re: Sentimore, Byrd, Molton

quote:

He would be behind Lafell and Toliver this year, and when he was on the field, people would be asking "Where is Randle?"

---

Which is the same situation we would be in had Molten not blown out his knee and/or had rocks in his head.

As a redshirt Freshman Byrd would likely be more game ready now than Randle is, but the true benefit would be next year to go along with Randle and Toliver. We are an injury or a draft defection away from being really thin at WR in 2010.

Here's part of the stupidity. We've averaged a top 5 class the past few years. You're retarded

There are two levels of successful recruiting.
1. Top players
2. Filling needs
- Passing on CM, DS, and Byrd
leave huge holes and inexperience
for those positions in 2010.

You know this how? Have you seen him play a lot in college? We picked up Chris Davenport, Josh Downs, and a 4 star Juco Defensive tackle. All were higher on our board than Sentimore due to concerns about him qualifying. I think we did ok.

Hicks = huge bust. You obviously aren't very in tune with what is really going on with our D-line.

As much as I'd like to have gotten CM, do you think any RBs would be committing to us this year if they had that in front of them on the depth chart? Something tells me we'll be just fine with the guys we have, and I can't imagine a scenario where having CM on the team would mean the dfifference between a win and a loss. So I'm gonna go ahead and say NOT a huge loss.

---

It's a loss. Next year - Murphy (coming off a season ending injury...), Michael Ford (who will have 0 game experience when we open with UNC), Spencer Ware (QB in high school, true freshman). And who else? Seastrunk is hardly a lock.

Now throw CM in there, a 5 star recruit with a year in the system. All of a sudden, that gives you a little security in the backfield for next year.


You can keep ignoring the issues. If we offered CM, he's here. If we recruit LaRon, he's here. Having both here now, learning the system, to be ready to go next year would have been huge.

This is true, but at the time, the coaches thought we were getting Benton as well, which I don't anyone will argue was a mistake over Byrd.

Everyone knew Benton was questionable at best to get eligible. That is the reason given that we passed on Sentimore until the 11th hour.

Fluco, wake up. He wouldn't.

But he would be a 4 star, big time recruit with a year of the system under his belt going into next year.

We didn't need him for this year.

We needed him for next year and beyond.

Next Year:

RB - Ridley, Murphy, Ford, RS, Ware, Lache?
WR - TT, RR, Mike Davis, Justin Hunter, Reed?, plus the guys on the team that haven't played much. They have quality guys in front of them. It doesn't mean they suck.

WR - TT, RR, Mike Davis, Justin Hunter, Reed?

3 freshman? Really?

Have you seen how much trouble RR is having?

No, they didn't.

They knew they could have had RR or Benton.

They chose RR.

3 freshman? Really?

Way to leave out the 5 star senior and 5 star redshirt freshman who will be the #1 and #2. We would only be searching for a good #3.

Guys the three freshman won't be starters. Why is this so hard?

Fluco, you gotta admit that RB and WR depth chart is weak.
