I’ve been out of the game for a while but I’m getting back into it. Not much has changed. Just listened to this great Gary Parrish podcast on DJ Jeffries so I had to spread the knowledge, but the canes way. The game is still the game, word to the wire. I’m like cutty hoping out the pen.

QB - We’re reaching out to elite qbs behind the scenes but we’re behind the 8 ball. If I was on staff, I would’ve gone all out for taisun and the Daniels kid who is a UCLA lean. Now that UCLA looks a little better that’s a long shot but we could still flip taisun because our qb situation is a mess. Recruiting Sam Howell is a waste of time he’s going to FSU or will stay in state at UNC but I don’t think he flips. We really botched Taisun’s recruitment.

Mark / J Richt stop letting these young cats fool you. If a qb likes you they’ll commit early. MJJ never wanted to be here we were always a plan b so he strung us along until he found where he really wanted to be. You guys passed on taisun for no **** reason because MJJ ended up going to a school with a qb committed already.

I hope they don’t make the same mistakes in 2020. If they lock on to G. Span and Richt’s nephew (who both look good) without doing a full search then they didn’t learn their lesson. I wonder why they didn’t offer that Jax kid that tore it up at a summer camp

RB - we need to keep Crowley. That’s really the only thing that matters and everything else is gravy. MAR is an elite athlete and a legacy so we need to land him but I’m really not sure if his best position will be rb. If he’s hellbent on playing offense I’d also try him out at WR. With kids like MAR, Jeff thomas & DJ, we need to use them more creatively than just out of the backfield or as wr. We need to steal from other colleges there.

Kenny Mcintosh is a legacy but unless he wants to play lb, which he has no interest in besides doing it to help his hs team win games, then I’m fine with letting him go to OU or UGA. I think UGA would be a terrible career move for Kenny and I hope he goes to OU.

Great job recruiting T. Brown/Hartley. A lot of people killed you two for taking Crowley early (myself included) but you guys know more than me.

WR - I think we land Haselwood because I’m following the visits and common knowledge. You don’t decommit from uga two months before signing day to recommit there. They do have their official visit left so that’s something to monitor. Not really concerned here and think we land him.

Jeremih Payton is great and doesn’t get enough love. I also like that jones kid we’re recruiting but our wr room is STACKED so don’t know if there’s room for him. If we would open up our **** playbook everyone could get touches but that’s another conversation. Like Mike leach said, there’s nothing balanced about 50-50 if only 2 skill players instead of 5 are getting the ball.

Dugans you’re doing great

Side note: never get too concerned with wr. Here are the top 10 WRs from the 2012 class

1. Dorial Green Beckham
2. Stefon Diggs
3. Thomas Johnson
4. Deontay Greenberry
5. Amari Cooper
6. Chris Black
7. Cayley Jones
8. Germone Hopper
9. Durron Neal
10. Bryce Treggs

WR is very tough position to evaluate/predict much like QB, Oline, and DT. That’s why having a great coach like Dugans makes it a lot easier for us. Haselwood will be an absolute star if he comes to Miami imo

TE - Zip is going to Florida. Stop falling for his trolling. He knows brevin and Mallory are good. His school is a UF pipeline. He knows that he can play early at uf. If he miraculously comes here and brings summerall, that’s great. But it’d save you all some stress if you just stopped listening or watching what he says.

Love larry Hodges. Love the Texas kid too but with Texas A&M’s resurgence that’ll be hard to pull off. Hopefully patke and hartley can get that done. Regardless, we’re good with the te we have committed in 2020, brevin, and mallory. There’s only one football stop being so greedy thinking we need Zip. Kids aren’t built like that anymore to wait it out for 2-3 years. Again, that’s another discussion.

OLINE - Man we appear to be screwed. Our tackle prospect (Michae T) tore his labrum and also looks like he would better guard than tackle. I have torn both of my labrums and the commitment to physical therapy, when no one is watching you, is no joke. Hope he recovers fully. Kingsley will be a battle till the end because auburn has always had favor in Jax. Luckily, Hartley is the Howard schellenberger of Jax so we have a good chance there. Hartley if you read this you’re killin it.

We will try to recruit some JUCO oline but let’s see if that works out. Don’t think we’ve taken any JUCOs under Richt. I’m sure we’ll hit the grad transfer market

I’ll think we should take the Miami central kid as a regardless of what happens with Kingsley. We need more competition at oline.

