I’m starting to think maybe we are a lil too banged up right now to beat UK. OL is in shambles once again heading out to play a team that acts like this is the SB every time they play us

On Jay Hardy –
I saw this first hand many years ago when I was involved with AAU basketball. Some people want to cash in on their kids and if they can they doIt’s just the way it is and bitching about it ain’t going to change it.

People like that are absolute trash. Sub-human filth.

They should be sterilized so that they cannot further contaminate the gene pool with their refuse.

I'm sure they're pretty beat up also. They are using a WR to play QB after all.

What in the world you all see in Will Friend is beyond me.

What has he done?
Who has he landed?

And don’t tell me he’s the reason the O line is magically playing better this year. There is another coach new to the staff making that happen.

The key to recruiting OL is the recruits wanting to PLAY FOR the OL coach. Relationship your azz off and it’s for naught otherwise. Morris and Wright signed on fully comfortable with their position coach.

Last year they played like the Falcons in the second half of a super bowl, so I guess that counts...

You’d pay them to stand there all ugly with boils all over your partially covered body. Going rate for good OL coaches...which he is.

That dramatically improved OL play is terrible. Why can't we go back to getting sacked 8 times a game...

We obviously don’t have to pony up for all highly rated players but I think it’s just as obvious that there are some instances where if you really want the kid there’s no other way. I don’t think it has anything to do with the character of the kid per se; I think it is a reflection on the adults in the kids life.

So I’m wondering what would be the going rate for various kids? I’ve always heard that there was $250,000 involved in Auburn getting Cam Newton. Alabama moved Tua’s family all the way from Hawaii to Tuscaloosa in order to close that deal. I think HT said earlier in the season that his parents had flown in from California for all of our games up to that point in our season. I think this was after the UTC game.

I’ve said before I wanted us to sign kids that the public services rated at a 95 or higher from a composite standpoint. I wonder how much the families of those kids think their kid’s signature is worth? Fulmer told the BOT that we got 5 guys last year that everybody wanted and this year we needed to get 10 or more. I take it that means we’re trying to increase our budget. Now clearly the football program and/or athletic department don’t have a direct hand in this and can only send dog whistles out to the guys who do. We’re using WWII code, sending messages over broadcast to the underground fighters behind enemy lines.

If every 95 or higher kid can command an average of $50k then for a full class that $1.25 million. That’s a lot of money year in and year out, and none of it can be connected in any way to the university. I wonder what our budget is. I’m guessing maybe a couple hundred thousand or so, or maybe less. What we really need is for folks like BigNewt and InVol to join the ranks of the “field recruiters” so we can at least double our budget. jmo.
