I would've guessed OU above both Texas and LSU here ... interesting.

Dunning-Kruger effect intensifies.

Yeah - they lost those 2 OT games last year in fucky fashion but I think the more troubling thing was getting outphysicalled by both Iowa and Michigan. I'm not sure what job Fleck is waiting for but I tend to agree that either way he probably should've made a move after 2019. Starting the season off with tOSU isn't going to be a positive catalyst for the season but I still think they could roll into Iowa City at 8-1 - but they need to get that monkey off their back and beat Iowa and stop trying to out-Iowa them, just beat them on the edges and make them try to keep up. I thought he'd get a look at Auburn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think he took Elam pretty early if my memory isn't too faulty. It's not like he took him because there wasn't any talent left on the table and it was January and he needed numbers. That was the class with Kyler and Daylon so there was plenty of momentum to capitalize on. I feel like he often targets these long/tall guys that can't turn and go and then they have to position switch players to meet numbers at either CB or S. (Williams for you guys, UNC, and ND all had that happen under him). The thing is Joseph is a good recruiter. He's a really nice guy and connects well with recruits and their families. I'm not a fan of his evals or his dated coaching style, but he can recruit, connect, and close. So I think he simply did prioritize the wrong guys like Pryor, Dunning, and Elam in that one class. Notably he pursued Pryor and Dunning over DeShon Elliot (as well as Houghton, PJ Locke, McKinney). Pryor and Dunning both turned around like a tractor trailers and both were going to need to spin down at the next level. You can't take both of those kind of guys in the same class or you cripple the room - which of course is what happened. The next year they took the same basic player in Okeke - who predictably moved to LB almost immediately. I liked Oliver a lot but Fuller was another guy who didn't profile at CB (couldn't turn and go) and his career bore that out. Watts was a McKinney recruit as was Harvey but Wilson was an excellent job by Joseph. Thats' a pretty rough rolling 3 year group. His one year at UNC they only took two DBs - a 6'3" DB Caleb Rozar who can't turn around, they tried him at CB and he's now at Pearl River CC. The other, Tre Shaw, entered the portal after not cracking the 2-deep. UNC had to take 4 portal DBs on top of their high school recruits to try and replenish the room before Dre Bly's recruiting kicked in.

He doesn't make my eye twitch but he's arrived on probation after his evals at aggy led to them taking Roney Elam and the like.

Jaylon doesn't need to tread lightly, Joseph needs to handle his business. TCU has been on Guilbeau the entire time and if Joseph can't fend off TCU for Guilbeau what exactly do you think he's going to do when it comes to Harris being personally recruited by Saban? Texas is not a position to throw away a top 150 player and certainly not one that could fill several spots in the defensive backfield. Esp after losing out on a layup in Hullaby heading to Oregon. Joseph hasn't made any other contingency plans/relationships at CB (ie. Humphrey, Evans, Peoples, or Chambers). So while your list of Harris, Brooks, and Anderson would be good imagine for a moment that you lose Guilbeau to TCU and Harris goes to Alabama - then where are you?

This. Very much this. He's really good. I've said it before about other guys on those VT staffs but you can't be around a toxic environment like that for years without it eventually sticking to you. It's not Baylor/Briles bad but it's not good at all. He can clearly teach as those guys are developing under him at each stop and his evals are really good. I'd consider following around his offers to see if you could get some interest. Fuente would have a really hard time replacing him. I thought for sure that he'd end up the replacement for Henson at OkState but Gundy got Dickey who is a badass in his own right. I've talked to a few people separately on the board about this but if you want another OL coach name to file away make sure to pay attention to keep an eye on Josh Cochran. Former Horn and now OL/Co-OC under wunderkind Scotty Walden at Austin Peay. Gonna be a dynamic recruiter and he's a very detail/technique kind of guy. They were on staff together at ETBU and rolled up some insane offenses. Walden gave him playcalling duties this spring and that team evolved as the season went on and they are landing 3 star guys with legitimate g5 offers at Peay.

He’s talking about Jamarion Miller.

This is his current 247 list but it will probably change 40 more times … (UGA and Bama probably)

I truly DGAF about this situation and shouldn't reply but you do know that there is a difference between declaring bankruptcy (the ~16% stat) and being broke and/or under financial distress - the source of the original data set (78%), right? Do you think that everyone that is either broke or in financial distress declares bankruptcy?

Let me help you out- I honestly DGAF about Blue, his statistically slim NFL potential, nor do IGAF about the topic of the NFL players going broke. I do GAF about morons stumbling in from the nether shitty regions of the other surly boards that are too lazy to do a single fucking search to find an answer to their goddamn question before vomiting on the board. Congrats on eventually doing what you should've done in the first place and finding the fucking answer. Do that more if you don't want people to shit down your neck here.

first fucking google hit Sports Illustrated estimated in 2009 that 78% of NFL players go broke within two years after their career ends

I mostly hate the 9.95ers but I believe Gerry and he's given a decade + reasons for me to believe him. Occam's Razor tells me that of all recruits to throw away his credibility for -- this ain't the one chief.

I do. If you had used Ohio State as an example you’d have had a point but I think it’s one of the biggest differentiators between Clemson and the Buckeyes. Clemson has a better culture and does a better job with mental evals. They have less raw talent than tOSU but have bitchfucked them repeatedly, in big part because of the culture. tOSU finally beat them but we’ve seen it play out many more times in favor of Clemson.

That was Arjei Henderson, right? I know Arjei Henderson's dad RJ (Team Texas Elite) had to come apologize for his son at like 6 different schools after he and his bro Wease came to town. Arjei has gone from Blinn to Jacksonville State after Florida released him from his NLI because he didn't have the grades/classes complete.

I just remember thinking that he'd be a late flip to LSU. One of those kind of kids that's barely recruited until January and then LSU pays him a little attention and the flip is complete.

Will be interesting to see if Utah’s S&C program will be able to wring a little more football out of him.

They should have been from the beginning.

Anthony James and Pettaway as well.

Nahlin

that is an absolutely shocking turn of events. no one saw that coming.

At one point the recruiting services had him as the #3 recruit in the country. He ended up 72 in the end. One start and 7 tackles (2 solo) for his career to date. Now it's embarrassing to list him as a backup and they would move several players just to keep him off the field.
