transfer portal

I think our biggest issue is coaching right now. Des and company have done a hell of a job getting talent. Would like to see some big uglies come in from the portal if there's a good fit. Considering who we may lose to the portal, we're not far off from turning this around.

Hey James, my jaw dropped when I read your last sentence. I mean coming from you buddy. Haha

Caesar listed now. Listed as WR.....thought he was a DB.
Albeit i only saw him on special teams.

He was signed as a safety for us, never reached his full potential here. Hope he gets a chance somewhere. Maybe he is considering a change of position somewhere else because he may have been struggling to pick up at safety/db. Kid was a special athlete when we signed him, I really thought he would excel here. Sorry that it did not work out.

Des can recruit. Is in game coaching is meh…..I look for that to improve next year, With Elijah Bill Davis running the ball this should help manage the clock.

If you want to win at a high level you must out recruit your peers up the middle of the offense and defense.

OL
QB
DL
LB
RB
FS/SS

Skill position guys are a dime a dozen. Especially in Louisiana. But, high 3* OL/DL and we dominate.

100% correct. I see an opportunity here. I think P5 schools are going to be less likely to take 3 star HS players and instead buy proven D1 players. UL's job is to keep as much of its core intact and then fill in with 3star players the P5's are passing because the alumni are demanding a quick fix.

Gonna need strong o-line play to control the clock. No coach or RB can do this.

College football is about the money now.
If a player leaves for that reason do t let the door hit ya on the ass
No good luck from me anymore.
The powers that be have begun to kill college athletics
Seems they could have set something up equitable that would not hurt other programs

Exactly. No need for backups to post lengthy social media message that contains “with that said….” Either. This ____ is just getting silly.

. . . From the outside looking in it may not seem that difficult however there is much more to it than meets the eye . . ..

. . . “And fill with 3 star players that the P5 are passing” . . . why do you think they did not make it as the 3 star they were when they were initially recruited or why do you think they are now being passed upon by the P5 the second round . . . duh, because they were never a 3 star at all and that was not determined until they stepped on the college field . . . or did not even make it there . . . Caesar come to mind . . .

We live in an era where narcissism is rewarded.

Almost, but its much simpler than misidentification.

Three star players that arrive at "Talent Graveyards" only to ride the bench for 2 years don't stay 3 stars players.

Two star players at talent growth centers that hit the field as freshmen become the equivalent of 4 star players.
