Each week I try to put together something we can review at the end of the week: This week its a confidence game. We get 100 total confidence points For my example QB: 10 confidence points- This is an average rating because we're going to rate 10 factors RB: 20 Confidence points: Above average i'm high on the running backs, i've used 30 of my 100 though, OL: 10 Confidence Points: Average: I like Hiestand DL: 20 Confidence points: depth and NFL talent LB: 10 Confidence points: not as athletic as I'd like yet TE: 10 Confidence points: LOVE Mayer, not sure other wise WR: 5 Confidence Points: too many questions, intriguing talent CB: 5 Confidence Points- same as WR S: 10 Confidence Points- like the transfer Kicking: 0 Confidence- nobody returning complete unknown, missed kicks in spring game.

I filed this in 2023 recruits. I think he was committed to Lance Taylor. Wonder if Louisville is recruiting him? Was that Taylors new school? I think so.

click recruiting board you can bypass the subforums completely if you wish. https://www.domerdomain.com/forum/6-recruiting-board/?forumId6=6

thats all i do. the subforums are an organizational tool. But, the recruiting board link will always be there as Mike has boxed in red, click that,

Think Kurt Hinish Guys! You always need these guys on a football team and Freeman's getting alot of them wholove to play.

so is that the order you would put them in? trenches QB Turnover Margin/Penalties overall toughness, fight That'd be a fun poll question.

Are you a defense wins Championships believer? How about a franchise QB means everything? Or wait.. Players consistency and culture? Do we build it like the pros? Confusing. Lots of questions no wrong answers. My opinion has changed Before Kelly: I was big on plays, coaching and such. After Kelly: I realized you can have a library of plays but without the top players those plays only take you so far. Its all confusing to me: So where do you stand? Has your opinion changed or stayed the same?

Yeah Joe Alt in particular. I Like Blake Fisher at RT where he can also knock people into next week.

Yup he was blocking guys 6 yards downfield in that film. I'd much rather the staff teach guys with big frames to pass Block then have guys add weight to run block. Its where BK, Jeff Quinn and Hiestands opinion differ the most. Hiestand will always have a big physical line, that will get beat around the edge once in a while. Quinn's ideal line didn't get beat around the edge much but could get bull rushed and pushed back in the run game. I prefer Hiestands line of thinking we'll see.

Described as a "Picture perfect" right tackle by Tim Hyde. Always like when I hear the words knee bender, means he can run block.

I wanted to see this last year as in my opinion Patterson will play Guard in the NFL. That was NOT BK's opinion. I base my opinion on that I compare Patterson to Zach Martin. BK Compared him to Nick Martin. We'll see what Harry Hiestand thinks

Yup. I hope they are smart and run the QB at the edges(zone read) instead of like a fullback in power read. I'd much rather the QB have the opton to go out of bounds or take on a corner then being Tim Tebow like against bbig linebackers and defensive lineman. Let Estime(same size as LBs) deal with the LB's. If I were Rees I'd make it a play-action type passing game and mix some RPOs so he doesn't hold the ball very long, the quicker he releases it the less likely for big hits.

I believe with Buchner's running ability, these backs and the running back coach and the O-line Coach it be a shame not to run the ball alot.

Working on that 3-3-5 with all these 3 techs. I like it, options are a good thing.

I respect that too. Most of it comes available during coaches clinic season which is in the offseason. So I'll just compile it now and add to it once in awhile.

Great Running Back Debate: Speed back vs Power Back vs Slasher Back You get 1 football 40 carries who is getting most of them? I'm going Estime when I vote because I want people to get tired of tackling him by the 4th quarter. There are no wrong answers. Let the Debate Begin...

that was closer then I thought. Angeli really closed the gap and changed some perceptions with his Spring Game. Somewhere Tommy Rees is smiling. Believe me, Rees doesn't want a perceived gap he wants Pyne to believe he is being chased.

I would say the number of 1st round draft picks is probably the problem. I agree with both @tneun89and @jbrown_9999. It seems to me like we have a history from the Kelly Era of having about 1 or 2 superstars per team . Imagine if one Irish team has 3-4 1st round picks. Hope that is more of the goal with Freeman.

Little more Lincoln Riley. This one is not as unique because its similiar to the strong side flood Michael Mayer scored on vs FSU

I found a cool twitter where the young person tweets out a play or so from a playbook, Seems like the first one's Clemson's and the next one is Oklahoma/ USC's

Alot of teams will fill their roster with players with 1 attribute, (For example, height, weight, strength speed..) and recruiting is done quick. No fighting in February. That was the Kelly Approach later on. Early he fought for Tuitt, Lynch and a few others Freeman being 36 has a lot longer "fight window" He'll fight for the high 4's or 5's then still have enough energy to get a 3 or a transfer when he has too. 36 vs 60 makes a big difference. I will say Saban who is older then Kelly will still out recruit Kelly.

jbrown meant 12th guys
