IF ONLY THERE WERE SOME WAY TO SEE WHETHER THE RATINGS CORRESPONDED TO MEANINGFUL OUTCOMES!!!!!!!PurpleJ said:
If you trust recruiting analysts to accurately judge it every time, then sure. Sure Dennis. Sounds foolproof.Dennis_DeYoung said:I know you are the not the most ready for conceptual analogies so let me try to explain it to you a different way:
Imagine talent is rated on a scale from 1-5. (like stars - trying to make it easy on you)
And a coach can multiply the talent any where from 0-2.
What are the possible outcomes?
0-10.
Are you following?
I'll wait for your response. Let's see if we can get this one licked today.
It's so difficult living in the 2049 BC. I wish I could fast forward to a time with a computer where this kind of thing would take seconds. -
See you in five years! Have fun overreacting! I will pray for your autism!Dennis_DeYoung said:

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU... THERE WERE A WAY TO PREDICT HOW GOOD WE ARE GOING TO BE IN FIVE YEARS...PurpleJ said:Dennis, you seem to like to write a lot just to state the obvious here. Coaching and talent both matter. Yeah, no shit Einstein. My point is that: a. It's fucking June and b: recruiting analysts are often wrong and stupid
See you in five years when the wins and losses tell me how good this class that hasn't even been signed is. Good luck the rest of the way!
Since you are a transplant here from the past - DO NOT THINK ME A SORCERER!!!
I AM NOT!! I AM JUST A MAN WITH THE ABILITY TO REASON!!!
I HAVE BEEN GRANTED THAT ABILITY BY GOD AND TRAINED BY SOME OF THE FINEST MINDS IN THE WORLD TO DO JUST THAT!!!!
I AM NO SORCERER SIR!!!
I HAVE... EXCEL! -
The forecast is always wrong.

WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT NICK SABAN WITH GREAT RECRUITING CLASSES WOULD WIN?!?! WHO!?!?!PurpleJ said:The forecast is always wrong.
Rule fucking one.
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED IT?!?!?!
What a shame for you that non-perfect prediction means that everything is meaningless.
What a shame for you that gas dynamics is not nearly as complicated as projecting football games.
WHAT A SHAME FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE IN A TIME WHERE IT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE!!!
I'm sure you're right. I'm sure none of this matters...
Oh wait. Everyone who cares about winning football as a job thinks it's the most important thing they do.
But they are probably wrong and you are right.
Oh - wait hold on - I'm being told that the SECOND ORDER relationship between coaches evaluations and recruiting rankings are strong enough to generate a good predictive model.
SORRY J!!! -
Are you talking about Georgia specifically that just missed the championship in OT after being irrelevant forever? Then got a good recruiter and was suddenly a play away from a national title.PurpleJ said:
Where are the fucking championships? I'll wait...UW_Doog_Bot said:
I can't remember who it was(recruiting coordinator?) that either came from Georgia to our staff or went to Georgia from our staff but they said we essentially recruit using a similar process. One of the differences being that Peterman tries to be even more personal in the process which inevitably means fewer offers.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Let's hire Sark as their head coach and see what happens to all that talent.Dennis_DeYoung said:
Take it to the 'Alabama is doing it the wrong way' bored.PurpleJ said:
Why even play the games at all? We can determine championships based on gold stars being handed out! The Ducks are back!Dennis_DeYoung said:
If only there were some way to predict how classes will turn out.PurpleJ said:I'll let you know in four or five years! Time will tell! Either way it will be interesting!
I'll summarize: Saban thinks recruiting is the most important thing he does.
I'll summarize the relevance to this bored: Pete is much closer to Saban than to Sark.
I will do some extra math for you:
If you don't think recruiting matters, you are wrong.
If you are arguing 'what matters more' then you are a fucking idiot who doesn't understand simple path models of causation.
Most fucking Americans are so fucking retarded they cannot even conceptualize a world in which an outcome can have more than one variable affecting it... but it turns out...
WAIT FOR IT
WAIT FOR IT
WAIR FOT IW
WAIT... JUST A LITTLE LONGER...
WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!!! WOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOW!!!!
Georgia TBS's well
Or were you talking about teams that recruit using that same Alabama system who have won 6 out of the last 10 championships.
You just trolling at this point. -
Casino owners probably have it all wrong. Why play the averages!?!?!!?PurpleJ said:
