I suspect USC so momma can see him play.

I actually like DJ Williams the most out of all of the backs we're recruiting, but it looks like he's using his last OV on Georgia.  I like Stevenson's film.  We'll have a better recruiting pitch than OU and a later visit date.  I like our chances as long as he doesn't shut it down early.

I’m not sure any of the potential failures are on Drayton. The frequency which Herman abandoned the run this year may have more to do with it.

The massive leap in our offense's effectiveness this year was more than worth it. Our strengths were our QB and our WRs, and our thin RB depth chart should have been both a good explanation for it and an enticing situation for Cain.

Ive been slower to bury Drayton than others,  but losing Cain to Penn State is fucking ridiculous. If that’s a recruitment you can’t win, then I’m not sure what you’re here for.

Expand  

Just curious why you think it ridiculous to lose a RB to Franklin and Penn State?

We had a better year than last year. We’ve been in on some top guys. I refuse to believe we are going to close with a whimper. We are going to have a big get or two down the stretch. I can feel it.

Now - THAT - my friend, is spot on. 

You got to play to your strengths, which we did for the most part.

No. You’d have been better off not fucking his mom in the first place. But we’ve all been there.

^ This is just wrong

He previously utilized official visits to Auburn (Oct. 13), Texas (Nov. 3), Penn State (Nov. 10) and Georgia (Nov. 23). Nittany Lions coach James Franklin also welcomed him to Happy Valley in April alongside his father.

That initial Penn State visit, spurred in large part by first-year Penn State running backs coach Ja'Juan Seider, proved to be a pleasant surprise for the 5-foot-10, 212-pound prospect.

"I’m not going to lie to you — I was surprised," Cain said afterward. "When Coach Seider first got up there, I talked to my dad about checking it out. I thought, ’Well, they had Saquon Barkley up there. It can’t be that bad.’ I was expecting a decent visit but it definitely surpassed my expectations. I was blown away by everything."

Seider, who previously pursued Cain on behalf of the Florida Gators, has helped place Penn State in an increasingly enviable position within this recruitment since personally presenting an offer last January.

The Barkley effect also shouldn't be overlooked.

“Coach Franklin was telling me about how they built Saquon’s brand at Penn State,” he said this spring. “Saquon was the perfect guy for their program and he can be the face of football. He was really selling me on all the off-field things that make Saquon so special, not just what he can do as a player. That’s big for my family and I.”

His parents journeyed to Penn State in July, without him, for Lasch Bash barbecue festivities. In November, Cain attended the Nittany Lions' victory over Wisconsin.

Last Friday, Franklin reunited with Cain and his family for in-home visit. Soon afterward, 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong placed a Crystal Ball pick for Penn State to ultimately sign him.

That was the first of four consecutive prognostications that point toward PSU as his collegiate landing spot. Notably, one of those selections came Wednesday from 247Sports Texas insider Mike Roach. The Longhorns lead his Crystal Ball with 50 percent of predictions.

Though Cain has attended high school in Florida and Texas, he considers Baton Rouge, La., home. His willingness to explore opportunities regardless of region has always stood out.

Yup. They were always the 3rd or 4th team mentioned in every article about him, probably because of pedo's lack of much track record in beating Texas and UGA for sun belt kids.

Afterthought according to him or a bunch of stalkers who don’t know shit? Homerism (for the sake of generating clicks) runs deep in the $9.95 world and Penn State could have been among his leaders for some time now. All these writers make ass-sumptions based on a few quotes and we take it as gospel. Meanwhile, multiple team’s discussion boards all read the same way regarding their confidence in landing a certain prospect.

There is really no bigger indictment of how awful our run game was than looking at OU's depth chart and realizing that they were rushing for 300 yards a game with their 3rd and/or 4th string running backs.

Better line, but they also forced teams to account for a prolific passing attack and a highly mobile QB.  Opens things up.  When OU absolutely "HAD" to run the ball, i.e. short yardage situations, they struggled some.

Yeah they just had a better offense, full stop. Sigh.

TFB update on Trey Sanders and Drayton (from 12/12)

So basically this is exactly what CTJ has said  - Texas likes their chances with Sanders and McCoy more than anyone thinks they should and they are basically 'all in' on those two.

But we're doing this by sending a coach who is interviewing for another job on the same day that he tells a kid he should come to Texas.  And McCoy's lead recruiter is allegedly one of the favorites for the JMU job.  So that's interesting.
