Oregon loses a QB to UCLA this week and then flips a QB from Baylor. The kid had been committed to Baylor for a year.
National Signing Day: Updates as College Football's Early Signing Period Opens - Sports Illustrated
The final descent for the college football recruiting class of 2023 kicks off with the early signing period Wednesday.
I think it would also be easier to lose a 4 or 5 star if we were actually flipping some TO us. It's a very one way street when talking that level of recruits
I actually feel the opposite of next years team. I think they will be better over all. Yes it hurts to loose Duce and Carter but we picked up two good replacements that will be here for spring. Oline will change but we have good pieces and some players coming in. Coordinator changed but ended up being a wash or upgrade. With GS, the receiver, Allen I feel we will be stronger on O. D will still be good.
It’s good to build the relationship early I think.
Lots of things are good but there’s finite time and resources. We’re effectively doing the work for the bigger programs who poach the talent. We need to evolve how we operate to keep up and make the most of the current environment
If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yoursAnother, possibly hotter take (depending on your vision).
The two guys that we appear to have lost were the two guys who wear glasses all the time.
We should never recruit players who wear glasses again.
I haven't commented on losing LaNorris yet.
Will do that here.
Yes, it stinks. Coach Beck was super loyal to him and he did not reciprocate. That kind of thing happens with entitled teenagers. Especially ones that grew up in a football crazed SEC state where most of the people he knows worship the state school. This is really Clemson's fault. That loss to South Carolina legitimated that program and gave them a lot of momentum.
But here is the thing. LaNorris is a bad fit for the offense Beamer hired as his new OC. And South Carolina's roster is loaded with QBs whose skill set is a fit with the pro style offense that failed bonehead is going to try and install there.
No doubt in my mind the South Carolina offense is going to struggle with this clown in charge. No doubt in my mind he will try anyone but the dual threat QB to try and get things moving.
No doubt in my mind that LaNorris is going to realize he made a huge mistake and will transfer out after the first semester of fall 2023 and look for a program that runs a scheme that suits his skill set.
He belongs at Syracuse. And that is the place he will end up at. I expect we will still get him. Yes, he will lose a year of training in the Syracuse system and that will hurt him but he will still come in with the starting job at QB wide open in 2024 (after Garrett graduates) and will still have the spring and summer to learn the system and get ready to do damage.
I didn’t explain that well sorry. I think it’s good to build the relationship early because even if they don’t sign out of high school might get them from the portal in a few years.
They really have a shoe called “Orange Thunder?”
Neither of the guys that didn’t follow through on their commitment impact next years team one bit.
They’ll all wear it…except on kickoffs when they’ll get too-big 98 to throw over it
