Jayden Bonsu Commits to O$U... Next

[Dwinstitles]

Weird we don't get elite dbs anymore. They pay too dollar for them dudes. James Williams one was a shocker to me. We need those Surtains and McLain's of the world. Can we get some of them UGA OSU Bama? Sheeeeeesh

Kenny Phillips was a top 2-3 safety in the country and 1st rd pick

Yes he was a first round pick but that wasn’t based on his play at Miami. Reggie Nelson, LaRon Landry, Eric Weddle, and Michael Griffin were the elite safeties.

Phillips wasn’t even on the 3rd team All American list

 

[JgDaCane]

I’m sorry I should have been clear. I was referring to first team. They weren’t stars, bro.

JaQuan was a star in college. 100%.

Kenny was an elite college safety, he was just stuck on some bad Miami teams.

I disagree. Stars are all-Americans and award winners IMO

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Really not impressed with Addae thus far

I'm not ready to say anything about him yet, but the fact you're sitting on him....

I remember the coaching search and your *****ing and whining, so, Addae's luck will turn around, just because of your hating.

And I'm not mad about it.

Reverse jinx?

 

[P-Tizzle]

I disagree. Elite win awards and are all Americans.

ER20 and ST are our latest elite safeties IMO

 

[PRcane787]

He wasn’t a take anyways…

Am I doing that right?

 

[AtlAtty]

Addae sounds very intelligent in interviews. I'm sure he's making significant efforts on the recruiting trail (it's a must if you want to work for Mario). We do need to win more of the DB battles going forward for sure. How many of the elite DBs remaining are waiting all the way until the end before making a decision? Do we need to reserve judgment until signing day?

Yes

 

[NorthEastCane]

I disagree. Stars are all-Americans and award winners IMO

That's a pretty narrow opinion. Edgerrin James was a star, yet he wasn't an All American. So was Otis Anderson. Same with Jim Kelly and Michael Irvin. And I can go on.

 

[KrazyCane]

Lmfao since you acting like a groupie Laron Landry was trash Eric Weddle was trash Michael Griffin was trash and Reggie Nelson was trash. Kenny Phillips was better than all of them and definitely Brandon Meriweather.

 

[PoppaTop]

I disagree. Elite win awards and are all Americans.

ER20 and ST are our latest elite safeties IMO

Jaquan was a 2nd team All American. I’d say that qualifies.

 

[L A M P]

You should be able to recruit and develop at Miami

He was top recruiter in nation last year so you’re making the point for him. Give him a winning product to sell & my man can recruit as well!

Williams was because of Covid yeah?

 

[JHallCanes]

Well to be fair no program in the country has guys that stack up with Ed and Sean

I get your point but we’ve recruited some highly ranked safeties which I thought was the topic in the first place

But I misunderstood I guess

We still have not done well outside of a few guys though so I agree regardless

 

[L A M P]

Its both, we need elite talent for the future and development for the current players. We don't win anything with average DBs and no coach magically makes them elite

If you’re talking OL, then sure.. we need talent infusion. As is, we have the talent to win in our secondary.

The goal is always to keep adding but winning now would make it a much easier task to land elite guys

 

[Bicho]

Bonsu told by OSU he is a backup plan and going to choose them over UM.

Good for him

 

[Pizzle]

No no according to his logic it’s only first team all Americans. There’s only 1 elite QB allowed a year in college football.

It’s why I’m always weary of just hiring position coaches from places like Bama/UGA etc, it’s really hard to tell exactly how good they really are as recruiters at Powerhouse programs like that.

You could pretty much just take a Goldfish & slap a Bama/UGA sticker on the side of its tank & it would still sign a bunch of 4/5-star players at whichever position.

I’m waiting to see what the product on the field looks like & how the class finishes out, but it will be interesting to see what happens next offseason; Mario’s staffs usually have quite a bit of turnover from season to season.

Need to fire up the CIS collective for Raymond.
