Only sub 6’ players he’s recruited are Terry, Loyer, Tum Tum, Trice and Lucious. And like I’ve been saying, I think it’s hard when you’re that small and that thin to run the show on a good team. None of the others were ready to be the guy right off the bat. Now, after a year or two in college in a good program, he’d be in a better spot to do it. I just don’t think he’s the recruit you want to step in and run the show from day one based on his physical limitations. Not a knock on him as a prospect or his talent, neither of which I’ve been critical of.
You’re suggesting that Terry has such physical limitations that would prohibit him from leading a contending team from day one. I completely disagree, it has happened in the past and I believe that he is more than talented enough to do it for MSU especially considering the roster that they have coming to the program. He was recruited to do so.
Former Nebraska commit DeAndre Davis just committed to Louisville and Jalen retweeted that tweet. Didn’t think those two have had much interactions in the past so that is a bit of a eyebrow raiser to me. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Jalen go to Louisville.
I think we and SMU football are the only programs to ever really suffer after a scandal lol. Though Brian Ellerbe did more damage than sanctions ever did.
Either way, usually programs are only negatively affected while there’s uncertainty. Pitino got fired, then they had an interim coach. Recruiting was bad for a year. Then they hired a pretty good coach in Chris Mack.
I expect Kansas to suffer this recruiting season due to uncertainty. Once things are more settled, whether it’s with Self or without, things will go back to normal for them assuming they don’t do anything stupid.
Just look at Arizona too. Decommits while the news is coming out. Then they sign two top 15 prospects in the 2019 class
Not because of sanctions. Their worst recruiting class after Carroll was this past year. They’ve been in the top 10 for recruiting almost every year the last decade. Their problem is their athletic department was a mess and they were hiring mediocre coaches
Two nepotism / cronyism hires in Kiffin / Helton and then a guy with a 34-29 record coming in (with no season better than 8 wins) in Sarkisian. USC just loves shooting themselves in the foot. Crazy that they should kept Orgeron when he was a head coach. Weirdly, he’s smart enough to know he doesn’t know and should just stick to eating tons of Jambalaya in kids living rooms and let proven assistants take over.
Saw a crystal ball come in for Terry to Louisville. Now THAT makes some sense. I thought it was laughable that anyone ever put in a prediction for Terry to UM, based on next to nothing.
