Sure is fun being the cool school. Reminds me of the early 2000's when I was on campus. 

Dia Bell talked about this in an OTF YouTube interview we will publish Friday or Saturday

I honestly love what they're doing with the LB room. It's in much better shape than what Coach Sark inherited when he first arrived. Lots of really good talent starting to take shape there.

Here’s a little insight via his Instgram follower’s/following. 

He’s only following Coach Sark (Coach Sark is also following him), and no other SEC coach that’s in this recruitment battle (Georgia and Bama) 🤔

 

 

Mentioned in this video, life after football is very important to him.

I think this is early 2000s on steroids. The type and caliber of player we're after from top to bottom is so much higher than back then. 

 

Would love to hear your thoughts Gerry as well as @Jeff Howe and @Bobby Burton

JMO, but I think we're getting higher caliber RECRUITS, but the team may not be as good as the last 2 Vince teams because now all our best players go to the NFL before the onset of their senior years.  So we miss that little bump from the more mature players.  

For instance, we haven't had a senior QB or RB since Sam left.  We DO have a bunch of senior DTs though, since then, so that has helped.  It would be nice to have more senior OL, though.

Love to hear what Gerry and Jeff say as well.

We set program records for NFL draft picks each of the last two years. It will take a hell of a team to be as good as Vince's 2005 team which is wildly considered a top 3-5 team all time. Also players now days are more advanced out of HS than they were in the early 2000s so they don't have to be seniors to be what seniors were then IMO. The fact we have players only playing here 3 years and going to the NFL says a lot about the quality of player they are. Just because you're a senior doesn't mean you're good.
