That's the. Point you were getting to?
You know what these kids do? They switch schools on the reg to play for the best team they can. To go to the top dog in town or even the town next door. They chase winning teams and coaches, there's no loyalty to anything besides trying to win.
You brought up 7 on 7. Well, where else are they going to play? They're going to play on a local squad and load it up with the best players they can.
Again, the common denominator is playing on a winning team and we have people questioning if winning means anything? Huh? You serious? They will chase the wins every time.
Get a staff they can believe in that shows it on the field, they'll be stabbing people in the back to get in.
So they want to load up their 7 v 7 teams so they can win with whatever local coach but not load up at UM?
My point was that these kids are going for other things besides the W’s and bags have a lot to do with it And all the recruiting scandals that the ncaa has squashed proves it.
Everyone keeps talking about wins and “quality staff” but Pruitt was landing kids he had no business landing and if you think all it took was some cash in a happy meal then your delusional AF. Fedora would’ve been in the playoffs if it wasn’t for Watson and he wasn’t able to recruit anywhere near the level of Mac. Kirby has a **** nfl roster and can’t even get to the **** playoffs but is still landing top 50 players.
We do the sofla dream class every few years and say “that team would crush everyone”. And do you think CIS has a bunch of coaching savants that are the only ones that see it? Coach Soldinger said it himself over 20 years ago “you could be in the championship game every year with just the players south of I-4”
You said “winning is the common denominator”so I’ll ask again; if winning is what these kids really want then why don’t they all stay and play together and literally guarantee a playoff spot?
Freaking clappy was a bad call away from winning 2 rings while sitting in a recliner for 2 years. You don't think the people we have on staff can’t put the amount of talent that has left this area in the past 4 years in the playoffs?
Everything with this **** team is a double standard. Sec teams with brand new coaching staffs coming off of horrible seasons can land a top ten class but we have to “win first”.
SEC can promise “we will put you wherever you want” then break that promise with no local repercussions. An elite recruit doesn’t pan out at Bama “he was a bust”. Elite recruit doesn’t pan out here “we don’t develop”.
Ingram hasn’t played at all at Bama and the narrative has been “bad scheme fit”. Really? So the guy who recruited him and the head coach who ok’d it have no dirt on their hands for recruiting him to a bad system? I thought Saban turned porta potty turds into diamonds and iridium? I thought he was the goat evaluator and can develop players by sprinkling them with that Coca Cola he never drinks out of.
If ingram was riding pine here we would have a 50 page thread on it blaming everyone.
These kids have been bought and brainwashed that we would be a .500 team and squander all the talent down here and it’s total BS.
Tutu, Ps2, surtain, wingo, Bonito, Tate, Ladsen, ryque, Slaton, Jeudy, battle, Brooks, Hendo, Daniels, Boggle, Schwartz, Moore, Dumerville.............Thornton, Abdula, that’s just off the top of my head.
We can go on and on and the list is just ridiculous. Even Pitt has 3 dudes from down here dominating at the dline.
We would be 3-5 deep at every position to the point that oos kids would be drooling to come play here to compete against these players.
We put a team like that together and yes kids will be stabbing each other in the back to jump in. The receiver position alone would make every top qb want to come
But no, we have to win without them first to make them want to come?
Nah man, they already know what will happen if they stay.
