5* CB Desmond Ricks down to UF, LSU, and Bama. Commitment date 12/23/22

Kirby built his team in a similar way to what CBN is trying to do. Starting with the defense and the line of scrimmage amd then the RB's and so on. Remember his offense was similar to the offense Saban started out with, nothing fancy, just a nasty defense, big guys up front with a power running game, a QB that doesn't make game costing mistakes and then sprinkle in some WR's. After Bama and UGa were sound on defense and the line of scrimmage is when they started to add in the elite offensive playmakers. I feel CBN is following that same type of building model.

 

Remember he then chose to continue to stick with Fromm over 5 star phenom Justin Fields who later transferred. He then did it again with Bennett over 5 star transfer JT Daniel's. Those guys learned from a method that has proven to be both successful and sustainable long term once implemented.

 

What about Dexter? Does anybody want to see him at DE besides me? Dexter Watson and McClellon all plying next to eachother

 

So you’re pissed that I’m pissed that we keep losing elite recruits that we desperately need to that toad faced sh*t bag down in scUM and that nobody (staff, admin or boosters) is doing anything to solve the problem?

 

I remember thinning the same thing then seeing he’s graded like an all SEC DT in the first half but not the second half….combined with playing considerably more snaps than most high level DTs.

But youre right, I never *see* him standing out. I just think if he was purely pass rushing he would be a MONSTER

 

I'm "pissed" that you complain about the same thing incessantly. No one is happy about losing players like that, but the only thing for most of us on this board to do is realize there's other stuff going on behind the scenes that for some reason doesn't let us play the same game. Whether it'll work or not it's to be seen, but the same exact rant for months and months doesn't really add anything to the conversation.

If they're being cautious about how everything shakes out with NIL, that's fine. If they're worried about creating unruly locker room dynamics, that's fine too. If the will is there to pay for these players but no one with the money to do it, that's a problem. But the kicker is that no one here knows what's going on. So playing the same note gets really really old after a while.

Yes it's frustrating, but just because you don't see or hear about anyone doing anything doesn't mean nothing is happening.

 

Well we’re about to lose Andy Jean now so….

 

Its gonna get real with UM when FSU beats them by 20....you cant sell that sunshine in a rainstorm.

 

And if we do we do..his loss...I agree with Shnicker..worrying and complaining doesn't do anything does it except stir the pot and annoy everyone..it really is out of our, the fans control...not much we can do...
I try to do my part...continue with my season tickets and booster donations ( since 1985) and other support and donations....hopefully others that post do the same...at least support the team even if by being constructively positive

 

Really? I didn't get that from his thread. But it's to be expected when other staffs are talking to WRs about our lack of a passing QB. Who couldn't see it coming? Not to mention, if another school is going to match or exceed our NIL offer, it's going to happen. Staff surely knows this. Man, if Kitna can do better, I wish the staff would play him.

 

On3 prediction for Lsu

 

It happens to EVERY school win some lose some not over til pen hits paper

 

If it happens, it happens. There's nothing anyone can do, other than winning the Powerball and buying players ourselves. That's what I'm going for.

Otherwise, following recruiting is just an absurd game of telephone with very little payoff. And I still can't stop chasing it.

 

Yeah-If I win the Publishers Clearing House or Powerball ..I will see what I can do to help with our recruiting

 

I’ll take em to the rigs in the off-season

 

So Miami?
