If you want to get into a discussion about moving goalposts for Cristobal

Can also be true that he's an elite recruiter at certain positions but not at others. I definitely think Cristobal helped with Trader so he has proven he can get elite WRs in addition to his elite recruiting at other positions. Joe S. helped land one of the best OL we've ever had. Do you...

I've cast doubt on hiring an elite recruiter without elite recruiter money. Hence my comparisons to buying magic beans because the rumor is it will grow into a magical beanstalk. Some fans think being an elite recruiter means he Cristobal can go head to head to Nick Saban, whisper sweet...

He's an elite recruiter. Not sure why you think this is a "gotcha" moment. My concern all along has been that elite recruiters without elite NIL money are going to miss on a lot of top kids. He got a great skill position player. Beard earned his paycheck too. As for DT - I don't think Joe...

This is the recruiting equivalent of the MTSU game.

Well we do have a numbers problem. So they got that half right

He's the dirty little secret... Pretty much every coach, even Saban would find himself in the same situation. We don't have the NIL money. That's just how it is right now. So that's why you need a coach who is an elite scheme guy, to figure out how to get most out of the handful of top...

If you drew a Venn Diagram that had two circles: 1. People who believe that there are head coaches who are elite recruiters even without bags 2. People who believe they can learn the secrets of the five finger death punch from a a guy claiming to be a 10th degree blackbelt in ninjitsu...

Lol prepare yourself for an attack by the "But he can recruit Polynesians" crowd

Oh did he have a bunch of top WRs in the class last year? I must have missed it. It's great he can recruit OL at an incredibly high level and boost the recruiting rankings. He is elite at recruiting OL. No doubt about that. Unfortunately winning teams tend to require someone to throw the...

Im easily convinced- all it takes is one elite WR to commit and I'll believe Cristobal is an elite recruiter.

Fair enough. Maybe Mario is moving in silence like lasagna and we will all be jumping for joy in August. All I know can with 100% certainty is that Cristobal was the first coach in UM history to make UM football completely unwatchable. At least Diaz teams would occasionally make games...

Again where is my double standard? I praise when things are good and criticize when things are bad. Was it unreasonable to question whether Mark Richt could recruit the same at UM as he did at UGA? Mario is a great recruiter. I never said he wasn't. However, I think he sh#t the bed so badly...

The only people who don't love a good roast are overly sensitive people or those without a sense of humor. What was "good guy" Henry Fondas greatest role? Obviously the answer is Frank, the black hat villain in Once Upon a Time in the West because he played against type. And you would...

Wow - Did Phil Knight follow Cristobal to UM? I must have missed the press release. He's been a great recruiter at Alabama and Oregon. Cristobal has had one good year of recruiting OL at UM. I'm not going to assume he can recruit UM the same way he recruited Bama and Oregon until he shows...

I think a lot of coaches are interchangeable. One good one can be replaced by another good one. There are a few coaches where that isn't the case. 5 star DBs want to play for Deion Sanders because they think he's going to teach them how to be elite an DB. The 5 star DL recruits want to get...

He recruited two 5 stars on the offensive line. Cristobal can absolutely recruit offensive line. I have no doubt of that. I have doubts on whether he can recruit 5 star WRs and QBs. As for DL, few would dispute that Joe Salavea is on the staff for his ability to recruit Polynesian players...

I will do the same with recruiting. I'm not going to look at Cristobals history and project out the season at 1-0. That's dumb. Each season is different. And if you want an honest assessment, his track record is that he's established himself as a terrible game day coach so unless he has a...

I should get banned for pointing out a truth - that our 2024 class is essentially entirely made up of 3 star players and it remains to be seen if Cristobal will land a five star this cycle? I dont hope or speculate- I leave that to the slurpers. I look at the facts as they stand today.
