Kids can love Kiffin all they want...that program is still going to suck for the next 3-4 years at a minimum. The results, or lack thereof, speak for themselves. He's been middle of the road or worse anywhere he has been a head coach.
It's also a fact that trouble has followed him whereever he has coached. Again, the record speaks for itself.
Under what plausible theory can an argument be made that Kiffin is somehow going to improve on this year's performance when his number of scholarship athletes is being reduced, he loses his starting QB, and has to deal with significant coaching turnover?
Sure, I think the guy is a liar, a cheater, an idiot, a loud mouth, and a seriously poor sport, but I wouldn't say I hate him personally. Just total lack of respect really.
Now, on the other hand, all the Kiffin love in the world isn't going to make him a better head coach, nor make him change his well documentable morally/ethically challenged coaching style.
My point is that I hope at least some of these kids wake up and realize what an incapable douch he really is before they sign up for his sinking ship.

Elrongator...
I feel the same way you do...
And there is a reason that I am picking Kiffy out the barrell... a barrell of other coaches out there in the college world that are under-handed... cheating... and yes, sociopatic.
There is a specific list of qualities that set the Kiffer apart from all the rest.
For example, Petrino has a history of questionable behavior with the wemin and... of jumping ship when the waves get too high. Where is Petrino now? Watch him over the next couple of years and see how he pans out.
Kiffy is different. I woiuld give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he is faithful to Reaves' daughter.
But the guy is just bratty. All of his mannerisms just oooze brattiness.
Saban is arrogant... but Kiffy is arrogant in a totally different way.
(See his antics when he called out Meyer to the Vols Boosters and Knoxville media.)
Saban would never do that... he is too smart.
Kiffy THINKS that he is smart and thinks that he can get away with whatever he wants to. And to his credit, over the years... he has done just that with the Raiders...with the Tennessee Volunteers and now with, USC.
But, as we all know...Kiffy is like a man who is treading water. He never make moral progress toward one bank of the river or... the other.
Over time... all those who tread water... drown.
And that is what we are seeing with the Kiffer over in LaLa Land.
But anyone who just watches one of Kiffy's pressers and especially an unplanned interview... has to just throw up. You catch him off guard with a question... and he's like a bad diaper on the studio set of Romper Room.
I don't care for Saban and his history of lies to the LSU faithful, the Dolphins, etc... but watch how he handles an interview. Much more class and style.
Kiffer... I feel that I am watching a middle schooler being interviewed.

It's looking more and more like Ramsey won't sign with USC. He would take an already-top 5 class to a whole new level. Neal, Washington, Harris, Hargreaves AND Ramsey? That would easily be the best DB haul we've ever had.

Eddie Vanderdoes has confirmed his OV to bama for this coming weekend. He is down to ND and bama after decommitting SC.
There is some bama talk that they lead for Jarren Reed after his visit, but Vanderdoes is higher on the board. If Vanderdoes chooses bama, they say the tide won't have room for Reed.
I find it interesting to see the report that we lead for Jaynard Bostwick before his visit. It could mean we are out of it with Reed. Still, if Muschamp visits Reed, that says we still have a chance.

The only player I could see jumping ship is Riles (I think he sticks). People dont give CWM credit for keeping the kids he has got committed. Playing defense is very important in recruiting and is a big part of "closing". I dont know who we will add on NSD. It is hard to do when the kids themselves don't even know. The odds just say that we will pic up some more players. I can see us getting anywhere from 3-6 more players. Remember we have to save a spot for Swanson.

I think it's reasonable to do that. If a kid gives a staff his "word" that he'll play for them, they should have the right to say you're going to honor that-or we're going to show you what hardball is.
Of course, that hasn't stopped them from going after prospects committed elsewhere, but that's for a different day. :happy:

Reading between the lines, I got the feeling that Muschamp threatened to pull on Riles if he visited Michigan State a few weeks back. Seemed like he was all set to go, then suddenly cancelled the visit & came out with a few quotes saying he was all Gator and 100% committed.

