Now to the Portal

How about we keep the player commit threads to discussions about that player. The thread for Jake Merklinger, of all people, turned into a discussion about all our other quaterbacks. I don't know if and when these players find The Boneyard but keep those threads to discussions about those players. Especially for Jake's sake.

Will do my part Inspector! Tough not to rise to the bait to an off topic post.

Hoping for a killer Offensive lineman still, a guy who'd be one of the top 2-4 players on the team. Think Murawski might have been it, have we gotten a Murawski or better yet?

You can't expect that. If Toledo had a Murawski level lineman for us to take, he'd now be at Mich State (or an equivalent level) also.

Is Merklinger at or below Murawskis level would you say? I think if a week ago I said I’d hoped Jake Merklinger from TN would transfer to UConn, I bet you would have said the same thing.

This is a nonstarter

Do you think if The Merk had started as many games for Tennessee as Murawski started for us that he would be signing here?

Merk had 2 years at TN and Big Ben had 4 at UConn. If Merk had started 18 games at TN, he wouldn’t be leaving. I’m saying we got a QB with Merks ratings, why couldn’t we get an OLineman with similar talent and potential?(ratings)Not a real controversial question or thought.

There’s your guy
 
Folks have to also keep in mind that the recruiting rankings are not only a "guess-timate" at best, but they also seem to change based on which team grabs you.

I'm pretty sure that I saw the QB from Tennessee go from a 4-star to a 3-star after he chose UConn. Don't get me started on that nonsense, please.

So it comes down to this: Do you believe that your head coach and coaching staff are capable of making a fairly accurate assessment of the talent? Based on Candle's history of winning and getting people to the NFL, I'd say we're in pretty good hands...

Individually, recruit rankings can be suspect, but over a sample size of say the 4-5k that are in the portal, it gives you a fair idea of where to start. The rest of the eval is coaching staff eyes on tape and possibly in person.
