On AJ Haulcy…

Can you elaborate on who is a “stud” at DT?

Is it Blay? The guy who played in the worst conference in America and while he was excellent there, didn’t exactly perform well against NC State and Arkansas, the only two P4 teams of note?

Is it Justin Scott? Who has played less than 110 snaps of collegiate football and didn’t do anything of note last season, yet we’re trusting him to be our godsend this year and play 400+ snaps?

Is it Moten? The guy that’s entering year 4 and had 1 sack and 18 tackles last season? Graded out with a 41.8 tackling score on PFF?

I mean put the pipe down dude 😂😂.

Contrary to popular belief on here from the bully slurpers, it’s ok to admit we’re not #1 at every position in America. And DL is certainly a concerningly thin room that lacks talent and experience.
OK, let me reword it, I think we have three good, to very good defensive tackles on our roster that are ready to be in the two deep. I also believe all three of them have the ability to be studs out there. Only thing we need is a number four defensive tackle out of the portal and I hope we get one. The point of my post was, I do not think our defensive tackle room is a weakness on this team. Not with the size and athleticism we have in that room.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up with his recruiting.
Tell me he is a mediocre recruiter and it doesn’t bother me. Relationship building is no longer as critical in the NIL era. We’ve got plenty of other staff members that get paid to do that.

Tell me his game planning and ability to develop players is mid, and I’m furious…again.

I want what’s been missing - a shrewd defensive coordinator that can adapt to whatever the offense is throwing at him, puts his players in a position to succeed, and eventually gets the most from his players given their abilities.

If he does that, no issues from me concerning his (lack of) recruiting abilities.

Personally, I’m good with my DC’s being mid recruiters, as long as his defense is winning us games. That remains to be seen.

In this case, he runs the LB’s room and we need to upgrade tremendously with that position.

This confirms some of y’all just be talking. Blay didn’t play well vs arkansas? Go rewatch that film sir. He had 5 tackles, 2tfls, and a sack. That’s not playing well? He was a little quiet vs Nc st but still had 3 tackles and a tfl. So being the only real threat on the d-line he performed at a high level vs those 2 power 4 teams
 
If I was BIG10 and SEC I wouldnt want to expand any further.

Put the screws in tight, and make Miami, Clemson, FSU, and BIG 12 teams jobs harder, while not having to divide up the pie anymore.

Now I understand they would try to renogotiate if they added teams, but it open the opportunity to more teams by allowing them in the "POWER 2", thus giivng your current programs less of a competitive advantage than they currently have.

Make the demand much higher than supply, and raise your product value anymore.

Maybe Im way off on the economics just spitballing another perspective.

Not “elite” by any means, and those weeks 8-11 grades against New Mexico State, UTEP, Jax State and Sam Houston isn’t “elite” either. I watched the film. If you think that’s elite play, then lord help your Football IQ. ESPECIALLY NC State 😂😂

See, I back it up with stats and facts.

You not only be “just talking”. You be “just slurping”.

He’s good. We did need him. He’s not elite. People on this board need to stop throwing that word around as if it applies to 50% of our roster.

Colin Simmons is elite. Jeremiah Smith is elite. TJ Parker is elite. Keldric Faulk is elite. Francis Mauigoa is elite.

so are coaches still confident or is North Korea done feeding lies To d money?


This is not about lies or confidence.

Haulcy was ready to pick Miami, he had his AMLI lease to be signed, and then his agent called to tell him he thought he could get more.

That's what happened. This isn't "he never wanted to come to Miami". Yes, Miami wasn't his first preference, but he was just about to pick us. Then the agent games started, and he will likely now get less after-tax money to play in Baton Rouge. Unless LSU wants to bid against themselves.

There is no 2.3 million or any-other-million offer for Haulcy.

Nobody gives af about no pff. They also said Wes was one of the best LBs vs the run and pass through the first 9 weeks of the season. Do you believe that? Do your eyes show you that? Going by pff Francis isn’t elite but you just said he was so which is it?

Dgaf bout none of that goofy gày slurp shît you keep talking bout cause I never said Blay was elite. But to say he didn’t play well is bs. Those numbers vs a sec opponent playing for the team he was on is great. So he should’ve had 8tfls and 5 sacks? Y’all fûckin ridiculous

Didn’t seem like much of a factor with the other kids we picked up. Beck came here after playing in the big bad SEC. How is it determined that the conference is a factor when picking schools?

These undsrcover sec fans want it to be.

They wabt to sit at the cool table with their friends who are sec fans.

Coaching hs ball ive never really heard kids say their picking schools cause of the sec conference or big ten conference.

Like you would think Miaminfans of all would understand this but seems most would drop their draws to be in starkeville miss in the middle of october
 
When has he done it in a game? And oj wasn’t even practicing
Demari looked really solid early in that UF game then bascially got a season ending injury in 2nd quarter.

Made a great physical play on a jet sweep sorta blew it up, then had 2 Pass break ups on Badger I think. Gave up 1 pass on a perfect outside shoulder throw on sideline by Mertz, but had good coverage.

On Blay, 6'4 and 304 atheltic DT, Cooper Petengna says has a 5th round grade right now. Seems solid to me

Not a very bright kid then. Are there no adults around him to counter the sharks?

So we haven’t turned the page on him? Or are we in a holding pattern.

Facts. Maybe this kid is an outlier. But given a roughly equivalent NIL deal, there's an 80% chance he prefers LSU because of Raymond and a 19.9% chance he prefers LSU because he likes the school (women) & recent program history more than Miami. The chances it's because of SEC vs ACC are 0.1%.

Keep saying SEC, SEC, SEC, and maybe the brand eventually takes off. It's definitely stronger than 10 years ago when it first started to be marketed. Recent NFL draft results reinforce the messaging. But Miami had the #1 draft and the exact same number of overall picks vs. LSU (7). It's just not a thing right now.

Exactly, and especially at DT.
