Thanks but I was trying to learn more about the reasons we were so short in the secondary that French alluded to in the intro to his column.

There were no failures in recruiting this year. Just kids who made choices. Focus on the players that chose to come and play for this university and not the people who we're thinking about coming here and made the decision to go elsewhere. We got a great class of players coming in this year so lets get excited about how they can make an impact on our football team

Troubled by is in ability to not trash talk after each play. We already seem to lack discipline at key moments in games. Frank and Bud need to nip this in the bud early.

Agree with 1-5 but I'd say 6-Randall 7-LT 8-Glennon...Randall is one of our more underrated QBs and he had an incredible senior year. I might even put Randall ahead of DeShazo or MV2.

No way Glennon is higher than Randall. Winning is most important. Randall was a winner.

Otherwise, the list looks about right. But hard to put Deshazo above LT given he holds so many records.

French, can you or anyone else go into a little more depth about the "recruiting failures"? Did we just miss out on recruits or was something else happening?

I would say Senior Tyrod edges out Freshman Vick by a nose, just from a QB standpoint. Now, impact on the program and everything, Vick wins. But as a passer, a guy who understands the defense, etc., I'd give the edge to Tyrod in his last year.

You can't leave Don Strock off this list. Top 3 easily. Led the nation in passing and offense his senior year in 1972, and went on to play 15-16 years in the NFL. Mostly as a back-up, but still...

Actually, to be completely honest, I did downvote that comment. I really only rarely ever downvote anyone's comments. It may not specifically fall under community guidelines but I personally didn't like the comment and took offense to it. From your subsequent comments perhaps you meant it positively but I believe that how you wrote it has quite a significant negative connotation. I agree being a leader of a gay team would be something of value. Being a mascot however is very different than that.

But I appreciate your comments, and even though I disagree with you, will give you a turkey leg back because of the respectful dialogue. Just please don't say a gay football player should be a "mascot" in the future, or I may have to take that turkey leg back again.
