I wouldn't say BIG TIME but I do agree with people going crazy. Let the coach bring in players that fit to his scheme first. If he still cant pull it off then you can go crazy. This is Wilson's first year. I hoped for more but I also know what he was left with and it wasn't much.
The players he's bringing in has to be our best recruiting class on paper possibly ever. Am I wrong in saying that?
We have a position coach "filling in" who would you recommend firing? I don't think anyone needs to be fired.
I was obviously not serious. Those comments are towards people who want our staff gone.
I don't disagree. Im not with those asking for his firing. I think the recruits are much better that what we have had in the past. I also think he was left with not much to work with. BIG TIME recruit to me means he is a 4star or has offers from ton of great schools. His best offer is probably Pitt maybe Indiana. Then its FAU, Florida A&M and Abilene Christian.
He wasn't offered from OU - 247 and Rivals show no offer - Rivals shows an offer on the timeline but that was just a second visit. Below where the offers are listed it states OU - None.
Very nice offer list! That is another very high level recruit for Tulsa! As frustrated as I am with this season, I am very impressed with the number of quality recruits Wilson is getting to commit!
Exactly. Everyone should be freaking jacked we are upgrading at a much needed position
Texas football.com and pull his offers. Great catch. Needs to fill out but expecting good things from him. We are a development program and he has a chance to be a good one.
We are on track to have the 2nd highest rated class in the AAC behind UAB I believe. If it's not UAB, it's Tulane. I think at the end of the day this class is, at least on paper, going to surpass Graham's best class in terms of ***. And as we all know, *** mean diddly squat if you can't get the player developed and producing on the field. I think this staff can get them developed. What we're seeing right now with the abysmal results is more a reflection on the players left from Monty's regime and the bad habits they picked up. And remember, we are still running QBs out there with relatively little game experience and it shows. For all of the hype Monty came in with about being the QB guy all because he had RG3 at Baylor, he did nothing with our QBs at Tulsa. I can't say a single one of them left here better than they were when they arrived. Dane Evans had a huge year in 2016 but I think that was more a product of him having a ton of talent surrounded by a TON of TALENT, and being in a system that fit his strengths. Imagine if Monty had let him loose his junior year and not just the senior year? Think of all the QBs Monty destroyed. President, Boomer, Skipper, Brin, Smith, and now likely we can add Braxton to that list.
I agree but so will every other FBS school. That and DL. Why? Because it is usually a 2-3 year development project before OL (and DL for that matter) are truly ready to play FBS football after HS. Sure you find those rare gems who can come in and play immediately but it's usually at least 2 years before they're ready.
Exactly. People for some reason are ignoring just how bad our roster was left to this new staff.
People are also remembering that coaches like Kragthorpe and even Montgomery inherited messes just as bad and were successful their first year. Even Keith Burns won 5 games his first season with fans chanting "we are back" in the stands and we all know how that eventually turned out. We just expected a little more this year.
Let's look at the QBs on those teams.....
I think we had our top 4 defensive backs out that game, which isn't being talked about enough.
I'm sure I did say that...blind optimism...before I really knew what we had.
I think that everyone here expected more than what we've got so far. I'll still be out there next Saturday pulling for the home team.
I don't think people expected our starting QB to regress so badly...but there's where my opinion changed. I thought we had more skill weapons returning...and we did not.
Yes, this sure doesn't look like the same guy that won the last 2 games for us last year and threw the ball like a bullet. But I'm also concerned that the coach keeps running him out there expecting different results.
