I always separate the two. hes an ELITE recruiter. hes an average coach at best. the hope is he either gets a superstar at QB a la Caleb Williams type or he stacks enough talent for the next guy to take us over the top.
he looks good once he got comfortable. also, I know x gets a bad rap bc TVD looked for him all the time, but hes a stud for us and absolutely needed next year
mario has a higher ceiling bc of his recruiting. i think schiano is likely a slightly better coach but w.e. amount hes better than mario in, its negated due to the high end recruiting mario gives us
i wanna see citizen honestly. i know what what fletch and allen can do. citizen hasnt played in 2 years really. give him the snaps and see if he can be the guy we recruited post injury
t
there isnt a lot these kids (esp draft eligible ones) can do in these games that will suddenly change their position drastically vs the risk of getting injured and falling out altogether.
he could have just sat out like kids did before the one year transfer rule. kids could always transfer. on top of that, tvd is a grad transfer i believe so he would have been eligble right away anyways at his next spot.
i know the local media said mario didnt release the names of who traveled. i assume there is a depth chart out there for the media (i think were forced to release one)
