Yeah , you are right. He should be recruiting transfers from those major powers that produced Dalton Knecht for Tennessee and Mark Sears for Alabama. At least McMahon got the last name right, huh?


Mark Sears had a BPR of 4.55 at Ohio before transferring to Bama. That made him a Top 150 player before even showing up on campus. Dalton Knecht is very interesting and certainly outperformed any expectations this year at Tenn. He went from not even rating in the Top 1500 players in '23 to being a solid contributor at Tenn this season. He was obviously a good fit for there system but still only rated out as the 6th best player on the team.

I was responding to the poster's mocking of Jordan Sers school. There are good players at every level, some at smaller schools for various reasons. The portal has been great in giving those players a chance to immediately prove themselves in a larger stage.

Look dude I get that you really like the advanced metrics like EvanMiya but at some point you have to take your eyes off of the metrics and actually watch the game. I don't care what an advanced metric says, Knecht was by far Tennessee's best player. And considering his stats and accolades, I would argue that that's not an opinion but a fact. I have no idea whether Sears will work out at LSU or not. But I see you in countless threads on players just simply throwing out their metric rating to judge a player. Its an aspect but there is so much more to judging a player than simply what a calculator says
