Ole miss is the Iowa State of the SEC.
So I guess we're the Vanderbilt of the Big 12?

We are not the Vandy of the Big12.  Vandy currently has 15 commits (3 - 4* and 12 - 3*)
:facepalm: I was actually guessing that when I read JHL's post.

A.J. Derby (Iowa transfer) that attended our Spring Game will start at Coffeyville this fall.

Don't know how to take this comment other than, "He's probably not interested."

Quote
“His footwork is good,” Flores said. “His picking up the offense is good. His leadership skills are very good. He’s throwing the ball real well.”

Derby tweeted that he attended the Kansas State spring game this past Saturday. He also attended Arkansas’s spring game the week before.

“He just went up there to take a look,” Flores said of the Kansas State visit.

That gives me hope that if we ever hire a coach who is charismatic and cares about recruiting, we may actually do okay.

Of course, we can't offer a Vandy education, but whatever.  Just hand the kids a printed brochure with Truman, Rhodes, Goldwater, etc.  See if that helps.

He was even pretty good at it for one offseason.

We may need to hold athletes' families hostage too.  We're going to need better facilities to hold all the hostages.

I've only been skimming this crap of a thread, but even I know by now that facilities don't matter.  Kids pick the places where their families will be taught life lessons during the time that they are held hostage.

JFC ADJC is BITB with new big, badass facilities.
So we don't hold his family hostage?
Or we hold a gun to his head, AND hold his family hostage?

ADJC needs to start planning for his family's gilded cage if he intends to piggyback the current project campaign.

Tell me about it. Trying to find good news on the recruiting trail right now seems to be a challenge. I cannot even imagine covering recruiting for a program that shares information on who they are pursuing and they actually are given the time to aggressively pursue recruits.

I can only liken it to sales and just constantly having to cold call the same person who absolutely tells you nothing, over and over and over again.

Fitz, honest question, is the the FB staff more tight lipped now about recruiting, than they were say, 10/15 years ago? To me that seems to be the case.

Well, Damian Williams is still on the board.


This kid is amazing.  Don't think we stand a chance in hell of keeping him.  He'll probably go where the money is at... SEC.  :bawl:

I couldn't put my finger on who he reminded me of, but his throwing motion, footwork, build, etc. remind me of Byron Leftwich.

I'm not saying he is Byron Leftwich, but that's who I think about when I watch his video.

If the Cats end up landing Waters as a JUCO QB, I'd be okay with that.  We need some sort of upperclassman going into Spring Ball next year even if he won't play in front of Sams or Bender.

If we landed Waters and Williams, I'd be content.  Kincaid would have made me happy, but at this point, I'll settle for content.

Here's 14 minutes of Jake Waters.

As someone that worked there for several years and also the same time as Jeff, I can say with absolute confidence that pretty much anything is better than that place.

When it comes to Bill and recruiting, don't underestimate anything.
