the team. People have to exit in order for us to have room on the roster.

Good lord brother.

We lost 1 SEC level defensive player in the portal. Look at where they all went when they transferred out. Dave Emerick destroyed our recruiting. Particularly on defense.

We lost multiple defensive players to the portal since 2022. You obviously no jack all about building a roster. You think that because a player does not transfer to an SEC school - they are not SEC caliber. That has zero logic, because majority of our transfers that started for us this year did NOT come from an SEC school.

Son, they transferred to G5 programs after leaving us because they knew they were not good enough to play in the SEC. We processed them because they were not any good. It happens at every program in the country. Are you really this clueless? You think all the ones that left us and went to USM level schools turned down better options to do so? Please stop embarrassing yourself. Let me break this down Barney style for you. If a player transfers from a power 4 school to a G5 school it is because they are not good enough to play. Every single one of our Leach defensive transfers except 1 fit this mold. If you are a G5 player and transfer up to a p4 school it is because you excelled in the G5 and want to get an NiL check and more exposure. We had 1 player leave us for a better opportunity on defense. That is why we are where we are defensively.

Keep blaming a dead guy for the shit show we have.

The guy that had the last winning season for State for the foreseeable future.

The guys we brought in from the portal got ran out of Starkville by a G5 school, my guy.

The entire reason we had to bring in guys from the portal was because the dead guy recruited like a*s on the defensive side of the ball, moron. There were 3 Leach recruiting classes on this roster, 1 Arnett recruiting class, and 1 Lebby spring portal class. You not being able to do math isn’t my fault.

That got us pretty far, didn't it. This argument is stupid. You are obviously simple minded and have no clue about modern day football.

Coach dies, players leave. Hire a shit coach and fire him after one year, players leave. Hire a 1st year HC that goes 2-10. Players leave. They have/had no reason to stay. Likely bottom feeders left on the roster from when Leach was alive. You're an idiot if you think otherwise.

Hey dumba*ss, the players that left after Leach died and Arnett left went to sh*tty programs at a lower level because they were sh*tty football players. No one left for a better opportunity. That means his recruiting was not good. You are too stupid to have a conversation with.

You cannot be this dense, you have to be trolling. If all these Leach defensive players transferred to G5 schools and half of them can?t even get on the field there, what does that tell you? Why do you think we HAD TO GO FULL PORTAL ON D THIS YEAR? Im not following what part you can?t understand. You are just proving my point more

So you're changing your argument now from Leach's recruits not contributing.. now you're saying they are not here.. so you are agreeing with me that Leachs recruits have transferred out? Who knows the reasoning and who cares. They're not on this team and did not put 10 Ls on our schedule.

Whether his guys that transferred out were good or not. They aren't on the 17n team. Jesus christ.

Youre an idiot. If they are no longer on the team, it wouldn't matter if they were good or not. The guys that transferred out did jack shit to lose games this year. If they were worth a shit they would have left too. Nothing to make them stay.

Leach's teams never had a defense ranked worse than 41st in the country. This year's was 127th. Seems like even on Leach's worst year, we were not historically bad.

I know numbers are difficult for you. I tried to simplify it the best that I can.

8 of the 11 starters on defense were Leach recruits. The ones who left the program did so because they sucked. You are the only one that doesn’t know that.

When you recruit 3 year’s worth of sh*tty defensive players it does not show up right away. It shows up when all of the previous coach’s good players leave. That’s why they call recruiting the lifeblood of the program, you mental midget. You can’t whiff on 3 entire signing classes defensively and then act like it isn’t that person’s fault the very year all of those players would be playing if they were worth a sh*t. Those players not being here any more created a huge void in the roster. Please have someone with a brain that you can sit down with and not judge you explain how recruiting and roster management work because I don’t have the patience for your ignorance. I’m going to stop replying now because you are either a troll or legitimately retarded and I don’t want to make fun of an actual retard and do not want to deal with a troll.

Alright, just because I'm bored today I will lay it out for you. You will reply with why it isn't Leach's fault but I got nothing else going on so why not.

Class of 2022, Leach's last full class. Can we agree that class should be having a significant impact and playing time for the 2024 season? I would believe we can both agree with that. Defensive players he recruited in his class.

Mojo Dortch (highest rated recruit) - Was supposed to be a DB for us. 2 catches at Troy this year. Can't see the field at a G5
Trevion Williams - 33 tackles for us this year. 0.5 sacks. Depth piece level, not an SEC starter. SEC quality depth type imo, but definitely a starter for us with how bare the cupboard is.
Avery Sledge - 13 total tackles at Southern Miss. Can barely see the field at the worst G5 school.
Decarlos Nicholson - Juco guy so will give a pass here since those guys aren't really meant to be impact unless you're in a real bad spot. May have started for us this year, transferred out and is a career backup at USC
Javae Gilmore - 2 total tackles this year. Not even depth quality
Donterry Russel - 4 total tackles this year. Not even depth quality
Kalvin Dinkins - Keep hearing this dude is an important part of our DL. 2 total tackles this year. That should tell you something


If you want to defend how that defensive recruiting isn't on Leach and that staff go ahead, but we will never see eye to eye on it. He screwed us defensively. Again, rest in peace and he did a great job in his time here but both things can be, and are, true.

My brother in christ, HOW CAN THEY CONTRIBUTE IF THEY HAD TO TRANSFER OUT BECAUSE THEY AREN'T EVEN GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY ON A SHITTY 2-10 TEAM. lmao come on man, you cannot be this dense.

Once again, majority of your post is made up of people that are not on the team.

How is that in any way impacting this year's results and how bad we were defensively?

[MBDawg601]

Youre blaming people that aren't on the team for how bad we are.. that's pretty dense. There are teams out there with far less talent winning games and beating us by 24 points.

That's not on Leach my brother. That's on us. We are too good to admit that though.

Someone having to explain to you why it’s Leach’s fault that we could not replace 3 sh*tty recruiting classes in 1 year has to be an all time troll job. There is just no way you are this ignorant.

Anyway.
