Work couldn't beat Owens out. Work was not good this year.

Who on our OL was good this year?

Reese was good when he was healthy.

Work couldn't beat Owens out. Work was not good this year.

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.
I'm not saying either were great. Even good. But work was better vs Wake.

[confucius say]

Who on our OL was good this year?

Reese was solid. James had moments. Jackson was serviceable.
Nobody was what I would call good.

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.

When I see these type of situations I see a coach telling them to find another home because they won't be playing there. I know that's not always the situation, but that's what I see. Due to the fact of how we have not done very well in the portal recently with guys in the trenches. I hope I'm wrong.

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!

I see the logic of both sides. I do agree with you that all we can do is let it play out though

I'm not saying they are better or worse. A couple we have recruited have 0 snaps so there are no numbers to base it off of. I agree that we need P4 players. But we need experienced P4 players. 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.

I'm not bashing our recruiting. You won't see me bashing coaches or players on this board. I may ask questions and raise concerns, but bashing is not my thing. I want more than anybody for our coaches and players to be successful. I don't think its unreasonable to question recruiting a guy with 0 playing time in our biggest position of need with our history in the portal so far.

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.

100%. That's the only thing you can do.

Work committed to Missouri yesterday I believe.

I mean, might as well shut down the site.

I think it is fair to be worried that so far we have two OL commits, and neither have played a snap since high school. That is fair.

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.

Anyone with size and speed can look good at a camp or whatever. But until you put the pads on and line up across from another grown man wanting to run through you for 4 quarters then coaches truly can't evaluate you. Experience is #1. Preferably at a P4 level.
