Re: Football Recruiting -- 2019

We got Canteen from ND last year. So I'm sure they'll reach out but he's going to get big offers.
Coach Atkins always said an OL should never see the field until redshirt sophomore year. At 6-6, 260 lb, this kid probably could use some bulking. That is so ridiculous, but is reality with college football today.wave97 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 3:16 pm Jeff Woods OL, Fayetteville, NC

I wonder if Coach Atkins (with that philosophy) is a reason he's now reconsidering Tulane. There's plenty of stories of O-Linemen starting as true Freshman and being a four year starter.anEngineer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 5:22 pmCoach Atkins always said an OL should never see the field until redshirt sophomore year.

it always seemed to me that people took a personal liking to him and started declaring him a great O-Line coach before he ever coached a game here. Some fell in line with that to go along with group think. The line has played poorly for the most part. No getting around that. As for the Bowl play calling we pretty much just ran it against a really bad defense. I hope he does well and has a great career but there wasn't a lot here to proclaim him a great coach.DfromCT wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 7:01 pmI wonder if Coach Atkins (with that philosophy) is a reason he's now reconsidering Tulane.

There's been a whole lot of good things said about Coach Atkins since he called plays in the Cure Bowl and left for Charlotte. Meanwhile, the vast majority of posts regarding our O-Line since this regime took over were that our O-Line was one of the worst in FBS.
Does anyone else see the dichotomy between how we've viewed our O-Line and how much praise the departed coach has been given?

I'm surprised Tulane wasn't on the list! C'mon man, we have Tulane academics, the city of New Orleans and a schedule that puts him on TV every week. Plus, he'd step in as the starter without question, and maybe McMillan would get another RS year!golfnut69 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 1:55 pmhttp://www.espn.com/college-football/st ... qb-wind-upGreenLantern wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 4:58 pm Want to fantasize about a former SEC offensive player of the year?

We have to make the calls. We probably won't land them, but there's great QB's transferring from OU, ND, and Alabama, just to start the list.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 1:34 pm OU's back up QB Austin Kendall has just entered the NCAA transfer portal. He was to be the new OU starting QB, with Kylar Murray going into the NFL draft. This strongly suggests that Jalen Hurts will be heading to OU, and Kendall is squeezed out between Hurts (1 year eligibility), and Spencer Rattler, the nation's #1 QB recruit that OU signed three weeks ago. Kendall will be a grad transfer, with 2 years eligibility remaining. Will Fritz make a pitch?
We will see how competent he is with an OC capable of adjusting a scheme immediately.DfromCT wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 4:13 am Jalen Hurts would make McM look like JV. Seriously, did you think he was all that great? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, especially since he only came into the program in late August. But IF we had a chance (and we dont) to land the former SEC Player of the Year, he'd immediately be first string, and give us a chance to win the AAC. It's that big of an upgrade. Exactly the same thing can be said for the ND QB that's transferring out.
McMillan was and is a competent D1 QB. But that's all he's shown. He's not going to compete, especially in this conference, for offensive player of the year.

His interests are listed as ECU, UConn and Tulane. That's it. No smaller schools, no FCS, nothing.

UConn baseball makes for a much better (although colder) spring than those in uptown New Orleans the last few years.
Jalen Hurts announces he's headed to OU--completing the story behind Austin Kendall's transfer. I hope Fritz does contact Kendall--he's a good QB who pushed Kylar Murray for the starting position last August.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 1:34 pm OU's back up QB Austin Kendall has just entered the NCAA transfer portal.

The story will be complete when Kendall declares where he's going. He can play immediately if he's graduated. And we sure as heck should be contacting him, Tulane offers a lot that would be of interest, particularly if he cares about life after football and wants his graduate degree to be meaningful.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 12:34 pmJalen Hurts announces he's headed to OU--completing the story of Austin Kendall's transfer.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 1:34 pm OU's back up QB Austin Kendall has just entered the NCAA transfer portal.
