Lil cjr & a fee of us finally had words over tai. In the last week hes picked up offers from 15 schools including penn st,fsu & ohio st. With clemson & bama telling him theyll offer this week. Point is everything weve told the kid from day 1 we wanted to see him personally do hes done,when we told him we wanted to see some other evals around the country,done. So i asked him the other day we ready to offer him right cause hes ready to commit. His response is theres just some things hes not feeling. Thats fine if thats the case but why not say that all along and we either get him to address it or we move on. Never bothered to express this last year but the decision to move on from sits wasnt made by cjr. He was told enough is enough. He got into his feelings over that. Many feel this is his way of responding to that which is why i say it feels like this is just an ego move. So at this point it sortve seems unless people speak up ta is gonna end up somewhere else. Which in the end with both tai & cade fortin we might end up regretting. Cade being at unc & tai well just have to see. Hopefully its not too late.
I don't mind the young fella Jon Jon doing the recruiting because he seems to do a pretty good job of that. I do, however, mind him having any sort of autonomy in the evaluation/selection process.
He's a total freshman in the game, and it's downright criminal for him to be evaluating/selecting QBs and having the final say or a big portion of the say in who we pursue. He should be told, "This is the guy we want. Now, go camp out at his school and don't come back till you get him."
I agree 100% with that. I think cmr needs to handle all final say evals & cjr can recruit em. Kids definitely relate well to him.
It sounds a lot like he's playing the "I'm only recruiting one QB, and its you" card. Thats risky as ****. Especially when the QB he's locked onto is literally on the other side of the country, has a relationship with slick willie, a father on staff at Oregon and Jon is going up against Cristobal, who knows more about Miami (even now) than Jon Richt ever will.
Dee.. what does he actually do as QB coach? Kaaya had his issues, but dude went from top pick consideration to late round nobody and at no point last year did anyone think "boy, Rosier looks bad. Good thing Jon Richt can work with him". Neither was entirely on him, but IF Kayaa had gone top 10 and Rosier hadn't flat-lined, guess which QB coach would be getting credit. I just dont see the value in having him as QB coach if his dad has to do the job for him. Mark Richt is already HC and OC.
