To all my buds here, I have a special treat for you.

I just watched a short video - maybe 12 minutes about Manti’s recruiting decision

fascinating. I don’t want to spoil it for you. Watch and please discuss. It’s all very good but when You get to the last 4 minutes you will have the biggest s— faced grin on your face

I didn’t know USC was so negative in their recruiting at that time. ND called day before signing day and wished him well with his decision. USC was not as gracious by any stretch

I always have a special respect for USC. A great rival Unlike UM or others who I despise.
I am sorry I don’t have a link. But Google
“Manti Teo college recruitment HNL episode 62. “.

enjoy.

Petey the Poodle? One of the biggest cheats
 
Sort of what I heard at the time except I heard he told Pete he was coming, then prayed and changed his mind. With my beliefs I would never fault a kid who changed after prayers.

Anyway, didn't hear any amazing negative recruiting in the video. Could have happened, but it wasn't Pete's style, at all.
 
But Seattle sucks now and will be bad for awhile.
So does New England.

And frankly, IMO Bill Belichik is the best Head Coach any sport any level I have ever watched.

Nick Saban was not even .500 in the NFL, and needed to return to a level where he annually has the best players.

The NFL is all about parity. 9-8 or 8-9 is the goal for Roger Goodell.

Ski,

just listened and thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for sharing. One of ND’s greatest recruiting wins, and the Back story nothing like I expected.

Wonder what Carroll said to mama? I can't believe he didn't ask her, lol. I'd have been dying to know.

That was cool to see. He looks happy and healthy, good for him.
 
USC may be headed for a cataclysmic meltdown! The CLR staff is not a great recruiting staff. The biggest problem faced is Ca. has become a dangerous sewer with a horrific commie governor

!? HE was good at recruiting QBs to Oklahoma.

No his style was to buy houses for his kids parents.
 
By who?

His highest class ranking is 6th.

And he has only had 1 class with a player avg above 92 at Oklahoma.

The evidence doesn't back that statement up
 
beach, you are responding to someone who will say anything just to disagree.
If someone else said what I said and you actually looked at the facts, you'd agree with me.

But you have issues with me so you'll say anything to disagree with me.

Think for yourself and dont worry that it came from me. Come to a conclusion based on the facts

Fight On.
 
Oklahoma and USC recruiting under LR

2018 - 9th 90.95 player avg

2019 - 6th 91.25 player avg

2020 - 13th 90.39 player avg

2021 - 10th 93.18 player avg

2022 - 70th 92.31 player avg only partial him but I expected more from this class

2023 - 14th 91.98 player avg

Certainly a good recruiter. Maybe very good. But not elite

His classes are kinda similar to BK
 
I know. The site is for entertainment. He is very entertaining.
And you think the SC OL was good last year and going to be really good this year.

That is very entertaining to me

How is that OL recruiting going under LR so far ?

Keep those SC shades on. You'll believe anything Lincoln tells you

Actually, if you read my posts, I though USC was terrible last year, and I think we will be 8-4this year. Next year I think we will be really good.

Terrible as a team, yes

We argued about their OL this spring a lot. You tried saying they were good last year and you weren't worried about OL.

I said OL was bad last year. Won't be much better this year.

And recruiting the position is a big problem

Thats what was actually said about the OL from both of us
 
He is generally considered one of the best recruiters in college football.
this could be a tight squeeze for SC this week end! 5 5* recruits / or / commits might be lost! Without them it looks like a CH class! You need more than WR’s

Don't think so. I wrote the o-line is fine this year, which I believe
 
Again, I have zero interest to sit on a USC Football Forum and tell their fans how great of a recruiter Marcus Freeman is.
 
You dont think recruiting at OL is a problem?

What are you on ?
I don't think I said the o-line was good last year, I said they improved at year end and cited others who said they were good.

As to o-line, we have three guys the coaches like (Amos was recruited for o-line) and last I heard LOI day was in December. With NIL anyone you seriously judges recruiting at this stage is a bit foolish. You may recall Riley did pretty well in the transfer portal last year. We will be fine at O-line.

D-line may be a problem.

He didnt do well at OL in the portal. And with recruiting at the position being so poor and the portal, how do you fix that problem?

You never show any facts. All you give is misguided opinions. If someone disagrees with you then outcomes the insults. You need to grow up.

I put his recruiting ranking and his player avg for every year he was a head coach.

How is that not facts.

Again, just because you dislike me doesnt mean my facts were wrong

I am not sure why you think o line recruiting is so poor. Riley took the job shortly before early LOI day. He currently has three linemen he likes and several months until LOI day. The majority of our o-line is returning. Vorhees is on Outland Trophy watch list and Athlon preseason All-American teams as well as Phil Steele’s preseason All American list. Neilson is also excellent. We have 14 linemen on the team so it would be good to have one or two more, but the scary situation you suggest just doesn't exist.
