Most of the guys were 3 stars not recruited by the likes Bama, UGA, Lsu, etc. Not one elite prospect. We are doing really well almost everywhere else in recruiting. This is what we are going to get until Gus hires a legit recruiter as o line coach. Cohen is a solid 4*, Buskey and Zierer are 3* Juco OT's that would easily be 4* is they were not Juco, Wright and Jernigan both have the size and nastiness to become very solid SEC players in the future. This will turn out to be a very solid O-line group with 2-3 impact players next year Buskey, Zierer and maybe Cohen and the other with 1-2 years of seasoning before playing in the SEC.

aujeff11 6,243 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Let’s just go ahead and cut to the chase, because it inevitably will soon come up. Signing 5*s: great Ending up with 3*’s: not great but still promising if Grimes can coach them up. Yes, there are a bunch of former 2* and 3* recruits in the NFL. Is this evidence the recruiting system is flawed, maybe so, but it’s mainly because the NR/ 2*/3* population is so much greater than the rest at the high school level. As such a MUCH lower percentage of said population is represented in the NFL than the 4’s and 5’s. Yes I know I’m an a-hole, but you’ll forgive me whenever I’m fighting for your interest(s) too.

Plus he’s been a major factor in seven of our commitments in the class. He’s been big on the recruiting trail in a very short time for us. I was talking about the i think he can get us bigger fish part of your statement. Not saying he wont, but was curious what makes you think he will. I'm up for some optimism, I just haven't seen or heard anything indicating he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Amusing that almost no one has mentioned QB recruiting this year. Our staff is very happy with our QB commit but Quarterback position has the lowest composite rating by far of our commitments by position. Since all our current QBs are freshmen (True or RS) it's not surprising that we haven't received a lot of attention from big time QB recruits. High profile QBs won't admit it of course but few if any want to redshirt, practice with scout team or sit on the bench for a year. They don't fear fair competition but competing against three experienced sophomore 4 or 5 star QBs would be a little more challenging than I would like.

Hayes King would’ve made this offensive class look scary good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him to put together this OL class, which is solid to above average, in about 7 months on the job is damn strong. Usually takes quite a bit longer than that. When he has more time to build relationships with the bigger fish I expect him to land some since relationships are the key in most recruitments.

I certainly hope you're right. We need some elite run blocking lineman to compete with the top tier sec teams. Especially with Gus's style of offense.

That kid is the definition of "gamer". He is so smooth running and passing. I think we could've had him too. I'm not sure why we trailed off at the end.

autan 737 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think we all knew King would become an Aggie. Perfect spot for him to land with Mond moving on I'm sure to the next level. But you're right. He was the best QB to give us a look in the "20 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardin Drake 1,820 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I hope we wind up with this kid. He's an athlete. It might take 2 years to add the weight he will need, but I think it will be worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
