I just listened to it. Look at my post above. He wanted to sign 25. He had targets. He had backup plans that he couldn’t promise anything because it all depended on what the studs would do. He says he will now look at add graduate transfers.

A sign of lack of intelligence is blatantly and obviously lying to people and assuming they are too dumb to catch the lie.

An even better meter for lacking intelligence is being a person that believes these obvious lies (see Alleva and the idiots in our fan base still buying this bull shite).

Ed is an idiot. Pure and simple.

First of all, we had a draft and we put the four guys up that we were going to give scholarships to. I wasn’t going to tell a guy I could take their commitment. I wasn’t going to lie to him. I said I can’t take your commitment because we have certain slots that are slotted to people. Going into Sunday night, we felt good. We knew we had not offered Mario a scholarship offer, but we knew if somebody didn’t take a scholarship we would take him. James Foster we were 1 of 3 and we knew that going into it. We weren’t going to waste a scholarship.

Having Kelvin Joseph, we were only going to sign one CB anyone. It was going to be Patrick. So we moved Kelvin to CB, and he can play CB very well.


guessing you didn't listen very well lester

what? But Ed....you're the greatest evaluator in all of football, why would you need to be more selective?

You can't appreciate the O statement you posted (I heard it) without seeing the speaker...that's the same one that makes visits and meetings with top recruits and their family.

OMgoodness, please help us someone!

Where does it say he only planned to sign 23 & that it was his plan to save 2 spots for graduate transfers?

He never said when that plan was set into action. Could have been after they learned they weren’t getting Surtain, Goodrich, and Foster so they decided to just stick with what they had.

that implies he wanted to only use 23 spots from the beginning. You're wrong

"that was the plan and always has been the plan"

Don’t you think he meant Plan B was to hold the scholarships for transfers instead of trying to sign 2 more after Goodrich and Surtain fell through?

No it implies his backup options didn’t wait to see if the studs signed. He is saying they weren’t going to reach for any other players that weren’t on the radar, rather use it for grad transfers now.

How can you say that is what he implied when your last clip of his press conference contradicts that? Damn bigJ get a grip it’s all right there dude

I take that quote as signing 23 and saving two spots was the plan IF we missed on our guys. We weren't going to try to fill those two spots with other people, we would just save them for either possible transfers or to be used in the next class. I don't think he meant signing 23 was plan A.

Certainly, you can, but that's not what this states.

I said, “I can’t take your commitment right now because we have certain slots for certain people. Now if you want to wait, you can.”

How does that turn into wanting to only get 23 commits & save 2 for grad transfers? You people are ridiculous
