Big opportunity for this team

[Lurker123]

I admit 62.5 winning percentage is better than 45%. So, it's not me clinging to anything, it's math clinging to it. Good luck arguing with math. You've lost that fight before.

And nobody was "fired" after beating Tennessee in a record setting performance and beating Clemson in one of the biggest wins in series history.

Delusional to even suggest that. Ridiculously absurd. Just go vote for Kamala and stop embarrassing yourself.

You're an idiot. No one is arguing that 62 isn't higher than 45. But this is what you do. When looking like an idiot, you whine and cry about things other people never said. Then you pretend to have a point. Oh, and don't forget the "i know you are but what am i" defense to being called a liberal. Tells me I hit close to the mark.

But you're right, satterfield wasn't fired after beating tennessee and Clemson. He was shelved the week before those games.

Beat decison Beamer ever made. Imagine if he let Satteffield coach those two games? He wouldn't have those two wins to prop up his whole career.

 

[GoCocksFight2021]

LOL. Delusional nutjob.

But....but...but... there was a phantom play caller that was somehow feeding Satterfield the plays that video showed him calling on the field with the play sheet. And Satterfield went along with that. He pretended to look at the play sheet and faked it so some phantom play caller could that nobody has identified could make the call. But then the phantom play caller just happened to disappear for the bowl game. And the whole coaching staff was in on it. And the players too.

Maybe it was aliens. LOL

Lib tears are funny.

 

[GoCocksFight2021]

Wait!!! Did Satterfield get the vaccine? Maybe the phantom play caller aliens beamed the plays directly into Satterfield's brain thru the 5G chip from the vaccine.

LOL

Below is a really interesting comparison between the pre-NIL & current NIL numbers.

Comparison of 4-years recruiting between USC & A&M with NIL (2021-2024)

5-stars
A&M: 12
USC: 3

4-stars
A&M: 60
USC: 26

Comparison of 4-years recruiting between USC & A&M before NIL (2016-2019)

5-stars
A&M: 2
USC: 1

4-stars
A&M: 43
USC: 26

Takeaways
- Clearly the divide is far greater with the NIL
- The 5-star recruits difference for A&M after the advent of the NIL leaps off the page. (400% increase)
- 40% more 4-stars for A&M too with NIL.
- Muschamp was considered a very good recruiter. Beamer is doing those same figures.

*Please note that the pre-NIL figures would even be more balanced between the two teams if A&M hadn't hired their $100mil coach in Jimbo Fischer which caused a major surge in recruits in 2018 & 2019 -- The Hype Train.

Good Stuff! If college football isn't going to require teams to disclose their NIL budgets, this type of information should be published before games. Based on what you've provided, A&M is going into the game tomorrow with well over 3 times the 4 and 5-star talent than we have.

There is a site that tries to compile talent currently on the team.

2024 College Football Team Talent Composite

In order to create the most comprehensive Team Recruiting Ranking without any notion of bias, 247Sports Team Recruiting Ranking is solely based on the 247Sports Composite Rating.

247sports.com

According to this, A&M beats at 5 stars 7 to 3, and at 4 stars 43 ton27.

So it's a total 50-30 advantage. Differences from recruiting classes is obviously players moving around. There's always mushiness with some sites rating players differently too.

Lurker - That metric is total crap and we've discussed why on many occasions.

But let's go with it for the sake of braindead conversation.

If you had a team with a 67% talent advantage (50-30) going into a game, wouldn't that be awful nice?

There's a reason all of the big brand coaches we know (Saban, etc.) who have survived the test of time are all situated at schools with the top talent.

Thanks. I can't figure out the composite ranking system they are using. They say it's a combination of these sites:

247Sports: 247Sports' own in-house scouting staff evaluations
Rivals.com: Ratings from Rivals.com
ESPN: Ratings from ESPN
On3: Ratings from On3, another industry competitor

If you go to each one and do the calculations, it's nothing close to what they are presenting as a composite figure.

ON 3 has A&M with 12 5-stars and 59 4-stars compared to USC with 2 5-stars and 24 4-stars.

Rivals has A&M with 10 5 stars and 61 4-stars compared to USC with 2 5-stars and 24 4-stars.

ESPN has A&M with 8 5-stars and 57 4-stars compared to USC with 1 5-star and 29 4-stars.

24/7 has A&M with 12 5 stars and 60 4-stars compared to USC with 3 5-stars and 26 4-stars.

Are you accounting for attrition?

 

[PaleoCock]

Nothing about attrition is mentioned in the composite equation. I would assume it's baked in. If it's not, our staff is tearing it up each year during the in-between months which is very unlikely.

Yeah, but it doesn't really matter. The talent gap between us and TAMU is gigantic. If you average those out, they have 5X as many five stars and at least 2X as many four stars. On paper, it shouldn't even be close.

 

[Ward Jr]

Seriously?

This entire premise is yet another grasping-at-straws attempt by both you and Lurker to discredit Beamer and staff.

Bizarre behavior from two "Superfans."

An actual fan of the Gamecocks would always put the Gamecocks above the coach himself.

You guys are the ones who continue to demean the university to try to justify supporting Beamer.

How are we demeaning the coach in this instance, Troller?

Humanities - Add up the numbers he provided for each service and divide by 4.

It's nowhere near what Lurker provided as the composite total.

Maybe the answer lies in is cross-checking Lurker figures.

Trolling, lack of sleep, excessive blue light, and too many boosters have triggered neuroinflammation and cognitive dissonance.

It's unfortunate because you didn't have much to work with before this all began.

Yes, this site attempts to count up the star ratings of current players. It'll fluctuate because different sites rate players differently.

Then, if you count up signed 4 and 5 stars over the years, you'd have to dig into who is still with team, as now more than ever players are moving around a lot.

Regardless, it's a decent shot listing current talent level if you ignore the scores and average numbers and just go with total number 5 stars, 4 stars etc.

Even then, it's not awesome because a 5 star qb is worth a bit more than say a 5 star DE that is playing WR and still trying to learn the position.

As with most things, it considered Bible by some when it supports a point, then it's worthless when it doesn't.

What you still don't seem to grasp is that the divide is an ocean how ever you want to carve it up.

If we happen to pull it out tonight, it will be one hell of a coaching job but you won't care.

It's all about counting up wins at the end of a season

The divide can’t be an ocean otherwise we wouldn’t have beaten Oklahoma.

The difference here is that Lurker and myself will give Beamer appropriate credit if he beats A&M. The problem is you won’t give Beamer appropriate criticism if he loses.

LOL. You are so full of shit. You didn't give Beamer an ounce of credit for beating Oklahoma. You made excuses for Oklahoma and suggested we make White head coach.

Beating TAMU would be a miracle. The talent divide is an ocean. Like the Pacific.

[sclawman77]

I don't want to get ahead of myself but if we can beat A&M like that we can beat anyone left on our schedule. One game at a time though obviously.
