I don't think he is talking about you, and if he is he is missing the entire point of your system.  Your system rely's on offers from the coaching staffs. which I think is a good way to differentiate between the mass of low 3's/high 2's that the experts don't spend a lot of time on, and unfortunately we rely on recruiting right now,

The new KRAM?

Question. No answer.

That's how you have to talk to the extremely hard-headed-juiced-up-on-green-kool-aid on here. These ARE the same people who expected the next Johnny Manzel to sign this year with UNT simply because UNT hired an unknown OC from UNC. 

And you will see some on here tomorrow do the very things Vito mentions in his article.

They simply can't help themselves. 

No, remember the next Manziel was the kid from Colorado who sat the last two years of his career on the bench at Northern Colorado.  That kid should go into bench sales, considering the many benches as he sat on during his college career.

Bench Sitter Hall of Fame inductee? 

All of us ignored he left a JUCO last second because he couldn't win the starting job there, either. We shouldn't have ignored that glaring red flag.

Yes, but who can forget the clamoring for that guy?  Then, Dajon.  The, Damarcus.  None of whom are remotely talented - or, in the alternative, hardworking - enough to play FBS football.

If you believe the other staff, this is true. Also indicating this is true would be the fact that he was supposed to be a spring enrollee, but didn't take care of his business and had to enroll in the fall. Let's hope DS has had a maturity epiphany since October.

But let's not count on it.

Oh, he's definitely at least including you.  You and (I think) Grey Eagle are the only posters I know who have developed an independent and objective system of evaluating recruiting classes.  And I'd take either yours or Grey Eagle's football insight over Vito's almost any day.

Haha, thanks. But again, my system doesn't prove I'm smarter or a better evaluator than anyone. It's really just a tracker of what college coaches think of players, and who offered who. It's absolutely the opposite of me trying to prove I know more than coaches.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??

      What to expect from Odom?

      You have quite unique comments on there…

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Appreciate the recap

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.
