CB recruiting has been an absolute mess.

Does Golden even realize we only have 5 CBs on the roster? Howard and Crawford will be SRs, Burns and Elder JRs, Mayes (who was a major reach) a RS FR.

We need at least 3 in this class and it sure seems like if we miss on Lewis that it will only be Jackson in 2015.

Jackson and Lewis are solid pickups.... It's not miami fault that tyrek cole f_cked up. Otherwise he would be in this class....

There are a ton of solid CBs prospects that we aren't even recruiting in SFla. If we strike out with Lewis we are F'd again. A 2 year haul of Mayes and Jackson is pathetic, add in Lewis and it's still mediocre at best.

Ironically Al was complaining about only having 6 CBs on the roster in an article recently.

How is Jackson pathetic? He was the top db in the Alabama vs Mississippi game and has great length. Watch his tape. Marcus Lewis is an elite athlete that has great size and speed. In the mold of Artie burns but faster with better ball skills.

And Marcus Lewis is not commited to us and might very well not sign here.
I think the point is that we did not recruit enough CB . That we didn't offer viable local CB.

Curious that you think that... He had a great visit to miami and list miami as his leader and on top of that he said he probably wont visit any other schools and could decide in the next week or nsd. All signs point to miami especially with cager coming here as well...
 
Bleak visions coming soon
I doubted what he posts for a while, but then most of it come to fruition.
Kinda scary for the state of the U when he writes them

Stop with this man....

I have stopped, for the short term with my outspoken disapproval of AG and the Administration,
As for bleak, go read some of them from last year and if you can find them prior years, and tell me how wrong he was...
 
Even if Lewis ends up committing here, landing a total of 3 CBs in a two-year span with only 1 being a premier talent is unacceptable. Two of them (Mayes and Jackson) were Golden/D'Onofrio/Williams camp finds, which shouldn't fill anyone with optimism given this staff's abysmal track record with the Golden camp.

And it's great to add size at CB, but they're completely ignoring sub-6'0" corners yet again due to their size bias and nonsensical belief that it's wiser to match up a strong safety (Carter) against Tyler Boyd vs. Pitt and have Darrion Owens drop 25+ yards into coverage against South Carolina's #1 WR (Cooper) in the bowl game.

Golden did recently make another excuse in regards to sanctions affecting depth, saying most programs have 10 scholarship CBs while we only have 5. Well, that's what happens when you only land Ryan Mayes in one cycle and follow that up by neglecting several UM caliber corners in your own backyard (T. McFadden, Fenton, Hoggins, Causey, Redwine, etc). It's self-inflicted mistakes causing these depth issues at corner, not scholarship reductions.

^^THIS. We'll probably offer Fenton or Hoggins on signing day. And Al will be left alone at the alter again. You can't make this **** up.

That may very well be and he signs here.
But you can't count on that happening untill it does.
Not the first time we thought we lead for a recruit only to see him go elsewhere come signing day.
Not good policy to put all your eggs in one bascket.
Point remains that the staff didn't recruit enough CB's. Considering the viable local CB's they didn't offer.
 
Pete, what do you think about Brendan loftus. I don't know enough to say that he is or isn't good but the majority of people on CIS say that he is not Miami caliber. What do you think?

we will land him. Leading with less than 2 weeks out and cager coming and a chance for immediate playing time..

Now if gluten can recruit some DTs, we can really do something.

Also, no staff changes coming I see....

Manny said a lot of boosters have been saying blake james has told them that changes will be made after signing day.

I wouldn't wait on that ****.

If this is actually true, then we're in even bigger trouble than I thought.

Doesn't this seem slimy to anyone else? Have an assistant coach recruit a kid and get him to sign with the U and then fire the guy right after signing day occurs?

I just don't see any way that this is going to happen.

It's a slimy buisness

I see you was feeling extra spicy today. Good ol balance.

Seriously...... who the **** is this Black Vern? You obviously have no affiliation with any sort of recruiting sight. Stop pretending you're in the know when you don't know ****. And stop saying the word, "Crootin."

Considering everything is free, I don't think Pete is selling scripts.

go check those bleak visions, peep the date on threads and compare with current events. Vern knows what he is talking about

Well a lot of his statements in this instance are going by assumptions

well nobody bats 1.000 in recruiting but I think he has enough hits to show he has some legit contacts

Well he said in his post he has no connections with scarletts recruitment so its all assumptions, very possible assumptions but assumptions none the less

Do you have trouble with reading comprehension? I said a 2 year haul of Mayes and Jackson is pathetic, which it is. I didn't say anything about Jackson specifically.
 
Yall underestimating jackson, the kid can ball, id take him over a lot of local kids down here, id take him over redwine and fenton

Brad Kaaya is the only thing that we have going for us

Didn't people say that with Phillips too.
This is the rundown:
If Johhny Frasier goes on a OV to FSU then we are good with Scarlett. If Frasier doesn't go on the OV to FSU then Scarlett is gone. If Scarlett cancels his OV to FSu start dancing..
 
I understand the love for tall corners and all, but I also feel like you need those 5'9-5'10 guys also.

Now the board is reduced to taking pot shots at Pete. Is no one off limits? College kid just asking around and sharing FREE info. Here's an idea, why doesn't Vern post his mug and let the folks weigh in.

This board is being over run with mopes. Pete doing his job and sharing REAL info with us and not just anything like some others....
 
People say the dumbest ****. Gus won't be the best back the ************ got passed by yearby last year.

**** funny how people dogging yearby now because he doesn't have cook type speed.
 
I'd be very pleased if we can lock up Lewis, Calloway and Devonte Davis. Extremely pleased with a couple DT's like Green, Scott and Norton. Any combination of the two.
