Not looking likely now. That was an awful mistake by South Africa. They will not advance out of the group

Oh, I have to bring back my boxing whisker recruiting plots

UPDATE: It's pretty stark how much Franklin has improved recruiting:

  • Franklin's classes are the strongest of the four eras. Franklin's lower quartile so far is equivilant to the median recruit (composite score) from Beamer's last 5 classes.
  • Pry recruited consistently, and raised the floor, but (as y'all know) couldn't land the high-end talent. The narrowest box and zero outliers in either direction, but his ceiling (.918) is the lowest of any era. Solid floor, no stars.
  • Beamer's era has the widest spread. I attributed this to improvements that eventually came to recruiting services. You have all these guys like the Edmunds x2, Dadi Nichols, Chuck Clark, etc who were poorly graded by the services. I think the services have gotten better and probably wouldn't miss those guys.
  • Fuente's median (.862) is the lowest of the four, despite landing a few elite outliers (many of whom were unable to reach their full potential (Devon Hunter) or stick around (Doug Nester)).

What's the difference between Black Eyed Peas and Chickpeas?

The Black Eyed Peas can sing us a song and the Chickpeas can hummus one.

Full disclosure, I somehow missed two recruits for Franklin. a WR and a CB, which brings his respective medians in those groups to .89495 and .8922 respective, and his overall median to .8880

My brother set up a group for our family through the FIFA website. There are two types, one is simple (pick teams in each group - no scores needed). The other a little more in depth, guessing each game score.

Especially given that she's already significantly altered whacked the boards at Virginia Tech, VMI, George Mason, VCU, and UVA.

Doesn't sound like our guys have done anything out of sorts except not being liked by the Governor.

edited to change words some may find inflamatory.

I completed a bracket this morning where I somehow ended up with England as World Cup champions, so I feel you on your optimism there.