Evan Neal will come down to logic vs heart. Nature vs nurture. Everything else is noise. We need to win out and show him that he become a first rounder here and become a trail blazer instead of another cog in Alabama’s wheel. Neal could be a first rounder at wymoning. This kid is very dedicated and self sufficient & he doesn’t need Saban. All these coaches know the same techniques more or less.

It wasn’t Nick Saban who completely transformed Neal’s body, fitness, diet and health. It was Neal. If you come to Miami you’ll be more than fine. Alabama also doesn’t have that south Florida heat which will make you better. Come home Neal

Fat kids love their moms and Neal was a fat kid growing up. It’s going to be momma Neal and family vs Nick Saban until signing day. We’ve lost a bunch of these but I still get on the rollercoaster every **** time. Strap up

Darius Washington took his official visit here and we still have 0 crystal balls so I’m not expecting him. Would be a major pull but we haven’t had any of those recently (oline wise) so again, not expecting him.

We have no **** tackles. We need to stop being greedy. We should’ve offered the kid that’s committed to UF, W.W. The fact that our staff thinks we have the luxury to pass on a Miami kid with his physical traits is beyond me.


Take my assumptions or leave em. Interested to hear your comments

I remember searles on one of his first post practice interviews say “I want every lineman in the country to know that the university of Miami is looking for tackles!” Or something to that nature.
Hey dumb *** it’s been like almost 3 years and I’ve heard there is a bunch of them in some place called the Midwest and your out here picking battle with the sec. the fugg is you doing man!!???
Your gonna get fired for either not developing or getting bad talent.

I agree with a lot of what you posted. Thank you for bringing a conversational topic to the board. We have to fight to keep it that way.
 
Basically we are fawked. You need 4-6 quality olinemen every year. You need a top 250 overall qb every year. You will not win alot of games without at least the qb. You cannot have a class with these kind of holes in year 3.
 
O line recruiting is a joke right now.
Agreed. We are in the mix for a couple top prospects but the numbers are low. We should have handed out offers and continued to recruit so many more. It's not looking good from the outside looking in but I hope we land Neal, flip Washington and/or pull Wright somehow. It's the only way to turn the joke that is OL recruiting into a plus. Highly doubt it but one can pray.

I doubt it and I don’t blame him I would tell CMR hope your QB room burns to the ground if I was him and CMR hits him up this late with an offer.

I still don't understand the hard-on everyone has for Howell, he isn't even the best QB here in Charlotte. The Charlotte Christian QB who is committed to Miss St. to me is a better QB. He single handedly won against Providence Day in their last game by 1 point. He is 6'5" and has a good arm, and is mobile. He is a 4* per 24/7, I work with their RB's father, that is how I found out about the kid and have seen him play.


Also Fedora flew a helicopter into Charlotte to see Howell and he laid an egg against their only good opponent that Sun Valley played all year.

QB recruiting was a disaster last year too until we got lucky with Jarren. These guys were all in on Sitkowski who got benched after a game or two. What's that tell you?? I would assume there are roughly five guys a year you go after hard core and you take the first one who is all in.

Crowley is a stud, excellent job by the coaches on that one. They got on him way before everyone else and now looks who's sniffing around.

Peyton is the same as Crowley..

Its always been the OL that kills us for the most part. It is very hard to evaluate is what you hear but man we seem to always be scouring the middle of no where for guys at the last minute. For once it would be nice to see four solid guys committed in August.

You win in the trenches!!!

2. Stefon Diggs
3. Thomas Johnson
4. Deontay Greenberry
5. Amari Cooper
6. Chris Black
7. Cayley Jones
8. Germone Hopper
9. Durron Neal
10. Bryce Treggs

WR is very tough position to evaluate/predict much like QB, Oline, and DT. That’s why having a great coach like Dugans makes it a lot easier for us. Haselwood will be an absolute star if he comes to Miami imo

TE - Zip is going to Florida. Stop falling for his trolling. He knows brevin and Mallory are good. His school is a UF pipeline. He knows that he can play early at uf. If he miraculously comes here and brings summerall, that’s great. But it’d save you all some stress if you just stopped listening or watching what he says.

