Date Title Body
26 weeks 6 days ago Well...

the evidence would seem to suggest yes.

31 weeks 4 days ago Here's the thing...

I completely agree Devin has the potential to be a greater threat in the passing game.  I also agree that this is exactly what is needed to help the offense be more balanced against better defenses long-term.

However... we still have no true running game outside of Denard.  So until a true power running game emerges, Gardner in as the QB only works if Denard is right there beside him ready to take direct snaps, options, etc and provide the running threat.  And ultimately Devin is not ready yet anyway.

This season you have to stick with Denard because he's gotten us to 6-1 and Devin could still use more time.  NOW, next season, having Devin in the shotgun with Denard alongside him in the backfield is scary.  You get the best of both worlds... better passing and Denard's ability to run. 

Honestly, I think a situation like this is inevitable because I don't see Denard's passing improving enough with another year to rule out Devin, and I don't think 1 year is enough time to fix the OL and running game in order to not need Denard's running ability in the game at all times.

Simply put, Denard is our best overall option this year... next year I like Devin but you still can't have 1 without the other until we start to see development in other areas like the OL.

34 weeks 1 day ago Borges has been everywhere...

and I guarantee he's had HC opportunities before... if that's what he wanted, he'd have done it by now, so not concerned there.  Plus he's in a good situation with a head coach who doesn't seem to micro manage his coordinators.  OC at Michigan > HC at UNM.

48 weeks 1 day ago Certainly I think there are exceptions to this...

such as cases where a kid might make his intentions fully known to the coaches but keep it private so that their teammates and program continue to get attention during the recruiting process.  I could maybe see this kind of situation with a guy like Jordan Diamond... I was thinking I remembered some talk that this was why Chris Bryant didn't commit earlier.

48 weeks 1 day ago ok...

where did I make it sound like that wasn't entirely just an opinion?  I've heard talk alluding to what I said and I choose to believe it.  Feel free to believe whatever you want.  If speculation wasn't allowed, this board would be mostly empty.

48 weeks 1 day ago I think the coaches kinda view a "silent commitment"

as a kid telling them he's going to be publicly announcing his commitment in the near future.  If a kid isn't ready to do that (Morgan's case) then their commitment can't be very strong and the staff is willing to move on.

48 weeks 1 day ago Sounds like Keenan didn't impress

much at camp the last couple days, so not at all surprised if the staff let him know he wasn't very high on their list.

1 year 19 weeks ago Several LSU commits have UM offers...

and since the buyout is already in Miles contract, I would imagine LSU has discretion to wave or enforce that for whatever reason they choose, accepting commitments from kids currently committed to LSU being a point they might wave/enforce it over.

1 year 26 weeks ago Look at all the 4+ star players

Carr recruited who didn't pan out on defense... there were a TON.  And very few players with less than 3 stars ever developed into contributors under Carr.

IMO, Carr got more credit for recruiting when in reality a lot of guys under-developed under him.  I think what we will see under RR is that he will get a few less 4 star players each year (the difference above is like 2.5 players a year) but I believe he will get more out of the 3 star players he signs... I can already see Carvin Johnson and Courtney Avery developing into good players down the road.

RR's problem has been numbers.  My one beef would be I think he oversigned on offense and undersigned on defense his first couple years, but its not like he had a crystal ball to foresee all the transfers and injuries the team has dealt with.  If he just gets the numbers right, I have no doubt he'll bring in talent regardless how many stars they have.

1 year 26 weeks ago Tony Jefferson is a LB

and he picked OU in December... Dorsey was still committed to Florida into January.  Dorsey did not scare away anyone.  He was a backup plan as the coaches saw Sean Parker cooling on UM before he picked Washington.
