any else concerned about our recruits

[Old hank]

I believe Marrone, he would actually know. The rest of us just jump on every rumor for something to talk about until signing day.

Am I worried about recruits? No. But I am starting to become worried about, the longer this drags on, the ACC. We're not there yet.

Actually, if any of this kids are looking for early playing time it might be a positive. Not sure how many of the recruits actually watch our games but it's not hard to see what we're trying to do. What's painful for us as fans is watching us fail at consistently doing it.

Our defense looks fun to play in, guys just need to be in position and tackle when they are. TE's should be excited about their use in our system. Same with us trying to use RBs, especially inside runners. At WR we spread the ball around plenty and give different players a chance to step up each game.

YES. Coach says he likes the lunches because he can open up and share more because, we honor his wishes and do not share what he says!!!!

lol. ya, right. he likes the lunches because they are filled with idol worshipers who dont care that in year three he is coaching the worst team in the big east.

For someone who calls themself a saint you never have a positive thing to say.

If you ever attended a luncheon you would know that they are anything but idol worshipping. Marrone answers every question (unless it deals with naming recruits). He provides some great insight into the way he runs the program/practices each week, the things he plans on doing/changing for the upcoming game, why certain plays were called, and he explains in detail why plays did not work. It's easy to sit in the stands or at home and complain about Nassib throwing an incomplete pass but when you go to the luncheon you find out why that play did not result in a big gain or a TD (i.e. WR ran the wrong route, QB missed his #1 read, offensive lineman failed to fill the A gap, the play was changed at the line of scrimmage, etc.) Then when you watch a replay of the game after the luncheon you see exactly what Coach Marrone is talking about. I don't idolize any coach or athlete. I attend the luncheons for one reason to get some insight into the SU football program.

One of my friends attend his first luncheon a couple of weeks ago and could not believe how much differant they were than Coach P's luncheons. He was shocked by how honest Marrone was and by the fact he answered every question asked for over an hour. Coach P would come in, eat lunch, give a 15 minute speech, show some highlight videos, have a player talk, and leave.

Based upon the things I heard at the last luncheon I think we will see a huge upgrade on the offensive side of the ball next season both in terms of talent (i.e. speed and playmakers) and the offensive gameplan.

That certainly is good to hear. We need to get some positive news. It would be fantastic if we can pull out the road win on Saturday.
