It has effect... All recruits like to hear what fans are saying about them. These kids look at these boards and what is said on here(good or bad) may be the deciding factor on whether he comes or not.. Try and think before posting a comment about a recruit and ask yourself"if this were my son, how would my statement affect him and his decision making". Jmo
Somehow I think the success level of the program, the success level of the coach and the prospects of getting a shot at the next level are probably a bit higher on the decision scale but that’s just me.
It may be but what is said here negatively about a young man can only hurt us. A big time recruit may be on the fence and he sees negative comments on our board and positive on the other board. He picks the other school. You would be surprised how much the little things matter.
Yeah those little things like winning. When we lose a recruit to Bama over a message board post we’ll know we’ve made it.
Have you seen the obvious racist undertones yall spew? Im sure that would impact it more than anything if it has any impact.
I can get behind the first two lines but Muschamp’s record at two stops now has gotten worse with the guys he hand picks. Maybe he should listen to the internet talent evaluators.
Can you name one kid that's been singled out and trashed? I sure haven't seen it. People are upset with the overall makeup of this class -- which doesn't have a single difference maker in it so far -- and justifiably so. There have been multiple studies that prove that in order to compete for national championships, programs have to have so many classes finish in the top 10 in recruiting.
I have seen zero evidence of this in the win column.
Every 3 star recruit announcement the last month DeepfriedCock has trolled with “Just another 3 Star”. It is classless troll behavior to demean a kid in their commitment thread just because you don’t like the coach.
He's not calling any kid out by name. He also hasn't said anything untrue, to my knowledge. I obviously can't stop you from getting upset about it. But he's been consistent with his thoughts on our recruiting. Posting one's honest thoughts is the exact opposite of trolling.
I think mush could get all 5* and maybe win 6-7 games, The man sucks as a coach
This has to be the most melodramatic post of the year. The only thing what will shock the world is if Muschamp survives this year.
So starting an entire thread that discusses how lackluster and underwhelming our recruiting is is better than responding to this thread where people are often celebrating how we are not bringing in any difference makers? To me, it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. To each their own though.
That's your prerogative. Myself and others choose to be realistic.
Well it isn’t working in the SEC and apparently isn’t enough to out talent the Sun Belt either.
Every school brings in a few 3* guys to complement their high level recruits. Even Clemson, Oklahoma, Alabama, LSU and UGA. Some are underrated and will turn out to be stars. Others will serve as role players and substitutes for 4 years and give their all to the University. The foregoing depends a great deal on the person but also the quality of coaching and leadership on the team. But you cannot build a playoff team with just 3* players and a mediocre coaching staff. It will not happen.
Did you copy and paste this from a post when Spurrier's recruiting began to concern people?
It’s a coaching issue. App State out coached and outplayed us. They were more motivated to beat us than we were to play them. Definitely wasn’t a talent issue.
How do you know that their aren't difference makers in this class? You have absolutely no idea if a recruit is a difference makers or not based on someone sitting at a computer evaluating Seniors in HS.. Craziest post in a while and that says Alot.
This^.... We have 4 star players all over the field. A few of those 4 star players, if evaluated now, would be 5 star( Horn, Robinson, possibly Muk, Jones... We have some studs man. We will be much better.
1. I'm simply playing the odds. As I've said multiple times in the past, there are the occasional 3 stars that turn out to be difference makers (like Shaw, Ingram). But the majority of them turn out to be role players -- which are definitely needed. But you have to have those difference makers if you want to compete at at an elite level.
Fair enough, but there are more 3 star difference makers than there are 4 and 5 star difference makers in the NFL.
It’s an old article but it explains why that is and why it doesn’t change the impact of 4 and 5 star recruits.
Your telling Lie. I usually comment " 3 star U" get it right. And how is 3☆ star a degratory term?
The term 3☆ must be the next thing to be canceled.
Sounds like a lame recruiting pitch from the Old School movie. Blue, you’re my boy!
Yeah but what we do know is. No team has won a SEC Championship consistently recruiting below average in the SEC. Boom sold his self as a recruiter. So far he hasn't had a class finish in the Top 6 in the Conference. With Pruitt at Tennessee at best our class is gonna finish 4th in the East. Some people feel good that we have top 25 classes, but when 7 or 8 teams are ahead of you in your Conference your not closing the gap.
True. But they didn't all come from the same couple of programs, which is what we would need to happen in order to have great success with a majority of this level of recruits. Which is why many of us are unhappy with it.
