In the works? Some surprise recruits coming?

[delterp]

I suspect you land 2-3 Terp transfers.

Any graduating that could play right away? @delterp

 

[Husky25]

I'll very gladly take eight win Randy at $1MM per year vs untested FCS head coach or an FBS coordinator.

I'll take a creative FBS coordinator as a potential coach in waiting.

For our OC? Yes, yes indeed.

 

[MattMang23]

Maybe not Big East talent? Good. That's 1AA nowadays.

I'm aware of 8 kids moving on this year. There is a DL and TE who both graduated. The others are 2015 recruits and would need to sit. Of the 8, no ideas which may or may not be RE targets but it would make sense as he recruited them. I was a fan of 2 lb's both 84 composite scores which are solid 3 stars.

 

[Waquoit]

The first four years don't really count if we're being intellectually honest . we should tally up the last six or seven when he had full schollies and a level
Playing field. By my count he won 60 percent of the time which is damn good. Not amazing. But really damn good

Most coaches have a better record when you exclude losing seasons.

While true, most current FBS coaches weren't playing in the Yankee Conference and recruiting out of trailers for their first four seasons at their respective programs.

Using deductive reasoning, the QB being referred to is most likely Gage Shaffer, and the LBs are most likely Gus Little and Brett Zanotto. All would need to sit a year.

So while you are researching, who are the 5th year seniors that can play somewhere right away. (I'm less interested in the TE than the DL).

True Senior DLs are Azubuike Ukandu and Roman Braglio. No RS Jrs.

EDIT: they both redshirted, so don't know who he is talking about.

They are both fifth year seniors, who, if they graduate in 4 years, can go anywhere and play immediately. They are also both young men who started most games last year. I would think we would be interested in either, as we're horrifically thin on the DL.

The concept of intellectual honesty alludes you.

 

[2Infinity]

It was sarcasm....I'll refrain from that in the future

It wasn't sarcasm or tongue in cheek...nothing in your post implied that st all. So I nstead of trying to defend it, just admit it was a bad comparison. Everyone makes mistakes once in a while. Randy made a mistake in the way he left...I suspect he'll be admitting as much tomorrow.

The only spot we aren't thin at is 6 foot 6 260 pound TE/DE recruits who are as slow as a line at the DMV

 

[delterp]

Brags and Ukan are out of eligibility, sorry not trying not to share just don't think names are out there yet

B1G East

Maybe. But it doesn't elude me.

 

[IMind]

Let's hope.

Although the odds are good Meghan Fox may know as much about recruiting QBs.

I'm pretty sure she'd be much better at it. Lord knows she'd be much better at recruiting me than Randy would.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Target the Temple recruits. With their coaching change and the interim thought to be going to Baylor as well its open season for their northeast recruits.

 

[MattMang23]

B1G East
Michigan
Michigan St

A joke could be made here about four of those schools having B1G East talent, and one having Big East talent...

 

[jpm25]

Please show me the record of someone who took a FCS team to FBS and did better than what Randy did. I'll be waiting for your response. For a long, long time.

Jim Leavitt, South Florida.

Won't be easy pickings. Temple's interim head coach/recruiting coordinator/TE/ST coach Ed Foley is staying on Geoff Collins' new staff. DC Snow is gone to Baylor. They just hired a new OC in Dave Patenaude who has CT and Northeast ties.

Jim Leavitt, South Florida.

How many Big East titles did he win and how many BCS Bowl games did he take his teams to. Honest question. He may have but I don't feel like looking it up.

I decided to look it up. The answers are none and none but thanks for playing.

That's not the question that was asked and I answered, but if you are suggesting what JL did at USF is not on par with what RE did at UConn, you are delusional.

It's not on par. Leavitt had a head start in weaker conferences to build his foundation in sunny Florida.

Randy in a small northeastern state with minimal recruiting base jumped into, at the time, one of the power conferences and proceeded to win 2 titles and went to a BCS Bowl game.

It's not even debatable.

Jim Leavitt was great in September.
