You are the Head Coach

Is the athlete Darren McFadden?

They are cherry picked not to prove that lower ranked recruits are always better (they aren't) but to prove a few interesting points, yeah.

2* DT from Houston may be Brent "Big Play" Curvey.
2* JUCO LB may be Tim Dobbins.

my thoughts...

Haha, well, I'm not very subtle apparently. If enough people like it though I'll do a full "season" of recruiting and maybe even actually give you some video to check out. :)

Point taken.

Recruiting is always, always going to be a crap shoot. It comes down to the coaching and what they can do with what they've got, and that's what's got me optimistic.

If I am the head coach, I just have one question.

When is payday?

wartknight · 02-13-2008, 11:15 PM

When are you going to rank my class?

I'll tell you who they were tomorrow... if anyone leaves their picks I'll rank your recruiting class on signing day and tell you how the players panned out.

is it sad if i can name most of these players?

Wesley · 02-14-2008, 12:50 AM

I think we would take them all by offering all a schollie and then taking whomever signs first.

StormnClone58 · 02-14-2008, 12:54 AM

wesley - i think there's one player i would not want on my team it would be that 4 star qb .... complete mess ... complete garbage ...

Wesley · 02-14-2008, 01:00 AM

The last guy sounds like a Bo Jackson. 4.29 is world class. I will take him. One of the linebackers from Ohio could be AJ Hawk. A 286 pound tackle that runs 4.78 40. Sign me up.

StormnClone58 · 02-14-2008, 01:05 AM

the last athlete i'm having trouble with as well and ur right about a.j. hawk ... the other two i haven't heard much from esp. the one that signed with iowa ....
