The recruiting class is "good," because while we're 4th in the entire country, we're also 4th in the SEC.

This may not sound fair, but we need to be consistently 1st or 2nd in the SEC. If not, how do we turn the corner? It doesn't just magically happen

---

That's a bit of a stretch. If we are ranked 4th nationally, and the top 3 are all SEC teams, how much of a difference do you think there is between the talent in those classes? It is probably little to none. I see it as a pretty equal playing field, talent wise, between all involved. That's what we want. From there it is up to the coaches to develop that talent and get results on the field.

Nice effort. Don't strain yourself too much on your next multisyllabic attempt.

I hope O has a strong propaganda machine - it will help in recruiting.

C'mon man. 9 wins would in no way be anything close to "terrible." Missing a bowl game would be terrible, not playing in a NY6 bowl. Don't be ridiculous.

It wouldn't be terrible, but certainly disappointing. Despite low expectations preseason, I thing it's always a sliding scale. 2017 despite 2 horrible losses would have been more palatable if we beat ND and finish with 10 wins. Despite the "meaningless" tag I think the bowl games help finish the narrative on the season. The 2017 assessment would have been a lot different if we beat ND. The same discussion of 2018 (success or not)will completely different based on the Fiesta outcome whether people admit it or not.

Top 5 is absolutely a great class no matter how you try to spin it. This is another ridiculous statement. I would guess even the most hardcore O skeptics are going to disagree with you here.

---

It's a very good class. The impressive part is we kept every commit, 2 remain unsigned, but were expected and added 2 really big late pushes with Ika and Raydar Jones.

The last piece to make this a "great" class is if O can get 2 more quality DL commits. There are other targets at other positions, but this is the emphasis heading to February and O has said as much.

So where's our advantage if we're equal in talent?

Based on what I've observed, I think we need to be better in talent

---

The talent, if you judge it based off recruiting ratings, has always been pretty equal between the top tier SEC teams. Some teams have obviously done a better job of developing that talent (Bama).

Even with top 5 classes, while others are pulling in top 15-20, but developing it better, they are going to beat LSU. It will also give the appearance that those teams are just more "talented."

I believe the argument you are making is that the coaches aren't doing enough with the talent they have, not that they aren't bringing in the talent. That's an argument clearly many would agree with. It's also why you never will see me using lack of talent as an excuse for a L.

What I'm saying is I'm not expecting the head football coach or his staff to all of a sudden develop skills and talents that they don't have. We have to assume that what we see is what we get with them.

We have to be pragmatic. And that means that we have to accentuate the skills that they do have. We need to quit hoping that they morph into offensive geniuses. We aren't getting Briles or anyone else.

If recruiting is the main strength of this team, we've got to do it appreciably better than anyone else. If their best is only as good as 3-4 teams best, I don't see how we'll ever return to dominance. We're reduced to hoping we catch some lucky breaks.

That's what I'm saying. You thinking coaching up the talent is the problem. Not getting it. That's a solid argument.

We can sign the number 1 class yearly. If Bama and aTm are sitting in the top 5 though, we won't get a large enough talent gap to just beat them on talent alone. It will always come down to development and scheming to beat the other talented teams, no matter where we rank.

Not a response to you per se oOoLsUtIgErSoOo. Just replied to your post.

Just wanted to say... This fricking thread has been entertaining but not for the right reasons.

I was impressed by the sub-arguments between posters that popped up frequently. Some deep (and at times hostile) stuff in those exchanges.

Insecurity?


Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.


At this point it’s no reason to even attempt a logical coversation about this topic with you miserable fricks.
