Title: I took a look at Kiffin's class - wow! Post by: Volznut on August 09, 2012, 07:49:26 EDT Basically 7 guys are left from that class, with 1 starter. You can see why we have struggled to get wins. You can't have back to back classes like this one and the one before.

We've discussed this before, but recruiting 4* and 5* players doesn't mean squat if you can't keep them. That means academic ability, discipline, and commitment end up being critical. Better to have the #25 class and keep nearly all of them for four years than to sign a top 10 class that ends up like that one. I think that starts with who you decide to recruit, but continues only with the commitment of your staff and program to the players that you bring in. With that said, high five to the seven Kiffin recruits (and nine Fulmer recruits) that remain. Significant contributors or not, they have at least stuck things out for the Big Orange.

11 starters, 19 guys remain, and none have been dismissed. Key reason we will be better this year than last.

Post by: BanditVol on August 10, 2012, 05:32:44 EDT That's true but at least we have some depth at DB left. Of which we have 8 DBs that have started a game. That is some serious depth tho I am not sure of the quality.

Post by: BanditVol on August 10, 2012, 07:57:11 EDT :wtf: lol. You caught me trying Swype for the first time ever on my mobile. With the editor we have on this site, not a good match. not a good match for mobiles in general, actually. the window tends to move around while typing which is really irritating. I wonder if tapa talk will fix that? |
