That one I will admit was mostly because of the talent around him. Hard to be the 4th best receiver on your team, even if you are good. There just aren't enough touches to go around. I'm not sure we are bringing in guys quite like that though.

The goal post hasn't changed at all. My original point was that we are taking several guys who couldnt find much if any playing time at their previous schools. Not just any random transfer that ever happened. We are building parts of our team around these guys and some suggested that what we...

Was the Sooners starting RB after spring practice in 2004 before he got injured and lost his job to one of the best RBs of all time. He still managed to get some playing time. Again, not really the type of guy I’m talking about.

He's the QBs coach for the Bills now. Pretty cushy job at the moment.

Trey Sermon had over 2000 yards rushing and 22 TD before going to Ohio State. Kamara had his behavior issues at Bama, completely blew up in JUCO and was one of the most coveted JUCO transfers in recent memory. Kenneth Walker had over 1000 yards rushing and 17 TD before transferring. Im not sure...

Im not sure you understood the question. Pretty much none of those guys struggled to get on the field in their previous stops.

Name some highly rated high school players that aren't QBs that struggled to get playing time at their first school, then became stars at their new school.

I certainly wouldnt say they can't amount to anything, I just don't think building a team around guys who couldnt succeed at their previous schools is a very good long term strategy. If you are a really talented OL or DB, then it isn't some impossible task to find some playing time before your...

I'm not sure loading up on guys who were struggling to get playing time at their previous school is a viable long term strategy.

Its a bit of a weird list. Im not sure I buy Cal and Northwestern having stronger programs than Texas and FSU.

At the time of his hire, over 81% of the users here liked the hire (including myself), and less than 4% did not like the hire. Im not sure the claim that many people were negative about him from the get go is actually true. https://gtswarm.com/threads/are-you-pleased-with-the-hire-poll.16704/

Win 3 games a year for three straight years and yeah, the fanbase might turn on you a bit. That's the reality of the profession. He gets paid alot to deal with that nonsense. Frankly, he is lucky he is doing it here. We are a tame group. He can still go to Waffle House and have a comfortable...

Eh. I like a lot of the guys we have brought in but that is a major stretch. We need some of these formerly highly rated but couldn’t get playing time at their previous school guys to start living up to their HS rankings.

I'm sure it wasn't someone officially with the program who made this offer to him. Makes it nearly impossible to prove the school was involved. There is basically no way to enforce that rule unless the programs abusing it are incredibly sloppy.

That really depends on the player. Carpenter, Cochran, and Thomas have pretty good chances to make their respective teams. The rest, it is a long shot.

The transfer rule is probably the biggest change but It still has to do with NIL. Unless you believe Addison was going to transfer to USC even if they didn't offer him 2-3 million dollars. There were rumors of other big schools trying to get Addison before USC came into the picture with their...

5 years ago, there is little to no chance that Gibbs or Addison transfer for their 3rd and final year. That alone shows how massive these changes are. The new ability of the money teams to publicly buy the best players from other P5 programs and have them eligible immediately is a very massive...

Im just going off of the words of an ASU insider.

USC also got Eric Gentry today from Arizona St. A freshman All American this year. It's rumored he got an NIL deal in the mid 6 figures.

I am in a similar mindset but I still enjoy pro sports, so most of my attention is migrating that way. If college sports are just going to be pro sports with less talent and less parity then im not really interested to be honest.
