Are you arguing with yourself???

You know he meant his second time to recruit the whole year.

 

[McGeesPub]

No, that is exactly true. And yet you're willing to write off half the class as a failure because they will not have an immediate impact. celebrate the ones we get that have high odds of being great like a HB turning into a PM while looking for the KG in this class. You'll be much happier than being Catbone and saying the whole class is a failure.

Thanks for the advice.

"Recruiting quality depth" was what you heard when Butch's classes were going downhill.

This class ain't that bad though. Let's see how we finish...

Don't be an idiot.
That comment right there betrays you as not a serious person.

 

[wuwh_08]

Butch also pulled in two top 5 classes

By numbers only.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I think we got some real football players in this class.

Don’t really care about the stars that much - I get you need to have top 10 classes.

But I think we have some foundation pieces for sure.

 

[Devo182]

We haven't even played one of them close, Im not confident at all

C'mon we've only been outscored 84-255 the past 2 years . Sometimes ya just have to laugh at your own misery.

But I think we have a shot at 1 of the 4. Up to 3 of them could be starting new QBs and we'll have a 15 year starter.

Nobody gives a ____ if you feel confident. It has no effect on reality. It's just tweener whining.

Go to a therapist or a slumber party and whine. Recruiting is not about your feelings.

 

[Pane di mais]

See how these "jaded" "sophisticated" negavols are all about their feelings. They can't face reality.

They're passing themselves off as the exact opposite of what they are.

3* is a crapshoot. Some of them will be all-SEC, some will never see the field. Which means that trying to individually project each one over the course of about 40-45 games is the ultimate fools errand. If that explanation gives you consternation, so be it.

There was an in-depth statistical analysis done a few years back on 10 years worth of Rivals data.

Roughly 11% of 3 Stars ended up making an all conference team or getting drafted (their definition of “success” in the study).

So while a couple hundred 3 Stars end up as “hits” each year, there are literally thousands that end up as “misses”.

The breakdown as best I can remember:

5 Stars - 48%
4 Stars - 25%
3 Stars - 11%
2 Stars - 2%

The results are fairly intuitive, but interesting all the same imo.

And since no one can start at the top from the worst [implied but unstated expletive deleted] team in the history of the school, would you agree that the only way up and out is to be a better evaluator of talent and better at coaching up underrated or overlooked talent, and better at understanding how to win SEC football games than the more "star-heavy" teams that you must face? I mean, in real life. And hit the home runs when you can.

Why so emotional? I posted objective facts. There was no commentary on my part in that post.

I asked you a simple question in plain English. Yes or no?

 

[Devo182]

... Skip a step...I like it. Agree.

We could have like Butch did after 6-6 but Ga St really wrecked us bad after we talked up 9 wins to recruits. Sucks, but here we are. Add 1 year to the timeline...after the last 15 what's the rush??

 

[85SugarVol]

Lol, you went on a rant

 

[Pane di mais]

I can't teach you English tonight. It was a straightforward question.

Edit: I'll remove the implied explicative. Edit: K.

 

[Pane di mais]

Why won't you answer the question? Yes or no will do.

 

[reVOLution33]

New QB???

 

[tn88volfan]

Tyler Baron will give us our 10th 4 star in this class with about 8 spots remaining for more. Grown men up in here on periods saying the class is meh.

 

[85SugarVol]

Why won't you answer the question? Yes or no will do.

I didn’t take a position. You leapt forward with your aggressive rant.

All I did was post the results of statistical analysis.

 

[Pane di mais]

Are you arguing with yourself???

No, I was providing a gloss on my previous remark.

 

[Pane di mais]

It was not a rant. To prove it, I repeat (for anyone capable of reasoning) the question you are misrepresenting.

And please don't answer. I'll let your dodge stand, since you've insisted on hiding behind your "objectivity."

What are you trying to argue? I didn’t say anything bad about this class. I like a lot of the pieces we have committed.

Go find another tree.
