To add a few points: —Dude is an empty nester at this point, so moving around is less of a big deal. —His familiarity with recruiting Georgia and recruiting kids to places where academics are important (Duke, GT) no doubt figure into this hiring. Also just familiarity with the Southeast in...

Interesting topic that juxtaposes the costs and benefits of both an easy schedule and a harder schedule. IMO it's logical Collins would be excited about the schedule for several reasons: First is the excitement and exposure for the program. While ND isn't a perennial top 5 program like Clemson...

I actually like Grahm as a QB. Will be interesting to see him a year bigger, stronger, and more experienced. Plus has most of a season of experience under his belt, and is behind a better OL. To keep the job will need to be a technician...squaring shoulders, setting feet, etc. As far as Yates...

Hopefully one of the guys develops like Scott Blair did.

Also folks, young QBs can develop on a steep curve. Grahm for example had focused hard on academics and less on football the past year. Was he even in spring practice? Good chance he and Yates at the beginning of the season were a mess and didnt give you much chance to win. Then when QBs are...

I struggled to eval the OC this year. The OL was thin to begin with then lost its two most experienced guys for the season, plus the only OL who played well vs Clemson. Whoever won QB starter got to be a rookie behind that OL. Yay. Oh wait, all of the above also have to transition to a NEW...

My biggest takeaway was the infusion of big mature bodies into next year's team. Clayton and Jahaziel are big mature bodies to reinforce the DL. Antwaan Owens back. Johnson with over 20 starts at TN to OL. A lot of the younger guys baptized by fire back on both lines. Cooper back on OL. Top 200...

Great fit in so many ways....to our most dire need, to our school, to our team culture. Just a tremendous add, a godsend for the OL which short term needs so much help.

I probably should have just titled this thread "who showed you something this year". 'Emerge' can mean a lot of things.

Agree on Swilling, and C. Thomas. Zamari Walton played a ton as a frosh. Took his licks but also made some plays. I think he will end up being a very good player before all is said and done. Knight is a sick athelete and has a chance to be really good. Has never played LB before, and...

Minihan surprised me at the start of the year before getting hurt. Wouldnt say he is there yet but he got my attention. Thank God for William Lay...he does not figure to be a starter next year but for a walk on he really got it done and kept the OL from complete implosion. Those guys fought and...

Yup, Mason showed he is more than just a B Back. Impressive in pass pro too.

To each their own. I liked what I saw out of the WR group. They are young but making some noise: A. Brown by definition emerged, tying Calvin Johnson's frosh TD record. Carter I had hoped to see more out of early, and I was happy to see him get more involved as the season wore on. I can see...

This is intended to be a fun, non-argumentative thread that recognizes guys for developing as players. I appreciate James Grahm. He showed me: --Will stand in pocket and throw an accurate pass despite being about to be obliterated. Shows toughness, moxy, and vision/sensing he can get it off...

Thread's about CPJ in retirement. No need to take it anywhere else.

Since they are grading Collins on a curve I am buying a 'C'. While the record sucked butt, I believe a culture is being built that will in time be very successful. Recruiting if the class stays intact is a step up. Saw some new players emerge, and the team played hard. Both d and o figure to...

2/3 are changeable but it wont be easy: Fanbase can possibly be built with marketing and becoming the ATL's team. (But ATL is tough market with lots of competition). Maybe have more fun stuff to attract families? Resources will improve if fanbase is built, if ACC network $$ is good, and if...

Disagree. Fonts are taking shots at EACH OTHER, not regimes. CPJ and CGC are just proxies. It's all about ego, being right, built up resentment from prior argumemts, wanting so badly to say "I told you so" or "look at me". There are also posts from folks that are some combo of sheer ignorance...

This is about how I feel, though I do expect some improvement for next year with our guys having gotten 1 season under their belts in the new system. Then more improvement as the guys recruited expressly for this system mature. Some more transfer OL could help. One thing I do like. When I hear...

Definitely has developed over the course of a season. Will be easier for him if the line can improve next year.
