We’re seeing that in the DL. Bo Davis didn’t sign the numbers necessary or the high end elite talent. If you evaluate well you can get by with developing players as long as the pipeline is full. Signing only Sydir Mitchell in the 2023 class on the DL was borderline insane. And to follow that up with only 2 DT in 2024 puts you at a disadvantage headed into the SEC. Praying for a difference maker at DT from the portal is not a strategy you want to rely on.

@Bobby Burton Good article. To make things worse were the lack of impact quarterbacks on the roster during the past 15 years before Ewers and Arch.

@Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel What type of feedback are you hearing on Kenny Baker and recruiting. Is he doing better or worse than you expected at this point. Bo Davis was a good developer of the talent he inherited but he didn’t leave the cupboard full.

Good article. IIRC Babers liked to talk. Who are a couple of players in this years secondary group who are the best trash talkers. I think Babers said during his playing days “no one catches the ball on my side of the field, not even me.” referring to the fact he thought he didn’t have the greatest hands.

Pretty funny:

Thank you. That makes sense. I liked this quote from Nix. “I loved the new linebacker coach. Super smart dude that taught me a lot in a little time.”

If Nix really likes Nansen (his position coach) then what is the reasoning behind another position coach doing the recruiting so far. Seems odd to me.
