    I like the kid. I love the fact that he's peer recruiting too!!!

    Now we just have to wait and see if there's anything to it actually

     

    I don't doubt the fact that he's trying. Even if he can't be a deciding factor for some recruits, I think he certainly opens the doors for others. Either way, I think we are stronger with him than without him. His connection with Bookie is huge, not the mention the connections we had prior to Tyjon being here. Things certainly appear to be looking up!

    CJ will be N.

     

    Oregon just landed another 4 star RB.

    who was that?
    Check twitter. I can't pronounce or spell his name. Cali guy.

    check twitter, but you cant spell his name? wth. :facepalm:

    Was trying to be lazy.

     

    Well now that i see his last name, i don't blame you. Those poor announcers!

  3. Is he 100% healthy now? Was his injury knee related or shoulder related? That will be a big factor if he plays as a true freshman.

    It was his knee. He could have played on it the rest of his senior season, he didn't want to risk it. He will be good to go!

    Not sure the issue some have with Diaco though I don't know much about him. I thought Notre Dame had a really good defense when he was in charge. Some people are a lot better coordinators than head coaches, his lack of success as head coach of Uconn isn't a red flag for me

    I agree. He's a Broyles award winner that had a scoring defense that never ranked worse than 27th all four years at Notre Dame and he's coveted by another P5 school. I don't think we are going to land a candidate with better credentials than that.

     

     

    He had one year of a top-ten defense as a DC, this was the year he won the Broyles award, and 3 years where his defenses averaged around 60th in the nation. His defenses at UConn also sucked, and as head coach you would think that is the area he would excel. As a head coach he was 11-26. If we want a mediocre hire, then Diaco would be your man. I am hoping Arkansas picks him up soon.

     

    In his 4 years at DC for Notre Dame, his defenses never ranked below 27th.... I could care less what he did as a HC.... BECAUSE WE AREN'T LOOKING FOR HIM AS A FRIGGIN' HC.

     

     

    That is flat out wrong. Here is a link to the 2010 defense rankings for the season. Notre Dame was 53rd in the country. At Cincy the year before his defense was 81st. I'm not saying he didn't have a good year in 2012, but making a selection based upon one good year is not what we should be doing. Banker had one or two good years at Oregon State as well. Now I am looking at yards allowed per game, so there are certainly different variables that can be considered. If you simply look at scoring defense, the numbers are better, but then when you continue to look at scoring defense, UConn was terrible in 2014 and 2016 in the country. If that is his specialty, then that should be reflected in the output on the field even when he is a head coach.

    My bad, you're right. They were only top 25 in points allowed per game. But at the same token, look at Bo's last years. How about that defense!
