I think Freeze throwing his players under the bus last year has hurt their recruiting this year. That's the only reason I can think of.
We know they have money and decent facilities.
But the mass exodus has been fun to watch.
I really hate to participate in these debates. I find them a waste of time.
I don't agree that it's a small, vocal minority. It seems to be split pretty even on this site. I don't think it's a stretch to say the fanbase is pretty much split on WM the same.
Now what if they all took to...
Your basic argument as I understood it, is that social.media basically shouldn't have any bearing on decision making.
The Schiano debacle shows thst isn't always true. I'm not taking sides in this argument as I feel it's a useless debate.
But to say it can't or won't have any effect is...
But as a Freshman it was a decent start.
No major mistakes and he completed around 60% of his passes. I thought it was decent for a true freshman. But he never got better from that game until the next season.
But I agree with what you said. He didn't set the world on fire.
The biggest plays Nico made under pressure was leaving the pocket too soon and running. Rarely did he make a great throw under duress or while scrambling.
If he saw ANY pressure at all, he was bailing out to run.
Im not saying he was overrated, but we all have to be honest with ourselves...
Watching Nico play was about hope for the future.
You'd watch him overthrow a receiver or miss a player wide open and chalk it up to inexperience.
I kept waiting on him to put everything together against a good team and it just never happened.
Unless you count his first game against Iowa...
