- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
I think you're in the wrong thread .. and that is the wrong bowl game. I assume you mean the Fiesta Bowl, Onterrio Smith tackle.

ULM kid, Gooden, TAMU kid.
We're not getting the top flight O line transfers.
Pretty sure most of them have already committed elsewhere anyway.
I mean that ain’t exactly gonna move the needle that much
Three probable new starters who are all better than what we had this year? Need to find a RT and continue looking to add but those three are a good start
Those guys looks like depth to me or average Big 12 starters at best
If 3/5 are average Big 12 starters, with Seaton being elite, go find a solid RT and they’ll be fine.
People think Carter Miller was brought in to be depth piece because of the school he came from. He had a lot of good schools after him in the portal. Im pretty sure hes not viewed as a depth piece.
That math forgets injuries. We need 8 guys you can count on.

Guy is rated higher than the TAMU kid by the recruiting services. His starting is more of a sure thing than Ogundiyi.
My sentiments exactly. I also don’t like our transfer heavy approach to recruiting. I’d like to see more commitment to HS recruitment.
I do accept that the recruiting landscape has changed. I’m not a recruitnik so I’m probably wrong and maybe spoiled from the previous two classes, but, while this years combined class is Top 25 I was hoping for even better.
I guess, on the bright side, is that in three short years Prime has made me spoiled.
Especially with the new JUCO ruling. Kids might decide to go the JUCO route instead of G5 or FCS since it doesn’t eat into eligibility
A couple preps they felt good about/had commitments from that ultimately went elsewhere (Michael Carroll, NOB, Alex Graham to name a few) would have vaulted the class into the top 15-20. Beyond that, there’s a major NIL/funding difference between CU and the top 10 in the countryI do accept that the recruiting landscape has changed.

I don't think anyone is sure any more. Is it worth it to add people to your roster who you don't expect to be competing for the 2-deep that year? It used to be the norm that about a quarter of your roster fit into that category with it being half the guys in certain position groups like OL.I do accept that the recruiting landscape has changed.

Does it work in this era to have a significant portion of the team being told that their job that year is to train hard, work on mastering techniques and assignments, and give a great look in practice to the guys who are playing? Can you keep those guys happy for a couple years before it's their turn when there is an opportunity to play immediately somewhere else and get paid to do it? In this environment, can you afford to sign more than about 15 preps? I don't know. Maybe it's easier to keep them from being disgruntled than it is a transfer signing who doesn't earn PT immediately.
I’m evolving. Just allow me to evolve in peace!
That’s the conundrum that I’m struggling with.

Money won’t solve our issues. Need some introspection boys. We can start with casting Hart and Flea from atop the Flatirons
