DL coaching search...Florida Planning to Hire Tulane's Gerald Chatman

I didn't say any the things you are implying. All I said was that recruiting ranking are indicators of who is getting the best talent. Of course, part of the equation is developing the talent you get and we've been deficient in that area as well. But to say that recruiting ranking don't is simply ridiculous. Back when our commit class was ranked #3, a lot of poster who crowing about that. But now that we've dropped to $16, the rankings don't matter. Interesting.

 

Totally agree. The portal is how Mike Norvell turned around FSU so quickly. He found quality players who could step into void on their existing roster and not only start, but be some of his better players. To me, working the transfer portal has become just as important as recruiting high school kids.

 

I'm sure Billy was a cracker-jack recruiter when he was at Bama. Of course any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be a cracker-jack recruiter while working at Bama.

 

Pardon me, but I somehow made a wrong turn. If you could be so kind to point to the message thread concerning Gerald Chatman, it would be most appreciated!

 

Not from me. I have always said "trust the coach...until you don't."

Again, for your purview, you DO realize that those darn 3-star talents (allegedly) brings down rankings against "those other rankings", correct? And so, why do we do it and try to sign them?

 

Who?
