English is in the dog house and has been issued an ultimatum for being a pussy and slacker.

The rabbit package next year should be really effective, and if it is not, lack of talent won't be an excuse. Also, add Sawyer to that Rabbit package.

Is the second picture Chode Kelly?

And do Arky fans still think they're getting Braxton Miller? Saw a couple threads about him going there but didn't read them so idk if they were serious/debunked

eta- I can see him coming here

Would really love Braxton Miller. Would be a huge help and let Mitch work another year. Depending on how that year goes, I would be much more confident for the next 2 years.

I do not know, but I think that is why Mangus went to the in-home to close.

Spurrier, Ward and Brown are visiting Fields on Thursday. Hopefully they can keep him on board because hes on of the best guys we've got coming in and could make an immediate impact in the secondary.

Hes got OVs scheduled to Texas and Clemson

JUCO OT Paris Palmer decommits


fuu......ck ...... ...... .....

There were 5 commits that were absolutely essential to next year's success. Paris was one of them. He was going to be our starting LT for the next 2 years...this is a huge fricking blow.

We are 6 days away from JUCO signing day. Coach Elliott was scheduled to do an in home with Paris and his family tonight, they texted him and told him not to bother coming and he decommits. Last week the whole penn st staff went to see him....

How did we lose a recruit to penn st? they are a shitty program and doing even worse than us this season? This makes no fricking sense. They were awful this year. They were so bad. Palmer was going to come in and start for us next year, psu has a RS Soph and a RS Jr starting for them next year....

What a complete fail in recruiting...if you don't want to read anything disparaging about our coaches, don't read past this point.

Spurrier Jr is the worst recruiting coordinator we've had that I can remember. He got the job in '11 after Beamer left. Our 12, 13, and 14 classes weren't anywhere on par with our Top 10 rankings we were earning on the field. Now he is letting the 15 class fall completely apart. This is the 2nd 4* OT we've lost in a 6 weeks, and Palmer was the most important OT recruit out of all of them.

Murdock, Thomas, J. Barnes, M. Barnes, Hill, Clement, Lecorn, Scruggs, Gurley, Alshon, Sanders, Roland, Fuller, Cooper, Davidson, Googer, Samuel. These are the 4* WR's Bubba has had his 10 year period. From Murdock to Sanders, only 3 of the 11 got to play Pro ball and were playing college ball in a Spurrier offense.

Bubba nor Spurrier scheduled an in home with Paris Palmer this month, during his JUCO signing period. Spurrier is only taking 3 visits this month, after telling the world and the recruits he was leaving in 2-3 years...are you serious?

Elliott.....this is the 2nd 4* OT he's lost in 6 weeks....He went from the strongest recruiter on the team, to a weak link now. I have no idea what's going on with him. Does he feel too safe in his job? The OL had 3 PreSeason All SEC Selections, and finished the season with 1...doesn't sound safe to me. He better have some major fricking coup/flip in the works.

I could let this run too long, but I'm pissed about the piss poor effort in recruiting these past 6 weeks. We've lost 3 commits. jaire Alexander was a good player, we lost him to a shitty Louisville team. Austin Clark could have been a great OT for us in 2-3 years, we lost him to a shittier va-tech team. Palmer was going to be a fricking starting LT for us next year, we lost him to a school that can't play in the post season b/c their coach raped kids.....are you fricking serious.....?!?!??!?!!?

Bubba needs to relinquish the Recruiting Coordinator position right now, immediately. He isn't doing a great job, hasn't done shite in 3 years, he's having a hard enough time coaching our WR's. Elliott needs a come to Jesus talk from someone, what the hell is going on with him, why are his kids flipping? Spurrier needs to play less golf and take less time off and decide if he really has his heart in this and wants to actually win an SEC. If he's just going through the motions, not calling plays anymore and doesn't want to recruit, then it's best for both parties that he moves on.


ETA I thought I was done, and vented, but I'm still pissed. The only reason Bubba got that job is b/c of his dad. The only reason he got Recruiting Coordinator is b/c of his dad. The only reason he would been kept around 10 years and have produced such marginal results is b/c his dad wouldn't fire him. Bubba needs to do his dad a favor and find somewhere else to coach. Money and blood don't mix like two dicks and no bitch, you find yourself in serious shite. You can't make business decisions when family is involved.

I agree with the frustration over Spurrier's lackadasical recruiting and Bubba's performance as the RC. I wouldn't put the blame on Elliot for losing these two OTs though.

I heard that Clark was in a situation where he simply needed to stay closer to home. Not much a recruiter can do about that.

Elliot was going to visit with Palmer but I think the lack of Spurrier going with him hurt us big time. I wouldn't think that the 2-3 years comment would affect a JUCO that would only have 2-3 years to play, but that combined with Spurrier not visiting Palmer probably gave Palmer the impression that Spurrier just doesn't give a shite.

Hopefully Brandon Shell will stay for next year and Na'Ty Rodgers will get his shite together. Regardless, we're probably looking at a 2011 level oline next year without the benefit of a mobile QB

It is not just Spurrier not going to visit Palmerwithin weeks of signing his national letter of intent, its Bubba not going to his dad and saying you have to do this.Eliot could have also called Palmer every day for the past two weeks and he didn't. Palmer said he hadn't heard from anyone in 2 weeks.

I think Clark knocked up some girl, so I get why he has to stay up there.I just heard that as a rumor though.

also, we don't have Rogers anymore, he already left the team. the only scholarship office of tackles we have next year will be shell, Zandi, Park, Pellage. bummer was going to be our bridge until Pellage, or Park or Stanley were ready.
