Look forward to seeing how he responds with a new coaching staff. His broken field instincts are terrific man to man. Want to see if he can feel the seams before they open up, because if he can, he’s really special in terms of speed, change of speed, and fluidity.

True that no one is hester. But imo much of that is instinct. Not sure you can really learn it. It’s a side point because thomas can be a really good returner for us. But this is a discussion board amd its the off-season....

My sense watching Thomas is he knows how to lose a guy and has the pure speed to be dangerous in turns, but I’m less convinced he sees the field the way the great returners do. Hester would feel where space was going to open up, and moderate his speed to time his burst for the perfect moment.

Is there any other assistant coach on the team where a group of fans desperately fight over how to give him credit for every kid on tne rooster? It’s his job to develop kids. He shouldn’t get applause for doing his job. Let’s agree he does it at least reasonably well. Okay. But it’s only...

Parrish was good as well.

Yep. That was my point re coker / hester. Hester excelled in so many ways on ST. Kicking has been really frustrating recently, along with coverage and returns. Field position is so important. Richt really didn’t focus on it enough. He didn’t focus on a lot of things enough.

Eh, i agree a bit but what makes you think boykin is a guy the staff thinks os worthwhile? Because a recruiting site got people excited about him? At the end of the day, you cant aspire to tell a staff who to recruit. But you can judge the results. Fill the roster. Evaluate well...

True.

As anything. When Manny Diaz recruits all time NFL players but we argue about the position, send me a PM. Until then, I’ll buy you a drink when our return and ST game resembles anything we used to be proud of.

Why? Just because hope springs eternal? Richt himself played three golden DBs + Bandy last season (and Bandy had to beg us to recruit him). Maybe Blades, Frierson, Ivey and Hall will make people forget Elder, Burns, Howard, M. Jackson, Jaquan, Redwine and Jenkins. I highly doubt they will...

Golden brought in the No.1 CB in the country along with the No.6 S in the same year. Followed it up with Artie Burns, Jamal Carter and Rayshawn the next year. Pretty solid. Shannon in ‘08 brought in four 4* DBs, including the No.3 overall CB in the country (Harris). Coker brought in some...

Well there are always some guys who will be better than others. Richt really ignored D recruiting for the most part. Not sure he managed O recruiting either but he put his best recrruiters there. He had co-OC Brown, Donk aduggans and Hartley recruiting O. His son and Searels, sigh.

Richt recruited lazily and allowed his assitants to as well.

Maybe we should make Brevin Jordan a DB coach, considering he’s the guy who brought in Bolden.

Emerson was supposed to be coming here as of yesterday. Bubba is not new news. Bubbe was known when Emerson was on his Ov, iirc.

We just hired the guy Saban and Harbaugh wanted as OC, and you’re telling me we can’t possibly upgrade at DB?

i disagree in so many ways. The choice isnt whether two have TWO ****** recruiters as DB coaches or a disastrous corch there. That’s failure type thinking. We could have one coach there who can coach but not recruit, and one who can recruit. Or one good technical coach, and reallocate a...

This is irrefutable.

Whatever. It’s pointless to discuss recruiting if your attitude is that kids would be wrong to go elsewhere. You do not know the kid, his values, his experiences, his interests, his preferences, his circumstances, anything. Saying UM is a clearly superior choice outsode of football is silly...

I hear this whole education blah blah far too often around UM sites. You’re delusional if you think it is seriously relevant to most recruits. You’re talking about a pool of kids who wouldn’t be qualified to get admitted to most of the schools they go to, and who don’t take serious classes...
