Absolutely correct. Even Coach Neon can recruit Tywone...

Yeah, we just lost another formerly-decent poster to the whole myth-building "I'm going to emulate a fictional movie character" schtick...

I didn't say it's not "fair" to "blame" Joe because they all share "equal" responsiblities. Those are just words you attributed to me to push your narrative. I said it's not right or accurate to solely blame Joe for the DT recruiting. There were issues before Joe was hired. There were...

Nobody is saying it is "equal" or "60-40" or whatver other overly-simplistic answer your overly-simplistic brain seems to crave. We are pointing out that "not lining up a huge DT in the Portal" might be a bit more complex than just "blame Joe".

You should actually read what you just wrote, and apply it to yourself. I'm not "emotionally invested in defending a person". But you have absolutely proven that you are emotionally invested in attacking a person. You are a one-note repetitive mope. I'm willing to look at both the good and...

Except you're wrong. Jason Taylor was here last year and was recruiting guys then too. Has nothing to do with his official date of becoming an on-field coach. And multiple people have disabused you of the notion that JT is recruiting only D-ends while Joe is recruiting DTs. Of course, you're...

And let's make this really, really simple. First, Jason Taylor is ALSO recruiting DT. And we've had some of the HS recruits say some really great things. So if some of these Portal guys are not choosing to be coached by an NFL Hall-of-Famer (and Joe), then maybe there are other issues at...

Nothing wrong with Joe. He's not as dynamic a recruiter as Mario, but his breath don't stink and his drawers are clean (pause). Remember that old CB coach that we had who was supposed to be such an anti-social weirdo?

Incredibly fair points. We need to stay aggressive, be alert (for grad-transfers), and hope that someone will take a chance on us. Then we go out and try to win as many games as possible, and do this all over again one more time a year from now.

Right now, the "Portal" is like a game of chess, strategically speaking...but a bare-knuckles chess game that hardly has any rules or standards of decency.

Please, Harrell, heal. Please heal.

Yeah, we have to get at least one DT and one WR to get to a B+, as anyone we get will be imperfect. Then, we'd need to see 2023 on-field performance to potentially give a retroactive grade-change to something in the A range.

Should be a B+. Goes down to B- for DT/WR. If we land a WR, I'd take it to a generous B.

Look, I realize that Partridge is one of the factors. But the bigger issue is that the schools that Tywone was more interested in did not prioritize him and backed off of him when he got hurt. Ole Miss stayed involved, had a DC from NJ, and they eventually got Tywone on National Signing Day...

He might possibly make the 2-deep this season now that he is 100%-football. Will be interesting to see if his love of Taint outweighs the crappiness of sitting on the bench.

Yes. It's impossible to prove without texts and e-mails, but you can connect the dots between Taint pursuing two other DTs more aggressively in 2020-21 and the kid's desire to play baseball, as well as the SUDDEN appearance of a committable offer now that the kid is willing to drop baseball...

He already said he's not playing baseball any longer. Football-only at Taint.

Tywone was being recruited by Ohio Taint (same position coach) a couple of years ago. Covid messed up things in 2020 as far as visits and whatnot, and Tywone got injured in his senior year. He was supposed to pick a school in December, but pushed things back to February Signing Day once he was...

Why can't people figure this out? Taint made the offer committable once they realized he was about to pick Miami. Not that shocking to realize Taint was his dream school.

It's Moper Festivus. Prepare yourself for the Airing of Grievances...