This is correct. Muschamp has no issue with uncommitted players taking their trips. However, once you commit, he expects that to be it. He has the Mack Brown mentality when it comes to that.

It is going to be great watching the Gators beat them in the SEC championship this year. Bama's class had some big wholes going into the last few months of recruiting but they did a great job finding some late bloomers at CB and decommits at CB and DL to fill out the class nicely.

Yep, agree. Doesn't seem like we're quite there. Comparing our DL class to Bama/LSU so far we don't appear as strong in terms of numbers and overall talent.
IMO our DL class last season had 4 DL with a couple hopefuls added to it. LSU's DL class is stellar already although their class last season was weak. Bama has a little work to do but appears ready to close really strong. I hope we have a DL suprise.

Wish it were Bostwick AND Reed or Bower. I actually like our DL board going to NSD- should get at least one.
We are at 25, how high can we go? If I'm understanding our board correctly, for the most part we have the possibility of:
DL- Bostwick, Bower, Reed
CB- Ramsey
WR- Clarke
OL- ?
RB- ?
Anyone know what's going on with Josh Outlaw?
Alex Collins?
Can we go to 29? I would trade Alex Collins for either of Bostwick/Bower/Reed. I've maintained AC is good enough to keep our DTs off the field anyway, minimizing the necessity of having so many in rotation. But I realize we still need at least one to finish well.

I agree he is years behind but I am fine with that. We dont need him to come in and play right away. If he helps as a RSJR & RSSR year thats great. The talent is there and its an extra body. I dont like bringing in kids that just dont have the talent to play at a top level BCS school.

The ultimate job of a recruiter is to identify talent, then get them to commit. Young had Daniel in the bag for us. Daniel just didn't come through with his grades. If Young stays with us, he will end up making a big difference. I just hope we can keep him from going back to the NFL or to ND.

5 McEvoy
6 Ramsey
7 A mystery recruit
It is definitely possible we fill up just not probable. I do think we will get a surpirse on NSD we have gotten one the last two years.
Wish Ramsey wasn't so far down that list. I guess he's not the most important, but he's the highest rated prospect we have a legit shot at. In terms of need I would rank this group like this;
1. Reed
2. Bostwick
3. Clark
4. Bowers
5. Ramsey
6. McEvoy
Can't rank a mystery recruit on this criteria without knowing what position he plays. They're certainly valuable for NSD drama.

The ultimate job of a recruiter is to identify talent, then get them to commit. Young had Daniel in the bag for us. Daniel just didn't come through with his grades. If Young stays with us, he will end up making a big difference. I just hope we can keep him from going back to the NFL or to ND.
It is crazy how a young man can workout for hours everyday, but is not willing to do the same in the class room. Daniel would have been special in Florida's system.

Which makes no sense to me. What do these guys think? This isn't like basketball where you can skate by.
If you don't get it done in high school, how the hell are you going to do it for at least 3 years in college?

More like a high 3 star or low 4 player that no one is talking about. In 2011 it was Graham Stewart and in 2012 it was Raph Andrades. I am a big believer in looking at history and patterns in recruiting. Like if a kid visits a school a ton of times he will go to that school. I also believe coaches have patterns and CWM has done it two years in a row. We might have more than one surprise. If it comes on the defensive side of the ball I would guess CB of DE. If it comes on the offensive side of the ball TE RB maybe OL. I have no inside info on this but my guess will be Travis Johnson and Cameron Sutton just for fun.

For OL what are the chances with Kirkland? Or is he FSU bound?

Florida is not recruiting Kirkland, it will come down to FSU Miami & Arky. Kirkland has had one crazy week. I cant wait to see the meltdown from the fan base that doesn't get him.

It begs the question, are the Vols in position to negative recruit against anyone? I mean, they truly suck. It's not a question of opinion. They have a long way to go to get back.

They are desperate getting a few WR's is not going to solve their problems. It looks like they might have got North because his father got arrested in while at UNC.

Probably not.
Pretty good chance we get Bostwick. Clark is still 50/50. Reed, I think we get if bama has no room for him (which it looks like they may not). Ramsey is FSU and I'm not quite sure if Bower flips.
