It's a big step forward to be past the bigbang warm bodies depth charts, but we are missing stars. No stars, no championships.

Nah. OLB is not near what Tucker wants it to be. Neither is star as good as Taylor is. Look at those positions at UGA. Different than what you see at CU. And I’m not sure I would even call UGA elite at those positions currently. Long ways to go to be good. Then steps to really good, then elite are not even in the thinking at this time. Sorry, reality.

WTF?
That is for sure. Parker looks like a player that could develop into a star, half his high school film is of him coving slot receivers.
Sweet. Looking forward to seeing a couple of those LBs play corner.
Who is the #2 Star right now and who are they recruiting to that role?

Good questions.
Is Robinson the #2 star?
I don’t know who they are recruiting for the position.

Define elite. I'll go ahead and say we have 3 or 4 future NFL LB's on the team going into this year, but aside from Landman, I don't see anyone near elite as a player right now.
Why I asked; I have no idea. There doesn’t seem to be anybody on the current recruit radar who is a clear cut “Star” recruit.
The Athletic is stating Brett Tonz "retired because of injury."

SIAP, but I hadn't seen this anywhere until now.

So that would put them at 83 scholarships and I would assume that at least one of those goes to Shutak who currently seems to be penciled in as a starter. Really wish they were able to bring in a grad transfer CB to at least provide some depth, but doesn't seem likely.
You'd think they could come up with 1 Sr transfer at CB. Even if he's crap, you need some warm bodies.
I actually don't mind the top four and think they can be a solid group, assuming they all stay healthy, but yeah, they need a guy who can at least provide some competition and experience there.
You need more warm bodies, even if it's to run drills in practice.

That performance vs recruiting chart is an indictment of last staff. Yikes.
Kind of figured something would happen when Kinney came back. He wasn’t on scholarship, though, right?
Punter who transferred from Vanderbilt, and was supposed to replace Kinney on scholarship this year

If I had a vote, I would give Loy one of the two remaining scholarships. I am sure there are more deserving walk-ons but it appears Loy got a raw deal here.

NM, didn't see that he transferred. No schollie for you! Come back in 12 months!
Just to add to this, it was a bit of bad luck for Mr. Loy. Kinney was supposed to graduate, but he got injured before playing 4 games and had a redshirt, so he came back this year. That chewed up Loy’s spot and since he was not already on scholarship, he was free to transfer with immediate eligibility. I guess Arkansas needed a punter and off he went. Best of luck to him.
Well...
a) The intention when he came from Vanderbilt was to be on the roster, on scholarship and the 2019 starting punter.
b) It’s offseason, a recruiting dead period, and there is very little left to talk about
c) Don’t tempt me to start a thread about the long snapping situation
Big Jim
WTF?
At least we would be talking about a football player.
Given that the reason the "soccer player" isn't on the team anymore is because the guy who took his spot broke his collar bone making a tackle last year and got to redshirt, maybe back off on the fake machismo.
Punter, punter, punter, punter, punter, punter
It's still the off-season. I'm not done debating fast food burgers, rock bands, and making tree puns.
Smashburger sucks.
If that is the case, I had in-n-out last week and it was as good as ever. suck it haters.
