    Who was the asshat that was on here awhile back saying we were screwed at S?


    All I know is it better not snow on the Coug next November....

    I said we were fucked at safety unless a true Freshman or RS Freshman stepped up big-time for us. Well, one of them has. Good for us.



    Coaching doesn't matter if the talent, depth, and/or experience you have at that position sucks. Budda and Sidney got torched as true Freshman. Did Lake not know what he was doing then and yet we still sucked. It's a similar situation at safety right now. I have a strong feeling Gilchrist sucks ass. We are fucked at free safety if it's either Gilchrist or a Freshman starting for us. Obviously Lake fucked up somewhere recruiting that position because we don't have a RS Junior, sure fire, future NFL stud to replace Rapp that nobody is worried about.

    Things change all the time. The likelihood of Cam Williams basically coming in and playing like Taylor Rapp did as a true Freshman was extremely low. But that's what he's done so far so we're extremely lucky and dodged a bullet. Good for us. The point stands. We were fucked until we got lucky.

    We done freaking out over fucking spring ball yet?

    No...why is opera singer still in the program, let alone running routes and being our best receiver?
    He showed up in our three important games at the end of the year.

    Neither he nor Fuller can break a tackle or fight off tight coverage but he has more speed and quickness than Fuller giving him more versatility- namely the ability to get open deep. With Eason's arm I'd like to see more Baccellia and less Fuller.

    Alright, I'm going to actually defend Ballz on this one.

    Process vs. Results

    It's shitty process to rely on a Freshman to come in and play like a game changer even if we ended up with good results this time(which is still TBD btw).

    We should have at least 2 guys of Cam Williams level talent battling it out for the open starting spot and they both should have already been in the program a year, redshirt or otherwise.

    Though I also realize there are some mitigating factors that you can defend the process from but there is a reasonable poont of criticism buried in there.
    Except Ballz was complaining about results of a cake halfway through baking.

    He had no complaints about the process of making that cake (recruiting of safeties.)

    In fact in the Julius Irvin thread he said we were fine and didn't need Irvin because Molden or Kyler could move to safety.
    I'm definitely not going to be responsible for all the haught takes he's made about the position and I've definitely been in the "the secondary will be fine" camp but there's a minor point of shall we call it, "room for improvement" with safety depth and I think most of us recognized it even if we didn't go full retard over it.

    Yes I did. My whole fucking point was Jimmy's shit safety recruiting putting us in a desperate situation in which we need a Freshman to play at a high level for us which is rare. Go back and read the fucking script. And yes, if Kyler and/or Molden had been moved to safety when they showed up we would be fine at safety. We'd just be concerned about the lack of depth at corner instead.

    There was a lot of consternation in recruiting forum during 2017 season and 2018 recruiting period over safety depth after Love went off deep end.

    Ballz was hand waving the issue away.

    By the time we get to 2019 Spring Camp the "Process" of building depth is over. There is nothing to be done for 2019.

    Yet there goes Ballz on Day 1 of Spring Camp complaining about the half-baked result of our initial alignment. As if it wouldn't change as the best players emerged.
