Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[swchandler1988]

On the most recent VQ podcast they were talking about positions to add players in the portal and they mentioned WR and DL, but when asked about DB specifically Austin Price surprisingly said “no”.

If he thought Boo was leaving he wouldn’t have said that IMO…

Probably bodes well for Jermods recovery too

Nice Hybrid. You all catching them deep on live bait or on top?

15-25ft. on live shad. They wouldn't touch cut bait. They preferred the bigger shad over the livelier smaller ones.

Well, let’s just land Robertson and call it a day.

He hasn’t had the luxury of throwing to NFL WR prospects, and he still puts up good numbers.

That should be choice #1

Luke Altmeyer 1a
Sawyer Robertson 1b

 

[UTSuave’]

Is he 4'11?

Probably 5’1

Same, but Luke chatter is quiet. I am also fine with Rocco if we go that way.

Happy Portal season

Wouldn't Rocco Becht currently be at Iowa State and in class?

Or was this poster on X trolling?

Nice rack. Would look excellent on my wall...

I don’t think we even know if it was in Tampa. I saw a comment under that saying the plane was in West Palm, and was flying back today or yesterday.

If it’s west palm, it could’ve been a coach visiting Freeman, since he’s visiting soon,

As of now viable QB transfer names mentioned include:

Luke Altmyer - Illinois
Avery Johnson - Kansas St
Sawyer Robinson - Baylor
Rocco Becht - Iowa St

Avery & Sawyer outperformed Nico on that bottom chart which compare PFF and ESPN. Luke is similar range and Rocco performed lower.

Bumping to make it easier to find QB graph. Wanted to compare new names. Not sure how I feel about Byrum (USF) making the list. He didn't really play last year had a QBR of 52 for the time he did. That is why he is not on this list. Of names mentioned the ones that performed in QBR and PFF best are:
Avery
Robinson
Altmyer

Of the names with the most traction I would say Robinson. Altmyer i like his touch and arm strength, but no one is talking about him anymore. Avery is supposedly a K state kid through and through. He's from KS and would not even give KS the time of day. I don't see him moving, but I like him best.

 

[DD4ME]

Lol it's because be already called everyone. Lol

He is also not in the transfer portal yet. Surely our staff is sneakier about reaching out to players at other schools.

 

[Jack Burton]

@Jack Burton can you confirm?

TB did not make such a definitive statement.

[Jackcrevol]

No thanks.

Based on numbers, butch did well in 2014 and 2015. In respect to numerical rankings and “star gazing”, that was the topic

Butch had one year that his average star ranking was in the top 10(8th) using 247. I wish we could recruit like Clemson did leading up to their national championship. They hit on a few stars and the rest were solid players throughout their depth chart. Clemson had very few misses. Heup has way too many bad evaluations of players.

This is like the opposite of Christmas Morning & Christmas Morning mixed together.

 

[Adam2014]

It has to be UCLA for Nico I would imagine. I am sure they can pay him some but have fun getting destroyed in front of a half empty stadium.

You're probably not going to like this, but Butch recruited more offensive stars in those two classes than Heupel has in his 5 years here.

Choices for QB1 position

A. Get a guy out of Portal ( then watch everyone complain about the guy)

Or


B. Give the keys to the car to Merk or GM ( then watch individuals complain about not getting a QB from the Portal)

Or


C. Both
