Yeah, it's more of an accumulated frustration. One bad year, who cares. It just seems for several years we haven't recruited at a high level, and for the past few we haven't even recruited at a mediocre level. Maybe I've become too jaded by that.

I'll eat crow on a few things. 1) I was looking at 2024 individuals, not 2025. 2) I 100% agree that you can't accurately assess talent from 2,200 transfer kids, in addition to a quarter million high school kids. Because of that, it's inevitable that diamond in the rough kids will exists...

My argument is, you try to get as many of the best players in the country as possible (4 and 5 stars, heck even some three stars), and fill the holes with diamond in the rough guys. Obviously, we aren't going to get them all, or even a majority of them. Look at the list at the link, we have ZERO...

Man, you completely missed my point. I didn't say I don't like small school guys. Some of our best players have come from small schools, and I think our staff does maybe the best job in the country finding those guys. The point I'm making is because we have success there, that shouldn't be the...

This post certainly spiraled. I think boards are the perfect place for hot takes and sports opinions. I've been out on MG for about 5-6 years, and remember specifically telling a friend (UT fan) that we needed to move on because MG would either be good/never great, or eventually run it into the...

It's not that I think we shouldn't recruit those guys, but to only recruit guys from lower levels is foolish. We are better than most at finding success with those guys, but I think we would all agree if you have two linebacker recruits, you'd rather have the larger faster one over the slower...

Maybe, maybe not. I think we're ok at the QB position. To me the bigger risk is that we have taken exactly one player from a major conference in the portal. Looking at the list below from PFB, I'm left asking myself what we're doing. Do we legitimately have a strategy for making our team better...

That's a wild statement unless you know him personally.

I agree with that, and how the Portal is a disaster. However, Morris is a one-year player and you know that, so he doesn't help you in this situation. Flores seems to be unusually loyal in this era of college football, so there might be an opportunity we retain him if he has a great year.

I would say they were very similar coming out of high school: Flores: 2022 MaxPreps Nebraska Player of the Year … Led his team to the Class A state championship game in his senior season and threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns in that contest … Senior season stats include 3,117 yards and...

I hear you. The track record for Gundy playing the right QB tends to lean towards the former rather than the latter. More likely, Flores was the clear cut answer and his foot injury wouldn't let the flip the switch on it.

When you look at the rankings. The highest rated guys have been the ones that have played for us, and usually some of the main contributors on the team. This is a really interesting hire for several reasons 1) I've never seen a school have two OL coaches, now we have Bassett and Mitchell. How...

I'm glad to see this for him and for us. We already have a full QB room next year that will be somewhat of a circus from a competition standpoint. Having one more person trying to get snaps will make it that much more complicated. Maybe I'm wrong on him, but unless he's an NFL level guy, I'd...

11 years ago. Then he put together a body of work that was unenviable.
