If Battle stays with OSU after this scandal ... it's really

Read on Ga board this AM they are going after Battle also. Looks like Canes going to have to fight them for every elite SoFla DB from now on.

If it was flipped and Richt was going after DBs in Georgia, all of South Florida would be up in arms. Amazing how UGA can prioritize recruits outside of the state. Can someone let Nolan Smith known Kirby's doing the same thing that they accused Richt of doing while at UGA?

If this is the case then why do we tout all the former players and HOF NFL players we’ve had ? Why should they care about what Ed Reed has to say about persuading them to come here if they’re going to go to the league anyway ?

Isn’t that what NFLU is all about ? Developing players and sending them to the league ? I don’t disagree with your point but the track record and development ability of these coaches has to mean something

Our coaches use NFL U as a recruiting tool because dummies accept it as a viable position. And we need to milk every advantage we have even if it’s a fallacious one. What Butch Davis’s recruits have to do with Folden or Rick or their staffs is beyond me.
 
The 2019 draft will be the first one that Richt and Co can claim to have developed a kid from HS to NFL while AT Miami. That doesn't mean that Richt, Diaz, Brown, Searels, Dugans, and Hartley haven't "developed" kids. It does mean Banda, Rumph, Simpson, Richt Jr, Gus, and Patke can start to take some credit.

As for kids developing, there are lots of kids who left Miami in the 2005-2015 timeframe who were not finished products. At least Richt & Co are getting more from the kids that are willing to work, vetting kids to find more of the hard workers, and also landing better athletes/talents. The product on the field should continue to improve over the next 2-4 years as we finally get closer to 85 kids and the average age increases with the additional spots.

New IPF, new dorms soon, Stadium renovation, U Family, better summer camps, better community outreach, better income for players from UM based on the full cost of attending, better S&C, better W/L records, NCAA sanctions have been over for a few years, NFL Alumni are involved again... lots of positives. If we have another 10+ season with almost all of the kids being signed by Richt then they hopefully can close strong with far more big name kids than currently committed.

This whole “developing” **** is retarded. It’s doubly retarded when you try to link the decision of a dopey 17 year old to it. These kids go where they get convinced to go or where they get paid to go.

Did Paul Williams “develop” Artie Burns, or was Artie a great athlete who worked hard and had excellent NFL potential? You guys put way too much stock in the alleged genius of some position coaches. If they get great players then they’ll suddenly morph into great “developers.”

Hartley hasn’t “developed” anyone, but he has zero problems getting anyone to sign up here.

this is just like boxing and trainers. Any honest ones will tell you that they are a lot smarter and much more effective when they have really talented guys in their corner. Not saying they can't improve guys or make a difference, but having fighters who are pound-for-pound quality will make you like Angelo Dundee all of a sudden. It really helps to have that foundation of talent right off the bat and then be able to nurture that

Same thing applies in football or any other sport

Battle doesn't seem like the type of kid who has any interest in playing the bag game.

Really no STA kids do. And that's why Kirby will never land anyone from there.

Guys like Battle and Richards UGA has no shot at. That's the downside of using money to buy your recruits. If a kid has parents who aren't scum it doesn't work

Having recently seen Sorry To Bother You, there's a sequence that reminds me of Rumph and Banda and why they might be having some hiccups on the reail and missed on a guy like Battle in the first place.

Basically, they don't have a "white voice". If you've see the movie you'll know what I'm talking about.

1. He is ELITE, he showed out at Paradise as the best DB there, that theory is a no go

2. He has MORE HS teammates at Miami than at Ohio State as well, so that theory also is a no go

3. He's FLIPPIN 2 MIAMI, I got a good feeling

Unless this whole thing ends up blowing over with only punishment being Urb not able to coach in the first game against the Ohio bible college. NCAA is not a fair governing body & football is big bidness in Columbus. They can say, he didn't Woody Hayes anyone, give him a pass.

That said, hope your'e right. Kid is the goods.

Yup, and there's a lot of pitching coaches patting themselves on the back over Nolan Ryan.
