I'll say Jimbo's legacy is in trouble...he's had YEARS to build his roster...

for these losses in 2022??

OUCH.

I agree. Team has regressed. It's hard to ignore that class he brought in last year though. I think if he has another year like this next year, he's on the hot seat officially. Sub-par 2024 he's out. They're gonna give him a chance to let this "best class ever" show if its going to pan out.

if mario beats FSU and lands the top two tackles in the country, it'll offset a lot of the bad vibes

we gotta look competent to beat FSU. they've been losing but they've at least looked decent in their losses. we just look like were dunces out there.

im only counting kids that have verbally committed. I say that bc we were told staff felt good about bonsu, Tyler Williams, Achiempong, etc. and they all went elsewhere. CJ has been teasing a commitment but nothing nd kinda went dead for a while. Samson is still quiet so nothing to gain from there for now.

thats not moving goal posts bc the staff has gotten beat on kids they felt strongly about.

I said we aren't in line for 7 bc we aren't 7 now. were 11. were not in line for a 7th ranked class bc we aren't 7th now and we dont have a commit since the summer. were 11th. in line for that. thats all. guys will jump us or move below us pending on the rankings and other factors, but right now were in line for a top 11 class. I think we finish around 8-12 but that was before getting skull ****ed by ****** teams and likely going 4-8, 5-7.

im saying our biggest win will be beaitng duke bc its a joke lol. we just got rocked by them. w a huge talent advantage and YOE from our staff compared to there's (they actually have our old fired staffers on their staff).

hoops. Can we say we're in line for a top 8 class since that's where we are currently? Would hate to speculate and say we're in line for anything higher than that even though Cormani just jumped on board ya' know? Alot of things happen in recruiting. Very fluid.

I mean Cormani took all of us by surprise. I’ll gladly be wrong if we land better players. Cormani is amazing and such a great day after three months of misery.

It did get us all by surprise. Many people don't realize the magnitude of this commitment beyond the sheer talent of the kid. When a whale like this commits to a class, it attracts more top talent. I hate to use "the second wave" because its become a running joke, but this could very well be the catalyst we need to bring in more top talent and close this class REALLY STRONG. Not saying that we're gonna end up any higher though you know? lol

my wife doesn't like sports and she tells me you guys got cormani lol.

I think this second wave had to do w bonsu the other S achiempong etc. which never panned out.

this would be the third wave?

I hope we end up in the top 5. I thought wed end up 8-12 but that didnt include Cormani. I wrote him off a while ago bc hes from lakeland lol and we stunk.

lets see what we do at RB and WR to close it out.

look im not always miserable lol. this season took a lot out of me bc my expectations were rellly high. give me some OC and DC changes and a strong class we back!

It took alot out of me too man. But my message, even before Mario, was always clear. At some point, you have to bring in a class that's going to buy in to being the change in the program. It can't happen without talent. Top 5 would be absolutely amazing. There is a path to number one based on the names of the guys in play that we are recruiting but I won't get ahead of myself lol Just take it day by day.

I’m good with Steele. Mental mistakes by Kam won’t be an ongoing issue. Upgrades at CB, DE, MLB will jump this D to an all new level.

I think Steele should move off field. I just dont know if he has it in him to be the recruiter Mario needs him to. be.

i actually really like this idea move him off field in an analyst role kinda like stroud.

We are about to sign the best class since 2008 and you think Steele is holding Mario back? If he does move to an analyst role, I would rather use that coaching spot for WR and promote Strong to DC.
