Great post! QB is the most important position on the field. Clemson had nice pieces of the puzzle before Watson got there, but they weren't even in the discussion until Watson emerged. Watson was recruit zero for Clemson. Lawrence was phenomenal and kept the program going. I'm not sure DJ can keep it going for them (I hope he sucks and they fall off the map).
Yeah it really seems to vary by school and area. It shows how you can't really generalize about how "hard" a school recruits. Every school has limited resources and prioritizes different places. Then there's Bama, who multiple coaches confirmed as just swooping in to steal the top guys by winning over the handlers (gee I wonder how).
And signing King was a huge part of the difference between the horrid 2019 campaign and the 2020 campaign. Now you have Van Dyke and Garcia in the wings, and the QB position has crazy potential.
Which is why the year is so interesting. We've got the best QB room we've had in, literally, decades, and we've got this year's QB commit recruiting. We'll see what impact that actually has on recruiting.
They drop their bags with precision while Georgia just carpet bombs everyone.
That dude Bresee looked like a grown *** man as a true freshman without a normal summer when we played them last year and Murphy didn't look far off from that either.
Need to change those other assistants ASAP. Next off season hopefully
The fight for Florida: Can UF, UM and FSU turn things around against Alabama and other formidable recruiters (including UCF)?
Times have changed for the "Big 3," whose turf has been invaded by out-of-state programs. Coaches and evaluators assess the situation.theathletic.com
Interviews with 10 anonymous (you can deduce some of them) HS coaches and 2 local talent evaluators about recruiting in Florida. If you don't have an Athletic sub you should get one or I can send a code for a free trial. Or I can answer specific questions.
Mixed reviews for Diaz and Miami generally, but a lot more positive than negative. Same thing for Mullen/UF. FSU given positive marks but with the caveats that they're digging out of a deep hole. Lots of universal praise for TRob and DVD. Lashlee and Likens also well thought-of. Field mentioned once, otherwise no other assistants spoken of.
Idk how Patke is still on staff. You won't find any support for him from me.
You're borderline slurping Bama bro...come on now.
He needs to go like yesterday I don't care how good he teaches. There is two parts to the cfb job and recruiting goes above x and O's imo. U can't teach ****** to be great.....he needs to bring the elite and so far him and MD have been real bad at that spot tbh.
It's the truth when they target or cherry pick we should be on the guy like flies on ****. They used to do that to us back in the day when we were king of evals.
Surprised no mention of Hickson. He has killed it in RB recruiting.
