2022 Recruiting Board/Thread

This years OL haul is impressive. How many of the seven OL we signed play substantial time this next season?

Three during first half of season.

1. Campbell

2. Banks

3. Neto

You may see Agbo and Cam Williams before season's end.

Some of you should understand, these guys are better than what we have on campus. All they need to do is learn. Painful at first, but you're creating a monster in the end.

I think this is where the portal may actually be good for the players. Heck, go wherever you think is best for you out of high school but if you realize the situation isn't ideal, make a move. Some will realize they aren't going to see the field at a power 5 school and maybe need to drop down a classification. Some will have an opportunity for upward mobility (think Isaiah Neyor) to move to a higher profile program or just to make a move to a better roster situation.

Yes, some players will make ill advised moves or lack the patience to see the original plan through - which could possibly benefit them more in the long run. Ultimately, players should have the option to be able to make their own choice about where to play - just like we all have the ability to make our own choice about where we work.

But they only get that choice once, which I think is a smart move on the NCAA's part.

So if you find you're unhappy at your next stop. You better learn to adapt and improvise.

I tend to agree with this. 1 freebie if you make an oopsie or things just don't pan out as expected (or your coach leaves, etc). After being on two campuses, if it still isn't working, changing to a third probably isn't the answer. Beyond that, if you take care of business in the classroom you earn a 2nd free transfer as a grad transfer.

100% agree! We are talking about 17 year olds making these choices. They deserve a little grace and are often fed a ton of lies to get the signature. But after awhile it becomes a trend for the kid.

So you think Angilau will be beatout at  guard? To me tackle is weak spot.

I will not be shocked if we have 2 true freshman starting on the O-line against ULM.

If your coach leaves everyone should get an extra freebie.

They'd be passing up the next 50K from UT in leaving. It's essentially a $200K or $250K deal spread over 4-5 years. 

Thanks. I thought it was a one time deal.

Overall great class despite the season we had but the biggest question can the coaches develop these recruits? 

Have a little faith baby, have a little faith.
