There's a note in VQ today that we are back in it with this guy: https://247sports.com/Player/Maason-Smith-46057128/
If Pruitt is able to pull that caliber of player out of Louisiana, I'll buy seccg tickets every August
I think we are going to be pulling serious levels of defensive talent for the near future. I don't think this is a fluke.
I mean he's already taken the #1 player out of AL and FLA, with a shot at the #1 player in GA. Several other top notch guys over the last couple of weeks, nothing surprises me now. Its unbelievable the value of what landing a couple of good prospects will do for momentum. Peer recruiting helping also. All of this and I firmly believe that in most cases, great players want to play with other great players. There's a solid base going forward now.
There is and I think if last year's season doesn't flop out of the gate so bad, we probably land at least some of those big targets we went after early. As it stands, if we have a similar meltdown I'm not sure we hang onto a lot of these guys. Got to win all the easy ones and not lose to Florida by 4 TDs again.
Smart is evidently pulling some Butch type misleading shit and kids who have left the program are letting recruits know.
I have faith in their recruiting abilities, but those Louisiana guys don't leave the state, so if they can pull them, man it's going to be fun
They seem like the kind of program that has to maintain momentum. He's such a douche that I think one down season would cause a complete collapse. If they have a 7-5-ish year, watch out.
Absolutely agree on all points. We were in early on several good to great prospects then 0-2 and the UF blowout happened. It definitely can't happen again and us expect to hold on to them.
Man, what a win in Norman or at home to UF would do early in the season to keep the momentum train going. I really feel like we have a good to decent shot to beat UGA this year, especially if we can figure things out early, getting them later in the year will be interesting as well.
