They laugh now, but even the haters know it's going to be a different ballgame when he gets those big lineman.

 

The hype was a bit much though and I like Prime.

The big linemen that generally take 2+ seasons to mature? Or is he going to get ready-made O/DLinemen in the transfer portal?

Yes. He will. 
 

and Sanders has said the same thing most college coaches say in current jobs. Sanders can recruit in the portal and high school. He’s golden. 

I mean Sanders himself has recently spoken about how the current setup makes going after HS kids frankly silly.  not saying there is zero effort there but it’s different in this new era.  And it is.  Sanders is right. 

5 stars bust all the time.  Left and right.  And it take a lot of resources. Smart play in the current setup is to largely focus on letting that filter out elsewhere and recruiting actual college players. 

so you can recruit a bunch of 5 star and 4 stars at WR like Clemson and spend all your time sifting that out and trying to develop them or Sanders can use his leverage and personality to just go get a kid that is an actual stud at the college level.

Yeah, nah, really has nothing to do with Deion. Always loved how he carried himself and his bravado. Cut the color crap. It’s the media, the talking heads, the “all of a sudden football fans” that gave this a head. 
 

And yes, being born into money and bragging about it- super admirable quality…

Because Coach Sanders is unapologetically loud and black. Like Cam (whom this forum abhorrently tolerated) so it's not surprising to see the absolute glee this place is showing to see this loud, proud and successful black dude getting "humbled" I stead of applauding he's taken this perennial loser club to a 3-1 record. 

Edit- dweebs already hating on Shedur flashing his watch 🤣

 

Envy is never your ally, guys 

He's a con man - look up his history.

Transfer portal for sure. He will also recruit bigger lineman.

 

This team he currently has is very undersized. Sanders has one of the worst Olines in the PAC 12. Once they actually protect him he's going to be a problem next season.

This is a college football thread. College football talk.  Good old fashioned rooting for and against is welcome.  You want to discuss it any other way? You are more than welcome to take that convo to the TB and start a football thread to discuss.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
