Oh we don’t sign 4 and 5 stars still? Lol
Guys like Gurvan, Pope, Cam, silvera, Blades etc... these guys have to ball out and see them develop and be like **** they’ve gotten better at Miami I need to go there and increase my skill
We already see it with Greg... how many interviews immediately point to him and say **** seeing Greg ball out shows me that Miami’s Dline EATS I’m listening to what stroud and the staff is selling me
Can’t have guys like Chad be a big time kid from a feeder that kids look up too and see him go jn the 3rd
I’ve pointed this out before. Not every 4 and 5 star goes day one. Even at bama and lsu.
Do we put players in situations to succeed? Not with cmr and Dan ****. But we hype up any dude that is a 4 star like they should automatically be a day one starter and an all American just because they’re on our team.
Bama gets dudes in the draft while their back ups are also 4 and 5 stars and everyone forgets about them. If every 4 and 5 star that went to bama would go day one they should have 9-10 go day one each year. I think in the last several years we’ve only landed 2 legit 5 stars. Lo and Thomas, while bama and Clemson get like 4-5 a year.
In 2014 chad Thomas was rated the 29th best player in the country. Alabam took 6 players ranked higher than him in that class alone. Did you hear that?! 6 of the freaking top players in the country!!! Cam Robinson 2nd rd, Dashawn Hand 4th round, Marlon Humphries and Rashan Evans 1st rd, Christian Miller 4th round, Tony Brown UNDRAFTED!!!
Chad Thomas 3rd round! Not bad right?
We should have dudes go earlier if our coaching staff had been better and if a lot of dudes would’ve stayed for one more year.
We put dudes in the league cause scouts know what to look for. What we have sucked at is putting W’s together with the talent we have. But what we haven’t had is a lot of day one picks.
But not even bama who everyone says has the best head coach and “puts players in a position to succeed” can get every single 4 and 5 star drafted day one despite getting a fck ton of them. Despite wining, despite playoffs year after year, despite a ton of tv time to expose them.
So why are people surprised when we do t do it?
