Kelly is bringing in talent. It's coming in waves.

It’s amazing to me how many people shite all over last year’s class, while we have more than 10 either starting or playing rotation minutes this season.

How any of these fricking morons can talk shite about the incoming class is insane. And a few of them are still hanging on to “but, but, but watch it all fall apart…”

Recruiting is something the current staff is fricking NAILING right now. Not just for 25, but the work already taking place for 26 and beyond. It’s ok to accept and recognize that as being true. There are problems and great recruiting won’t make them all instantly disappear, but it sure as hell makes the rest of the job of coaching an SEC football team easier.

Ah, if only my sarcasm came with a user manual—I could’ve spared us both this existential crisis. But hey, at least we can bond over my failed attempts, right?

Why leave off the recruiting ranks of the years prior BK. O brought in top 5 recruiting classes prior to BK showing up.

The problem is how few of them remained when Kelly got here (only 47 initial qualifiers before recruiting and portal). Several were gone or were busts who didn’t live up to their rankings before O even left.

Look at what we have today. That last O class should be the experienced backbone of this team, but Nuss, Jones and Dellinger are the only strong starters out of that group today. I will give you that we had some great offensive starters who have moved on, but the defense- it was an absolute disaster before the 22 recruiting and portal classes.

While we have seen some improvement in some of them this season, Ryan, Hilton, Emery, Guillory, Penn and Burns (an O transfer) have all greatly underperformed their rankings. And go back and look at the bottom 10 of that 47 remaining players- G5 guys all. None had any impact on this program.

Acting a fool as a coach and not demanding discipline has consequences. Players don’t give a shite, frick around, don’t develop, leave, etc. That’s what happened the last two years and it wrecked and neutralized O’s last two classes. The current staff isn’t perfect, but they aren’t allowing the same kind of bullshite. We are already seeing the last two recruiting and portal classes make an impact on the field this season (Swinson, Weeks, Alexander, Breaux, Reliford, Daniels, Anderson, Thomas, Durham, Parker, Stamps, Woodland, McKinley). Barring another COVID event, we stand a lot better chance of these players and this incoming class sticking and actually developing into something here.

No it doesn’t

Nor should he! This idea that he has to win a NC in year 3 is retarded! This game is different than when any of our other coaches won NC’s. NIL and players leaving at will has changed the landscape. BK will win NC because of the foundation he is building, just takes time. Trust the plan! He is better than any other coach we have had, with the exception of Saban.

And the 39 scholarships

The FACT is ALSO, he was left with a shite show roster.

The offensive line struggles are disturbing
