The 4* south Fl guys have been go enough to win. The reality is there is no silver bullet. Playing the bag game is not an option nor is it a guarantee. Just ask U Miss or Gene Autry (who attempted to out-Steinbrenner Steinbrenner in the late 70s). We have to have a scheme that can beat the...

Maybe they got cover from the NCAA. Isn't the head of the NCAA the former president of LSU and in Saban's pocket?

The thing that's different is not the bags. I knew guys that got bags in the 70s and I'm sure there are people who can go back farther. The biggest change are the camps, recruiting sites, and internet enabled apps that let recruits self-promote. It makes it harder to find under the radar guys...

I'm not so sure it's about finding a diamond in the rough or catching lightning in a bottle. I'm not even sure that years ago there were mis-evaluations of 3*s that should have been 5*'s. These are high school kids many of whom don't mature physically until they are seniors. Butch always held...

IMO the camps had more to do with it than the internet and recruiting sites.. It showcased their talent earlier. Otherwise the internet and recruiting sites would have nothing to write about. A case in point is the above mentioned Sean Taylor (that everyone likes to bring up). He went to a...

I don't think anyone's defending it. It was over the top. However, most don't seem to be reacting to how he left but just that he left...and they're taking it very personal, calling for people's head a what not.

Agreed:)

I'm calling bullsh@t on this. We never recruited and got a strangle hold on the "elite" talent in So Fla. The truly elite from So Fla were known nationally going back to the 60's. You can field a HOF all star team of Dade country kids that didn't go to UM. The first "national recruit" I...

Yes , we can all cite exceptions. But, if you look at it in aggregate are they just data points. Overall, for the last 15 years, have we done a good job developing our talent. For Christ sakes, the mantra on here is that annually, we're the most talented team in the Coastal and we've won it...

It's already been put on the masthead by Coker, Shannon, Golden, etal. It's up to Manny to show it's changed.

… but they weren't. And I believe that's the point. Anyone that saw Joe Jackson as a freshman, would have sworn he was on the fast track to be an All American and a high draft pick. Now, we mostly remember his limitations and that he left too early to overcome them (which were always there...
