It's usually best to under-promise and over-deliver but this is another way to go I guess.  I'm sure his objective fanbase will understand.

baggins has learned quickly.  the non-#1-or-#2 class he promised will be the fault of the recruits who lost their aggy offers because they looked around.

it's fucking brilliant.

    I'm not convinced Hookfin is going to pan out.  The reason I feel this way is because I've spent most of my life in the weight room and I can tell when someone is going to be a hard gainer, and he fit

    He seems to be appropriately paid. aggy D is currently top 20 in only his first year and they’ve got some good players coming in. He’s solely responsible for stealing Brian Williams from us.

And they still have him listed as 100% to FSU. I'm sure they don't update those often but that kid won't even get a look from FSU. Too small.

I feel for the kid though. Gets yanked out of a school and a city he's lived in for 11 years right before his senior year.

he's never going to work a day in his life, courtesy our tax dollars and the AUF.  fucks given, zed.

How does a kid at 5’8 even get to be a HS QB?

What was the shortest CFB QB? Flutie at 5’10?

 

Kyler Murray.  5'9".  Maybe

If dumbo is running a pro style offense, why is he offering so many dual threats quarterbacks? If I was being recruited by this midget, I would be concerned.

Because they'll be running for their life behind that offense line.

I enjoy running over Fisher and the aggies as much as they next guy, but let's be real about the pitch to dual-threat QBs. They can reference Jameis Winston and have all the credibility they need from their end, and it will resonate with some of these kinds of targets. 

Say what you will about Aggy recruiting this year, if they dont get a "good" QB this cycle, that's gonna look bad for ol Jimbo. 

I'm good with that.

He'll probably pull another James Foster out of his hat, let's be honest. Just needs to figure out his pricing strategy for the year.

They'll probably end up with someone like Zeno

Gunnell is perfect for Jimbo's offense, so that would be a big miss

Nah, Gunnell needs to play in a pure spread offense. He's about a fit for Jimbo's offense as Gilbert was for the redesigned Davis offense at Texas.

Winston, in 27 college games, had 145 rushing attempts for 284 yards. So 2 yards per rush and 10 rushing yards per game.

I assume sacks are included in the totals, but it’s not like he took many sacks and any he did take would lower his actual rushes per game even further, but help his average. 

Tough to sell him as a dual threat when you see those numbers.

You seem to be confused. It appears that you think recruiting for 16/17/18 year old kids involves rational decision-making. I'm guessing in your mind there's some concept whereby coaches involved with the recruitment of a player are bound by honor, integrity, and truth and simply present facts unemotionally and without bias. The players and their parents, and I'm guessing you think it will undoubtedly be a two parent household in surburbia, will then calmly do their research, gather for multiple discussion sessions, and then robotically make their decision. 

Decisions are made on emotion and then rationalized with whatever facts the decisionmaker can find in the aftermath. That's true when buying toothpaste. Emotions go higher and logic goes lower when the stakes on the decision are ratcheted up. 

What you just postulated is pure fantasy. They're pushing their work with Jameis Winston and the college home of Johnny Manziel to any dual-threat QB who answers the phone, and it will ultimately work with one of them.

And other schools recruiting them should be hammering the numbers I posted, especially if their qbs have better numbers. 

I don't get why Jimbo wants dual threats who are questionable passers rather than polished passers who can get through the progressions and post snap reads in Jimbo's snail paced west coast offense

If there were ever a situation in which a coach could come in and experiment without any consequences, it's ol Jimbo and aggy.

Yep. Same with showing off the national championship ring. That pitch will win over some kids, even if it's not a high percentage.

This is where I'm at. Jiimbo has had his most success with pocket passers, like Jameis. Even when he gets a dual threat QB, like EJ Manuel, he turns him into a pocket passer and doesn't utilize his legs much.  Jimbo's offense has to have a good pocket passer who can make reads/progression; the legs are just an unnecessary bonus. I'm not sure why he' so focused on dual threats now at aggy. Maybe that new Memphis OC is big on dual threats? Although it was Jimbo's offense all the time he was HC at FSU.  

Only explanation I think can of is that Jimbo eventually plans on adapting his offense to the QBs found in abundance in-state.

I guess but unless he's gonna role out some pretty drastic changes to his offense that has remained largely the same for over a decade now, doesn't seem to be a very good idea, and he's sure not gonna role that out with ass my dude as the starter.

When Jimbo was first hired, while I was concerned about A&M making recruiting more difficult for us in-state, I wasn't worried about them winning big in the least, mostly because I think Jimbo's offense is an absurdly dumb one to run in college, among other reasons. Then word started leaking out that they wanted to adopt a lot of Memphis' offensive principles, notably more read options, POP plays, and spread concepts in general. Then the spring practices and game came around and it was the same old same old, and I'm back to not being too concerned about them winning big. 

I can't believe Jimbo is potentially going to fuck up this Gunnell recruitment, it was an alley-oop. Of course, he couldn't finish an alley-oop with a ladder.

Yeah. Gunnell liked FSU and was huge on aggy. SHould be no way to lose him and now it looks like Jimbo is basically passing on him when he's a perfect fit for Jimbo's offense? Just insane.  A little strange that the top two schools in-state have not been all that interested in the top ranked QB in-state who is a top-100 guy. 

Also, regarding the whole Jimbo changing his offense. That is never going to happen. He's a control freak and set in his ways.  Every OC that goes there will be strictly a position coach that even gets micro-managed at that aspect of his job.

This is what I have never understood about the appeal of aggy to your typical teenage football player. Their tweets and photos suggest a real adherence to the superficiality of 'cool', especially urban, hip-hop cool. Where does maintaining cool and being rational about being a winner in football lead any blue chipper to aggy? They have never been exceptional as a football program and everything about their school screams uncool.

Many moons ago when aggy was still a high-quality institution of higher learning, especially in engineering, I never once thought about going there. My family came from outside of Texas and I had no longstanding ties with any particular in-state school to bias me against aggy. I wasn't cool in any way shape or form (still ain't) and was very conscious about my future based on the school I was going to choose. But I would have even picked Tech over aggy just to avoid being aggy for the rest of my life, not to mention their fake army and milkman cheerleaders.  

Most recruits don't give a shit about the things message boards fans care about. In fact message boards pretty much overthink everything like most jilted lovers

Quote

"I want to go to a good school"

What fans hear: He's reading the college rankings and we should tell him my school is 20 places higher! 

What recruits probably mean: I will attend class

Quote

"I want to major in enginerring" 

What fans hear: OMG we have the best engineering program ever. How could he not choose us?

What recruits probably mean: (recruit has no idea that it's impossible to get an engineering degree while playing DI football"

Arizona is probably the second best option behind Arky, so I’ll take it, but man would it have been fun to watch Arky Chad and Gunnell create aggy tears for years.

And the answer should be Jameis ran for 2 yards a carry and 10 yards a game and the guys that coached Johnny are all gone to Arizona.
