Results divided by expectations predict this.

Louisiana did a good job of resetting expectations.

This is going to be the new normal. Saban and Jimbo are expecting 30%-40% roster turnover between transfers, NIL, and graduation.

They are only concerned with recruiting the top talent and let the chips fall where the fall.

Our staff should have the same approach. Recruiting a kid and expecting to have him two or three years later is naive in today's college football environment.

I think it is time to scrap the term "Student Athlete". That term has always annoyed me. I think the Portal and NIL have proven that these guys (most of them) go to college to play ball. Going to class is just something that they are required to do to stay eligible while working on their game or looking where to transfer to. If degrees in General Studies, Sociology, Criminal Justice and Kinesiology, were eliminated, it would be very interesting to see how many would actually remain eligible and earn a degree!

No one's talking about the 5 guys ranked as 3 stars. It's the 10 with zero rank. Is it the end all, be all? No. Are there outliers? Of course. And people keep bringing up Kamryn Waites. Well, to my knowledge, he hasn't proved anything yet. But it proves the point. 2/3 of our commits are complete projects. People can put their head in the sand and sunshine pump if they wish, but the truth is staring back at us. Our recruiting has taken a nose dive. It is what it is.

So people that are optimistic and supportive of the coaching staff are sunshine pumpers? The facts are that the four highest rated recruits in Ragin' Cajun history, per 247, were signed or committed to this coaching staff: Dubose, Edwards, Horne and Anderson. I understand your argument that the ratings depth may not be apparent, but the top end talent is better than has ever been committed.

But the student athletes in the past who got Physical Ed degrees were scholars?? Hmmm
Kinesiology is the main feed into Phys Therapy and Chiropractic medicine. Not an easy path.
I understand your concern but don’t think we have many easy degrees anymore.

General Business. Business management,Education, political science, and any number of liberal arts degrees.

Wouldn’t it be much more beneficial if it were possible for some guys to learn a trade while they are here instead of the alternatives?
