If so, then nothing short of a 180 from this season, both on the field and in recruiting, should be enough to save him going forward.

Exactly. That's what I meant with my last post.. crazy how they get blown out last night then boom surpirse lol Leigh to Clemson. I know they've been on him, but I haven't seen anyone really predicting him to go there. Oh well.. 1 kid can't make or break a class even though we really needed him.

What this tells me is he wanted everywhere but lsu

He was going to go to oklahoma and he didn't tell them in time so they took byrd.
Everywhere but lsu. Cregg needs to go. When leigh waffled you shouldve had a backup plan like byrd

Byrd was not a backup plan. LSU tried to sign him.

The annual people showing up who know nothing about recruiting...

Ty Crawford, who we passed on due to grades last year, is in the portal. There are actually some really good options there this year if we don’t get Moko, some of who will have 3 or 4 years of eligibility. It’s not a one guy or bust situation, especially since we did get the commit earlier this week.
I really liked Crawford coming out of high school. Before the 25 limit and it's impact on grade risks we would have absolutely taken him. Our compliance dept. combined with the fact he had to take the ACT late to get his qualification on the sliding scale is what caused us to pass based on grades. Make no mistake, we passed only because of grades.

He definitely worked himself into an OT from OG. I don't think Charlotte has done him a whole lot of favors, but the foundation is still there and he hasn't lost this year of eligibility; so we're basically back at square 1. He hasn't blown up weight wise or anything like that.

Is he a direct replacement for Leigh? Hell no. If we had the choice it would be Leigh. Do I think Crawford can be a starting OT in the SEC? Yes, I do.

They were the heavy favorites early on in his recruitment if I recall. Regardless it’s time for Cregg to go. We will not complete with Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia and Alabama for the elite offensive lineman if he’s the coach long term. Ed needs to cut ties with his buddy before it’s too late!!!

I feel the same. I'm not as down on him as most on this board are, but next year will be a big year for him. We finally have some in state targets in recruiting and it looks like a lot of experience will be coming back.

His recruiting has been ok. Obviously not outstanding, but Bradford, Dumervil and Dellinger were pretty good OOS pulls. Throw in Martinez, who was able to hold his own as a true freshman and some other higher rated guys who are hopefully still developing, and I don't think he's been a failure by any means.

Laugh all you want but that's not what i meant

When leigh didn't sign during early signing day, you need to have a comparable player lined up, you goofy fuch.

I know byrd is someone who is signed on his own merit. When leigh waffled then you should've had a backup plan


The fact that you are defending this shite is telling.
Weren't you the one who was hiding when pelini was fired?

You said it wouldn't happen all year

When I heard his family was moving to his destination and his brother enrolling in school, I knew LSU was out.

Who would move a young family to Baton Rouge?

Did LSU pull strings and get his brother at U High?

I follow Clemson and LSU. I can tell you while this board was always reporting it was out of LSU and OU, the Clemson board/moderator has said they have been in there mix and not to be surprised if Clemson lands them.

Maybe we need to miss on Will Campbell next year too for Orgeron to recognize Creggs recruiting deficiencies.
