Ruh Roh Rorge - James Cregg upping his recruiting game

I support this thread.

Great that Cregg is putting that out there. As much shite as Brewster is getting he is is well known with his recruiting abilities. He's one of the reasons that FSU was able to get Marvin Wilson to sign.

Link or Cliffs for those of us who missed the fireworks? What were the false claims?

ESPN Article that has links to the tweet:

Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey is not happy with a Texas A&M assistant coach for using his photo as a recruiting tool.

Basically the TE's coach at ATM posted a graphic or poster on twitter. It had guys that had attended FSU and for some reason a guy that attended Wake Forest, who are all in the pros. There are eight players with their NFL uniforms and at the bottom it lists their average salary.

In poor taste the tweet mentions something like "come get the truth". Then what was interesting is an ex FSU player was pissed and called him out. The only truth may have been the salary part and 7 of the 8 players attended the school Jimbo coached at.

ATM is using eight NFL player's images without permission to advertise a school they didn't go to, implying that Jimbo coached them on defense and may have stolen and changed a multi-million or billion dollar company's ad to do it.

Brewster's tweet with a BUNCH of interesting responses including the NFL guy's at the very top.

ATM TE's coach tweet to DB's

We have to get better at pass blocking.



(I've said this for over a decade now - we haven't been great at pass blocking since 2007 - Crowton and Studrawa's first years as OC and OL, respectively. This has contributed to problems with our QB development and chronic problems in the passing game.)

I remember 5* JaCoby Stevens saying AT was a main reason. I’m just telling y’all he’a a great recruiter.

What ??? Are you saying Austin was not the sole reason Leonard Fournette came to LSU? 24/7 insinuated he was and they have NEVER been wrong about anything.

Depends on which exploits and what facet you're talking about.

Brewster is pretty damn good at 1-on-1 recruiting. And a good "old school" organizer. He's very experienced at it. As far as "processes", using technologies mainly and looking at efficiency of resources (ROI), not so much.

AT was exceptional at organizing and no slouch in 1-on-1 recruiting. With that organizational skill came a pretty good "ROI recruiting" skill set.

And on this board, as usual, sometimes his value was overstated. Most often it was understated. He worked for Orgeron (so he must not be worth a shite) and then left us (confirmed- he ain't worth a shite). The real answer lies somewhere in between with the majority, on this board, understating his value.

There's more to recruiting than reeling in the fish and visits. It is the net result you want, but there is a whole lotta work that precedes that.

Let me postulate this: If AT had been here as we approached signing day maybe the bad strategy that caused us to pass on Goodrich when we did may not have happened. Yeah AT wouldn't have predicted Surtain doing what he did, nor would he have changed that. But the lack of strategy and what-ifs were a result of "old school" coaches doing recruiting. Why are we always on the wrong end of every "business decision" and "well, he went against mom". Maybe because the business of recruiting has changed.
