Time to worry I think!

Oh I know!

Bo knows!! sideline drama.

What does this mean in terms of peat?

Or maybe your just dumb for the sake of being dumb!!

Pay friggin attention Mr. Paul Crew!! I'm not in love with the cottons and you'd know if you could-ahem-would read my posts!!! I'm against their free ride as I am with Mr schoff!! Get over yourself BUD!!

Scout has him a 2* WR!

Ok 2 weeks from NLI day and we still have just 11 commits. Color me concerned. In addition to the low(as of now) numbers but it seems we have opened up our recruitment to several lower rated prospects giving some of us on HB the indication we are gonna miss out on our high priority guys. Time to sound the alarm??? Well if we could land Peat and Fuller I say mission accomplished!! And I'm under the impression we will get a couple more DBs so.... Let's all cross our fingers have another shot and pray for the best!! GBR!!!

Sorry Frustration Took Over And I Just Couldn't Stop Typing !!!!!!!!'

Whoa... Harsh words for crick.. I think suh benefitted from having crick by him in 09. Crick was good enough that suh couldn't be doubled every play!

First off I'm a recent addition to this wonderful forum. And as far as me thinking I should be coaching well yeah your right I would do things differently if I were in charge but so would everyone on HB. Kinda the point in an open forum format. It gives us a chance to voice our POV from all angles. And in this case my point is from a what I would do if I were the HC not "listen To my ideas they are better than Bos and he should be fired for not doing it my way." you take what you read waaaaayyyy too seriously and my guess is you should take yourself a little less serious as well.... You wanna call me out for having an opinion on what I have seen from this team over the last 30 years. And where I "think" we can get better or better use our resources is JMO. Doesn't have to be yours too. I'm not trying to bring you To my side, just stating a wwid scenario... Anyhoo. Back to the cottons. It's simple IMO don't waste schollies on marginal players especially one that if left you could fine 10 more with equal talent. I want the staff to reserve the schollies for the best "players" regardless of position. Especially considering we have no depth at several other key positions. TE being a little down the list as far as priorities. How about recruiting DEs that also played tight end. 2 birds 1 stone. Versatility should be more prevalent in future recruits. Let ben cotton go or walk on and maybe we use the schollies back then that would allow us to focus on the entire team this year as opposed to 4 LBs and maybe 4-5 DBs. Shouldn't have to recruit so heavy to one area. They should be more spread out on your roster ie. We got 2 so. 2jrs and 2 fresh. Coming back at linebacker or running back etc. Unlike our problems say at RB where we got 1 sr. 3 so. A jr college transfer. I want improve this team from the inside out and if you scroll up I did admit maybe we missed on some recruits or whiffed completely. I agree that if Barney wasn't on staff but still from the state they would all be walk ons.

Did this thread get renamed or am I having a Deja vu moment??? Been discussed already to death!!!!

And I'm saying use that schollie on a different position and treat the tight end like we do the fullback. Get walkons authentic end measurables. Have em walk and and develope that position.

Coulda gotten some quality at other positions. And ben walks on and earns his schollie while we have built depth at more important positions say... Quarterback or runningback or defensive line or linebacker or secondary... But I digress! By all means let's use up a scholarship the fifth best tight end on our board just to say we gave our all our scholarships!! Hey at least we're trying huh?

6-6!!

Where the hell is Yosh???

Atta boy lyell!

Preferred walk on as in I prefer if you walk on!

Back up!!! Exactly. Our problem is we've been taking too many of these "fillers" lately. Let him walk on and if he reaches the potential that is deserving of a schollie then give him one... A post grad schollie!

And don't get it twisted. I'm happily surprised at their production. But they are scholarship so it's expected. If they were walk ons like alot of think they should be then their rise would be clamor worthy. You are backing your argument with their productivity when in all actuality their productivity is counterproductive to your argument!!! Stay with me!!! You are arguing that they are schollie worthy players that if not offered by NU would be significant players somewhere else and there would be a huge void on this years squad. When in actuality their minimal production proves that since the cottons ARE scholarship players that the staff misused these scholarships. They should have went to better players and now because they are somewhat useful players, they are clogging up the depth chart and preventing better players from much needed experience on the field.

This statement highlights how we've missed on some recruits or were wrong about others. The cottons if our highly recruited guys were panning out or weren't injured would be toiling away as 3rd or 4th string guys where most walk ons should be.

No way he gets drafted. Might catch on somewhere as a FA and then fades to black. Best chance. Special teams or long snapper or some obscure position like holding the 3rd team tight ends helmet until he's needed!

Sam shouldn't have gotten an offer. Just an opp. To walk on. Same with his brothers! Ben and Jake are solid but not spectacular players and the fact that our O-line struggled and we have no significant playmakers at tight end on the roster blurrs your vision to the this fact that we are down at those positions. If we had a dominant Oline would Jake be on the 2 deep. If we had a more Balanced offensive attack to where we would attract high profile tight ends would ben be much more than an early down or jumbo set blocker. Vision being blurred by mediocrity. Makes the minimal strides of barely above average players seem like leaps and bounds when it's the lack of a significant gap between said players and their star laden counterparts that is the most telling of our dire situation!!

Someone please start a 3-3-5 defense thread already so we can let this one go!!

Who if anyone is this guy being recruited by from our staff?
