With Gerry and CJ talking about KJ Lacey having to be recruited twice because of Quinn returning, would it be a real loss if he went elsewhere considering Trey Owens is on the roster. You can't ignore what he did this past season.

In todays CFB you need to recruit a top QB  every year, because I believe blue chip QBs portal at a 50-60% rate. 

Given that quality IDL are hard to find in the portal, the D’antre Robinson loss hurt. How concerned should we be about Melvin Hills making it to campus. I think we need him from a sheer numbers position.

Yes. Any QB in the pipeline is a loss IMO.

Until you get enough on campus, as with Arch vis-a-vis Maalik post-regular season, then every QB matters.

I think it’s a fair question. I suspect Kenny Baker will be making the trip to Lafayette soon enough.

Not sure if this makes sense, but the overall vibe seems to be better and more welcoming here at OTF. Really glad Gerry is back. CJ , Rod and Bobby are top notch. No attitudes, just great coverage. 

Oh it does for sure make sense. That other site had a group of posters who thought they ran the place. This place does have a different vibe, let’s hope it stays friendly and considerate.

That’s up to all of us!

This place will be what we all make it. 

One of these days I would like to impart what following recruiting was like 4 to 5 decades ago. The evenings scanning radio channels hoping to hear a staticky Max Emfinger etal, Dallas Morning News clipping of top 100 and Texas Football Magazine in hand. Those were NOT the days. Yeah I been around.
