@NorwegianHusky owes me an apology IMo

For what? KB finally hitting a lay-up? Sam Adams is to the RB position what Hunger Bryant is to TE. KB and Paopao still suck.

Newton is a beast, Ahmed is better. Sunday is going to be just like Newton and Adams is highly touted. Not sure about Cam Davis, but a lot of you guys really like him. The Boner hate can die now.

Chris brown fucking ate us the fuck apart in cal game. Guess what? he was higher on our board that dick was in that year. Do not confuse how good the player is vs how hard he was to recruit.

I don’t, but it doesn’t matter once they get to college. It doesn’t matter how hey get there, just get good players. Our RB’s are good and we are adding two more good ones this year.

TBS retards have a hard time accepting Boner and Pao coach good to great players

so it is retarded that we want the coaches to be good recruiters and good coaches right? they do not need to be mutually exclusive.

Recruits don’t often come to a school for a position coach. It’s part of it and being a good salesman does help.

The need to care so much about position coaches is baffling. It’s mostly made up bullshit.

This is too far the other way. Position coaches absolutely matter.

Pease and Lubick have absolutely hurt our team with their inability to recruit. Adams and the program itself saved our ass to an extent by geting Puka. The recruiting at that position has been so bad that we are unbalanced on the roster with as many scholarships we have used to try to make up for how bad the talent has been there.

Strausser seemed to be a great coach but worthless as a recruiter and was canned for it.

Lake has been an excellent coach and pretty good recruiter, but early entries and two injuries at safety (Irvin and Joyner) have us vunerable there. If we had Pola Mao that year we missed him our secondary would look a lot different.

Gregory is a great coach but can't relate to players/recruit very well from what it seems. The fact that we had to take so many linebackers last year because of the gap in years at that position is another problem. Kaho was a weird situation, but EIfler leaving is a big deal right now that they couldn't get him ready to play.

Tight End is great right now, if Bryant or Otton get hurt this year not so much because we like to use two or three at a time and Pete is obviously pissed about it. We may be limited in the packages we can run.

I agree the TBS'ers overstate certain things sometimes but right now our Linebacker, Safety and WR issues are pretty embarrassing for a program that has spent the past 3 years in the top 15 in the country with USC and UCLA simultaneously trying to run their programs into the ground.

Safety i understand to an extent with the early entries and timely injuries, but you are not going to win a conference title with the glaring roster holes we have right now and it year 6 with Pete. This is due roster mismanagement. If we weren't blowing so many Schollies on WR's to make up for the incompetence of Pease and Lubick maybe we hit on another safety recruit one of those years or we hit on a linebacker (probably not with Gregory running point) but it is important.

As a 37 year old i forgot how important it was because we sucked for so long, then you play Bama, Penn State, and Ohio State and just see how those programs reload. We will probably never recruit like bama or ohio state consistently, but we should be able to match penn state, michigan and similar teams in that next tier. I would never expect a program like that to be starting Cam Williams as a true freshman and Myles Bryant out of position as safeties int he same secondary. Kyler Manu as a linebacker or 3 situational WR's at best as your starting trio. This has more to do with the assistant coaches and their recruiting. It is not the only thing that matters (See Mora's staff at UCLA), but it is really important.

KB’s RBs are fine but let’s not act like we are RB fucking U or something.

Did you know Bama has had 9 RBs drafted in last 9 years?

Ingram
Richardson
Lacy
Yeldon
Henry
Drake
Scarborough
Jacobs
Harris

LSU 6 in last 7 including Fournette and Guice.

Nobody is acting like we are RBU. It’s just not a problematic position. If Bama or Saquan Barkley is the standard, then we suck at almost every position. Gaskin was a favorite but he’s behind those guys too.

I simply think Newton is going to be very good. Ahmed has played well the last two games too. Sunday will be a monster too. You guys are too stuck on ratings. Good players are good players and we have them at RB.
