Kendrick Norton and Corn Elder

Sooooo...

4-star Corn Elder turns out to be a good CB and all of a sudden we forget about all the oblivious evaluations he's made on other prospects? (Nate Dortch, Danny Dilliard, Larry Hope, etc)

Yet they couldn't see that Fabian Moreau was gonna be a good CB when he was coming out of high school as a Running Back? (in their own backyard)

Let's pull out our pom poms for Golden hitting on a 4-star prospect that had offers from everybody. GO GOLDEN!!!

Golden and staff are pretty good at everything outside the game. The game is their problem, not recruiting and developing players. Most coaches would have enough self awareness to understand this and would have improved. He doesn't seem to.

Really?

Look at our roster. Half the scholarship players will be on an NFL roster in the coming years.
 
What if Elder and Burns leave early? That CB position would be scary thin and inexperienced.

Naww there were more then a few people who wanted him at RB and a few others who wanted him "with the ball in his hands" I was all for COrner

I admit, i was one of those who wanted him on offense and thought he had a similar skillset, though not quite as fast, as DeAnthony Thomas. Oddly enough, he decided to go to Oregon because USC thought his future was at CB and he wanted to play offense.

I think Corn has proved he could be extremely dangerous with the ball in his hands, so those of us who wanted him on offense, werent entirely wrong either. I believe he could be successful playing both ways.
 
One thing that people are forgetting is that Corn landed in Goldens lap. They werent even recruiting him at all. He ended up not signing with anyone on signing day and Fentress is the one who told the coaches he was interested. This staff pretty much ignored him until they struck out on signing day and then had to start turning over stones to try to find more recruits. Elder is here because he really wanted to be here, in spite of this staff ignoring him for the entire recruiting cycle.
 
Just because Corn is a good CB doesn't mean he wouldn't have been a great playmaker on offense if he played there. If guys liked him with the ball in his hands how were they proven wrong by him doing well at CB?

Kne could argue that given out lack of speed at receiver and propensity for bubble screens he might have been more valuable there. The defense sucks with or without him.

I know you weren't high on this kid, but their $h!ttee recruitment of McKenzie tells you all you need to know. At His post NSD PC, He had the nerve to say He was looking for length at DB/CB, when you had kids like McKenzie & D.Davis in your own backyard...$h!tted on those kids to chase a pipe dream in NJ named Minkah Fitzpatrick. This whole SWAG16 crap is a front, as if all of a sudden they found this magic elixir to recruiting SoFlo. These cats can't recruit SoFlo, that's why they've outsourced recruiting to Baez & Company.

Isaiah McKenzie? I love that kid! Wanted him here all along.

Or are you talking about McFadden?

Yeah, I wasn't really high on that kid but I thought about it and you know what, I think that's the type of kid you have to offer anyway. You can find a spot for him at boundary Corner, playing press coverage with those long arms, or move him to Safety if CB doesn't work out.

Maybe so. (time will tell)

But I prefer to focus more on the kids that we didn't offer (or missed on) that will not only be on NFL rosters but will likely be high picks. Or kids from South Florida that end up going to Louisville and then get drafted to the league.

So glad someone said this for me. Lol. Each year our recruiting class rankings have gone down the further we've gotten away from the spooky cloud
