Orgeron and recruiting

coffee is for closers.

this man earned a giant pot in his 2nd full year recruiting.


it can be done

It all come down to Winning they want to win championships so in a way it his fault and Miles fault If not your just selling family ties to the state

If Coach Orgeron does everything in his power under NCAA recruiting guidelines and Kids like Sopsher and Stingley decide to sign with Alabama, why is that orgeron's fault?

---

Because no one gets paid $3M/year to try. This is a results business.

Orgeron’s obit is in that binder, nobody but Orgeron prepared that “bill of goods”. He pulled it off now he waits to see if it gets shoved up his “sun don’t shine zone” and Alleva’s!!!

What a really weird post. Even if it wasn't on the recruiting board. Just strange.

You’re seriously trying too hard but I’ll play. Because its supposed to be the one thing he can do well. He hasn’t done very well at it so far. Mainly in the lack of overall planning but we expected he’s screw that up. So, if the guy says he’s going to lock down the state and then fails, well, then its a fail. Don’t make it so easy to see through you lame attempt to lower the bar before a failure. It makes me worried

Right on cue

My GOD.....

The dummies.

When O took over, he had limited time to make the recruiting class his. And, he avoided disaster. He closed on some kids that we weren't even in the running for.

In his first full year, there were significant, and I mean significant holes in our roster. And unfortunately for him, he had to used Schollies to fortify certain areas that he otherwise would have used on more high profile players. But, it's what he had to do.

He also got a few players signed with LSU that everyone had written off, like Chase. The Surtain loss hurt, but with such limited numbers he had to trust Surtain and then it was too late to pull in someone else. I do think the only error is that he should have signed MG and dropped someone else much earlier in the process. (And to his (and everyone's) surprise, Tolliver left early).

I do also think he is failing at recruiting QB's. And if that doesn't change quickly, he needs to go. You cannot turn a program around without recruiting quality QB's each and every year.

To call him a failure though, is UTTERLY STUPID. He has actually has a very methodical approach to recruiting and has done just about everything right.

Year after year, we watched Miles over recruit certain positions and ignore areas of need. He also lost out on a ton of players and that hasn't happened nearly as much with O. O, by far, is managing the roster far better, and it will continue to get better (assuming he signs QB's).

But holy cow the football iq of our posters.....

So do you disagree with O’s mentor Pete Carroll?

Those aren’t my words.

So then miles didn’t squander a bunch of talent? I was told he did Les with more.

And LSU didn’t even use all 25 of its scholarships, so that’s wrong too.

What is that people can't understand? Yes, Miles had a lot of talent. But that doesn't mean that it's everywhere. That doesn't mean that there wasn't a lack of depth at certain positions (most notably the lines). He obviously never recruited QB's either.

And agin, the lack of IQ is showing. O had to allow more scholarship for areas that we had significant gaps in. By doing so, it took away scholarships that you normally have for more high profile players... thus affecting the almighty recruiting rankings that everyone is so hell bent on.

And the reason we didn't sign the full amount, is because O couldn't take a lot of the high profile players he wanted at the end (again, because he had to use more for the lines). This hurt him because there wasn't enough room for players like MG. Then when Surtain pulled his shite, there wasn't enough time to sign anyone else.

My gosh how short the memory of people. We debated for months who would get the last few. And that numbers were tight.
