Need the BourbonStreetGPT link, but I think I get it:
I see it as (now) very Safety (Fs1), 'avaliable'.
I do not see a multi-task Swiss Army (c.Grim, jack of all trades, covering/masking) pocket knife.
I do not see trustworthy ILb (pseudo-twins) play on tape. (suspect fills... rob us of otherwise clean plays).And I do NOT see as much 'fast-twitch' or burst-type guys that Bud courted.
(We actually have a couple/few... tho' they make the MOST misQ's... dangnation... that systemic hurts).
We don't have the personnel on the roster to run the defense...
Or, to put it another way... how many High Schools play this set in '24???
i.e., where do Eye go to look for good-scheme-fits for this set here?
And it's going to be tough to find those guys going forward, because (unlike the triple option/wishbone/flexbone) very few high schools run a similar defense.
Right?

87-90 should become starter/key contributors by Sophomore season outside of maybe OL. The current depth at position also plays a big role but that can change year to year now with portal.
85-86 should contribute either special teams or limited role by Sophomore season.
Below 85 are projects, most would be PWO but not sure how the new roster rules impact that.

This is the explanation I was looking for.
I still don't get it, need to rewatch some film reviews and stuff to actually understand, but now I see that there is an actually reason why the option/mobile QB is especially hard for a Foster/Pry/Gap-fit defense to handle.
Is there a good translator for what the numbers represent? Like, what's expected from an 83 vs an 85, 87, or 90? At what value is a prospected considered to be a potential starter vs a role player, and at what value is a prospect considered to be a key contributor?
And why does the scale start somewhere north of 80? The data analyst in me hates this.
Don't worry, they'll have industry plant Joe Tessitore spending the entire ACC Championship Game broadcast reminding everyone why SMU isn't good enough to be an at large team if they lose, effectively using the entire game to explain why Alabama is more worthy than either participant knowing the committee is watching.
No they will spend 3 hours pumping up Alabama and maybe Ole Miss and SCar while they are at it. They already locked the Texas and UGA boxes, now they need to sell jumping Bama over Miami and SMU if the Mustangs lose.

Thank you, I was giving general examples. They don't go undefeated there every year. Someone beats them.
Fyi, GA hasn't won in death valley since 2018. Ole Miss hasn't won there since 2008.
He's a RS Junior- or Senior (4 years since HS). So technically he is a senior academically, and likley has his degree. This concept wasn't blasphemy until the recent endless eligibility waivers and covid.
What are they going to talk about for 3 hours? How texas and UGA are both in, and the game means nothing?

Wonder why he would walk, he's class of 21
Even without integrity, going to Big 10 who they don't broadcast more than the ACC which they do is just icing on the cake. It further divides the focus on the two conferences it has the rights to.
Tuten also missed about ten quarters of football right?
If they cared about integrity, being interesting, and having something other than mouth breather McAfee yelling at the camera for 3 hours, they would go to the game with the most stakes- Texas and UGA are already in the playoff. So go to the ACC or B12 game where there are actual stakes involved. The loser goes home, etc. But they don't have integrity. They will go to ND when not airing the game and the game is meaningless. They have done that many times.
Becomes important after the recent portal entries.
if all the gaps are filled properly, sure. but attacking the correct gaps means knowing to force or spill based on where the blocker is attempting to create the gap (edit: hole). the option of the ball carrier getting the defense to step or lean the wrong way or to force/spill incorrectly is what creates the problem
I haven't been able to watch all of the commits, but I just want to reiterate that this is such a cool way to get the players and their families involved. It's a little cheesy, but you can see how excited everyone is about it.
There were four or five kids they were still working to flip so might be connected to that. One is an OL that decommitted from GT after GT flipped an OL from FSU.

Speaking of College GameDay, this weekend will be the 10th time they have been at an SEC home game.
All other conferences
Big Ten - 4
ACC - 2

This kid is a wrecking ball. Has exceptionally good feet for a internal lineman. Got to see him a couple times this year.
