Pedescleaux to Tulane

almost like its being orchestrated intentionally or something

Considering this mindset the reactions here are very disappointing. Someone plots against your own and the prevailing reaction is “I give up” and “why bother at this point.”

The former 5-stars that find themselves riding the bench do not lack skills.

P5 schools will be a bigger talent graveyard than they have ever been.

Ripe for the cheap picking.

[Turbine]

Better yet, list the reasons why said 5 star recruits aren't starting or even in the 2-deep.

Simple, schools like Alabama have 80 of them with two full teams worth of 5-stars riding the bench.

Unless you hit the field, like a Trey Amos, you can't get noticed and your career is over.

That is a question that suffers from myopia.

The answer is, find "former" 5-star players who haven't seen the field and don't want their last check to be a NIL check.

I see what you are saying. When they steall our kids that they over looked in the recruiting process, we should take their kids that were a bust and didn't pan out. And you think that will make us better how? And if they didn't work out in college where do you think that next check will come from if not NIL? You think it is harder to make it at Florida or LSU than the Saints or Cowboys?

They are only considered a "bust" as you say because there were 3 All-Americans in front of them.

Example: Trey Amos would have never made it as far as he has if he had "started" his Collegiate career at Alabama.

Damn, mighty mouse was my favorite player

You have to build a team year to year. Developing and building a team is dead.

Hyprebole, Turbine.

247 only recognizes 30 5 star recruits. Rivals is similar.

Alabama couldn't possible have two teams of 5 star recruits, much less 80 on their roster.

And there are 270 4 star recruits. Not a whole lot of availability there.


The 5 star classification doesn't allow for a whole of error. And you're expeting the 65-70 G5s to sort through the refuse of this group plus the 4 stars to find players who can suitably replace players?

So you're probably going to be sorting through 3 star recruits to replace your players.

You've made the argument that when one player goes in, another necessariy has to go out. No disagreement.

Here's the difference.

What they are getting is a pearl or a diamond.

What we'd very possibly be getting is the remnants of Walmart Ole' Roy.

Again, almost half of the kids that enter the portal go unsigned.

You have to build a team year to year. Developing and building a team is dead.

For the longest time teams were two perhaps 3 years old with a mixture of juco players and high schoolers.

Now teams will average 2 years old, not much of a drop off except instead of seasoned juco players who have been playing, they will have to rely on the 1st half of the season to get the rust out of players with incredible potential.

Des has all the cards in his favor, he just needs to play them.

He needs to play them quick, and use all the transfers to his advantage.

Play here get better, and earn a career with a real payday.

Play here get better, and earn a career with a real payday.

This is my hope for every one of our coaches, regardless of sport. Make us better than you found us, go and get P5 money somewhere else.

SOME, of you guys need to just adjust to the changing world and be a fan of whoever wears the jersey from year to year. yes, its not like the old days, yes you dont get to become as familiar with every player and story, yes players you like will leave. Dont let it take your joy to be a fan, you have that choice still.