Love larry Hodges. Love the Texas kid too but with Texas A&M’s resurgence that’ll be hard to pull off. Hopefully patke and hartley can get that done. Regardless, we’re good with the te we have committed in 2020, brevin, and mallory. There’s only one football stop being so greedy thinking we need Zip. Kids aren’t built like that anymore to wait it out for 2-3 years. Again, that’s another discussion.

OLINE - Man we appear to be screwed. Our tackle prospect torn his labrum and also looks like he would better guard than tackle. I have torn both of my labrums and the commitment to physical therapy, when no one is watching you, is no joke. Hope he recovers fully. Kingsley will be a battle till the end because auburn has always had favor in Jax. Luckily, Hartley is the Howard schellenberger of Jax so we have a good chance there. Hartley if you read this you’re killin it.

We will try to recruit some JUCO oline but let’s see if that works out. Don’t think we’ve taken any JUCOs under Richt. I’m sure we’ll hit the grad transfer market

I’ll think we should take the Miami central kid as a regardless of what happens with Kingsley. We need more competition at oline.

Evan Neal will come down to logic vs heart. Nature vs nurture. Everything else is noise. We need to win out and show him that he become a first rounder here and become a trail blazer instead of another cog in Alabama’s wheel. Neal could be a first rounder at wymoning. This kid is very dedicated and self sufficient & he doesn’t need Saban. All these coaches know the same techniques more or less.

It wasn’t Nick Saban who completely transformed Neal’s body, fitness, diet and health. It was Neal. If you come to Miami you’ll be more than fine. Alabama also doesn’t have that south Florida heat which will make you better. Come home Neal

Fat kids love their moms and Neal was a fat kid growing up. It’s going to be momma Neal and family vs Nick Saban until signing day. We’ve lost a bunch of these but I still get on the rollercoaster every **** time. Strap up

Darius Washington took his official visit here and we still have 0 crystal balls so I’m not expecting him. Would be a major pull but we haven’t had any of those recently (oline wise) so again, not expecting him.

We have no **** tackles. We need to stop being greedy. We should’ve offered the kid that’s committed to UF, W.W. The fact that our staff thinks we have the luxury to pass on a Miami kid with his physical traits is beyond me.


Take my assumptions or leave em. Interested to hear your comments

Side note: I’m going to chaminade / uschool on Friday if anyone wants to meet up PM me

Impressive

The problem I see with our recruitment is

1. We take too many commitments too early.
2. We dont really have a good true recruiter and developer of the QB position.
3. Eggs all in 1 basket is happening too much.
4. I saw you brought up Jayden Daniels but I dont think he would get enrollment into Miami. UCLA is not the favorite anymore its Utah because of his Academics and 2 other teammates of his are going there including his 6'9 Wr.
5. I understand that Wilson is a local kid but he was unimpressive during the camps and he has no senior film. His ability to even get into Miami could be another hurdle.

1. If a kid wants to be at Miami he'll be at Miami. There are a lot of early commitments that stuck because they wanted to be at Miami. There's even kids like Ahmmon and Zach who decommitted then recommitted.

I wouldn't mind making some of these kids hold on their public commitments but they clearly want to go public. If you offer a kid like Cheney and he wants to go public - can you really tell him no? That's our issue. The bigger problem than early commitments is that kids don't respect our brand more than they respect the Clemson, OSU, and Alabama's brand. How do we fix that? Winning and NFL players

2. J. Richt and CMR tag team recruit. Jon does all the heavy lifting (traveling across the country, etc etc) and CMR closes. How they develop them once they get here is another issue

3. agree

4. Intersting

5. Good points. Regardless, we need to find some tackle recruits. I know they're out there

Is Baby Richt really crisscrossing the country for recruits? I honestly believe he only visited MJJ during Spring levels. Plus honestly I dont know what we even look for at QB.

Baby Richt visited MJJ a lot. Spring evals are the most important time to visit qbs because they usually decide by the end of the summer.

I don't think we do either. We switch what we want every cycle. I think Richt prefers Arthur Sitowski/Max Johnson types but also understands that he can't afford to pass on a Jarren Williams when that 1st option doesn't hit. The only reason we got Jarren Williams is because our recruits became good friends with him at the Opening and told CMR and Williams didn't want to go to UK. That's a fact. And we still wouldn't have gotten him if Sitowski didn't decommit.
