What staff changes? Their HC/DC/DLC have been there since dec 2021.

This is not the whale we were looking for

My original take on Mario was this. He has a ceiling as a coach, imo. To me, he’s a 10 win per year kind of coach and a stockpiler of talent. It was an easy decision to hire him. After 5 years of talent acquisition, if he can’t break through that 10 win mark, he’ll start getting the hot seat...

“Hanging around” is the equivalent of “hat on the table” or “having good conversations.”

He was a recruiter for that area when he was on VT’s staff and he also cut his teeth as a crooter while at uGA and OU

That’s the word from osu folks. Osu was slow to get onto the NIL train and missed out on key recruits. They have supposedly rectified the situation the last couple cycles

It will be the usual excuses - - X school offered him more and we didn’t want to overpay - our NIL package was not strong - 5-7 - JT is a first year coach - etc etc

It’s very well possible that we end up 3rd or worse for virtually all of our top DL targets. Can’t explain that.

Has anyone seen Dennis smith lately?

Your callout is fair but I'm not a pumper thinking we're going to get everyone. I tend to be on the pessimist side especially regarding DL recruiting against the big boys. But, as far as the guys you mentioned, I have not been pessimistic about all of them. I think Simmons and Stone go...

I love to be an optimist and all but ****, this is a pipe dream imo

Beamer’s been recruiting the dmv area for many years - has a lot of connects

There is a very likely scenario where this is true. Too much smoke especially the last two. ****, I don’t even feel as good about Stewart as I used to.

I’ve been to Columbia a few times. It may not be Tuscaloosa but it’s nowhere near Miami.

Agree that SC should be taken seriously given beamer’s connections to the dmv area and the fact that they have some DC area kids. Also, not all city kids want a city environment in college.

Where’d you see that they are confident?

So? They still got him regardless of reason

I wouldn’t dismiss SC so easily considering they got harbor last year

I've counted 3 since last week alone that have intimated that Stone wasn't coming.

Slowly but surely, the insiders (there have been a few) are hinting that stone ain’t coming.
