I just don't get it. Hugh goes toe to toe against the big boys for high school recruits. Why not the portal.... It's still early maybe he can land some big time transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If HG cant see the field after watching Thorne and Ashford that says a lot about his future. No way Id go into next season with Thorne as my presumed starter. Id be happy to keep Brown, bring Walker in and hit the portal again. Other than Fair maybe, Id say the same about WR. I hoped for average play from the QB and WR groups(maybe) and theyre not even close. I think Geriner could be good, but isn’t the right fit for this offense. He was very much recruited to play in Harsin’s multiple/ pro style scheme. These quick reads and QB runs aren’t really his forte, and I think that’s holding him back. If so, everyone wins by him going to another program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy guys played at the SEC level so not tripping over them. Just hope these guys don’t get signed and then are never heard from again That's fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just having a civil difference of opnion. IDC who is right. We will know one way or the other next year. PT will either ball out & Hugh will be right, or he wob't & you'll be right, or we get another QB who does well as QB1 & you're right again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you would have complained if we took Cam Ward from Incarnate Word a couple of years ago too…because it was just little lowly Incarnate Word he was playing at so he can’t be talented right? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is fairly simple. We go after the Rolls-Royce of high school players. Coleman, Thompson. Bolden etc. There is plenty of players in the portal who have proven they can play high level P5 ball. Let's go after them. Instead of unproven guys like the one from Bucknell or Shorter College. Sure u can maybe find a diamond in the rough. But if u have seen them play against P5 competition week in and out the chances of striking out are greatly reduced Edited December 5, 2023 by NWALA Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year Freeze had to take whoever he could get because of the circumstances. I just look forward to the day that we have stacked high school classes and can cherry pick the portal. Like Bama, GA, OH St etc. I think we will get there in a couple yrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
