Josh Heupel was not with Scott Frost at UCF.
Dematrius Davis transferred to Alabama State.
If I were Oklahoma, I would be looking at Aranda. He already knows how to recruit in the Texas-Oklahoma region, an he has recent SEC experience, which will become very important as Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC. Aranda also has an excellent staff.
Here is the reality. Tony Franklin is not all there. He has mental/emotional issues. It is obvious. That the mental midgets at AL.com feed of a second-tier, second-rate, washed up, assistant coach to get clicks is just ... sad. Now Franklin is moving his cheese so he is not called out after the fact. A journalist worth their salt would challenge him. But AL.com does not. Why? Because, by design, they hire incompetent journalists.
It was obviously intended to be a rub route, similar to what Clemson ran against Bama in 2017, but it was very poorly executed.
Robinson was not even on the three-deep.
Harsin has been in college football coaching for 21 seasons. That is six years longer than Gus Malzahn. Harsin was the offensive coordinator for two seasons at Texas. He has eight seasons as a head coach, albeit at Group of Five schools. But guess what, Group of 5 schools have to recruit too. "But does he have a clue about recruiting?" What kind of SEC "coach" actually make a comment like this? Real SEC coaches do not talk like this. Maybe some grad assistant, who is still cocky does. Maybe some idiot like Jeremy Pruitt does, and perhaps crap-stirrer Lane Kiffin would say something like this, but no serious SEC assistant talks this way. If they do, they don't believe what they are saying, because they probably spent time at a Group of 5 school and recruited there, and levered that to get the SEC gig. And no serious SEC head coach or coordinator has the time for "anonymous" contributions to Athlon.
I agree with Chizik. I think the portal should no open until after the regular season. In truth, I would prefer it not open until after bowl season, but that may be too much to ask. I also think the way scholarships are counted for transfers needs to change. That is part of why there are 1,100 players stranded in the portal. You transfer out, and a scholarship frees up. But your old school cannot use that old scholarship for a transfer in. Transfers in are affected by recruiting class scholarship limits. There needs to be some kind of change. Players with less than 4 years of eligibility should not count against the initial counters limit. Right now, the only exceptions are graduate transfers. I would relax the initial counter rule so up to 5 additional scholarship offers could be made to non-graduate transfers with 1 to 3 years of eligibility. This would apply only to schools and conferences that in no way restrict transfers to a greater extent than the NCAA. The graduate transfer would remain as an incentive to complete one's degree. Transfers with 4 years of eligibility would still count as an initial offer. You could even limit the number of scholarships to 25 for the particular "year" the transfer belonged to. If a school had 23 class of 2020 recruits on scholarship, they could only offer 2 class of 2020 transfers.
It's actually the Summer's Eve Douche Bowl. Jimmy just thinks its named after him.
After watching the recent YouTube video from J. T. O'Sullivan analyzing Auburn's passing issues, I am convinced coaching was a bigger issue than talent. Blocking schemes were awful, and passing routes were awful, which put Nix repeatedly into bad situations. For this reason, I believe the passing game will improve in 2021.
I think the LBs will be SLB=Garrett, MLB=McKinzy, and WLB=Frost. I see Williams behind McKinzy to develop him to be next year's MLB. Holland is a better fit for WLB in Muschamp's scheme, where the SLB is more a pass covering LB than a run stopping LB. For the same reason, I have Mitchell behind Garrett at SLB. Ultimately, I think Holland's size and pass rushing ability puts him at Buck in 2016, especially if Lawson goes to the NFL.
