That thread made a lot of sense how @Coach Macho broke it down. Too many kids locally are asked to play out of natural positions due to sheer necessity on their teams. And lots of the local schools don't have the resources to hire the legit coaches who can properly teach the nuances of the LB position. Local kids at that spot have a huge learning curve/disadvantage compared to out of area + OOS kids.
Any word on Tyler Atkinson
I wouldn’t say our DL recruiting is elite.
The 25’ debacle lit a fire under his *** and new people making decisions on evaluations will do that to you. It is a shame it took this long.
Hes done a nice job cultivating relationships in this class. Some more organization in the building as well. Need to keep track record of winning. Hope we get a nice draft class. The Uga’s and OSUs of the world have negatively recruited us into oblivion on draft picks and development. Hoping we get 5-6 drafted and 3 in the first 100 picks feels possible with cam, arroyo and mayyybe Martinez
Not where I’d like it but improved lol
Well then recruit LBs out of state
he gone
That's certainly part of it but not all of it. Florida isn't the only state that suffers from what we do. That being said, I would like to see the staff ramp up their efforts in Texas and California in addition to states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Alabama plus a few more.
I totally get that, and why those 2 bozos Smart and Day would negative recruit us, but Mario has enough track record as a HC having players drafted he can combat it for most part.
I miss this.
I agree. Since Mario has been here, I am not impressed with our evaluations. Too many misses and prioritizing kids who didn’t work out and transferred.
