The point makes sense but when you look at recruiting classes you are looking at potential. Half of our transfers are still unknown potential in Watson, Harris, Scott, and Pendley and all had good ratings at schools with more talent than tech. Will they all pan out? Not likely but there is good...

I believe he was hurt before he even got to campus last year and was going to be out the year.

I would hate that for him if that’s the case. Hopefully he does well at USC

The Wake Forest game lost Joe the heisman.

I’ve seen some comments pointing out that they see transfers as replacements to people who went into the portal which I also think is an unfair characterization. Considering the typical 85 NCAA total scholarship count and that there are typically a handful of 5 yr redshirt seniors, you can...

The discussion of transfers and recruits is always interesting. I’m not used to seeing so many freshman transfers as I’m seeing this year. I personally am really excited to see Watson. It seemed like several people at UT felt like he should have been playing more minutes. Harris not cracking...

High School recruits get more fan fare than transfers unless you are a Fields type player. In our case this year, getting two freshman who were higher rated than anyone in our class excites me more than a 3 star recruit. There is no shame in not cracking Alabama’s starting line up your redshirt...

Swoboda from UVA was one of the best on that list. Keion White did very well matching up against Swoboda in 2019.

It’ll be curious to see which freshman developed the most during the year. You have Paula, Spiers, Rankins, and Cade. A few of those players early enrolled and benefitted from extra time in the weight room. Also can’t forget about Franklin and Hendley who are both Guards. I feel like we are...

We definitely went heavier on transfers. I feel good about the talent we took in through transfers. I think the transfers would bump us up compared to other teams if they counted.

The DE position is improving greatly and has become a deep position. I think we had more sacks this year in a shortened season than we had in the last several years

I’ve heard that Grey Carrol is pretty big and could end up inside at a DT.

I don’t think recruiting is the reason we aren’t playing next week. Most of our class is wrapped up. I’m guessing 17 (if we get a DT 18) to be signing early. We have filled 4 other positions with transfers so my guess is there are only 1 or 2 spots the coaches may be looking for and some could...

I would think RBs like an Elllison or Amerson might look somewhere for playing time. I hope none of our top 4 do.

I’m not surprised by the PFF. There were a lot of frustrating moments in the secondary. Did we have any good PFFs or at least improved PFFs

Completely agree. To be frank, true freshman shouldn’t be starting except for a few cases. We shouldn’t be having to judge Sim’s performance because he should be learning on the sidelines right now, but we don’t have an experienced QB

I haven’t been as critical about the wins and losses so far because I expected our offense to struggle. Honestly I wish I hadn’t watched the first spring game because it gave me false hope about the passing offense. My grades would be: Offense - C+, about as expected but saw improvement...

The standard rule of thumb is a QB needs to release his pass in about 3 seconds. Some NFL QBs are under 2.5 seconds. DBs can’t be expected to cover receivers much longer so pass rush is critical. I believe the announcers made that call after Smith had to choose who to block between two unblocked...

I didn’t expect the receivers to be a strength of our football team. We really don’t have a dominant receiver that teams have to focus on. I think AB is a threat in the slot and camp could be a good possession receiver due to his strength and his good hands. The receivers have played about how I...

Receivers did have a few drops that didn’t help out sims. I don’t really blame smith on the last drop. That pass had some heat on it but you have to make plays to win a game.
