re: The "what if" game with Fuente ...

I'm watching the game as well...and it just cements my opinion regarding Fuente.

He needs to be wearing Garnet and Black next year.

Considering what we know about Lynch, I think the sky is the limit with what he could do with our current QB talent. Add in McIlwain and holy hell....it makes my soul smile just thinking about it.

I've seen a lot of ppl elsewhere bitching about the # of 2 and 3 stars we're recruiting vs. 4 and 5 stars. I don't necessarily buy 100% into the stars assigned to recruits, though. You have 5 stars that are just unstoppable in high school but cannot adapt at the next level....and you have walk ons that end up making 5 stars look like scrubs. Get a coach in here (like Fuente) who has proven that he's able to develop players, finessing and building on natural ability, and suddenly you've got a team full of players who are all able to contribute at an elite SEC level when called upon.

I would love to see Pharoh return, but I've heard rumblings (as I'm sure you have) that he's leaving after this year.

Long and short of it...Tanner better get a jump on Fuente if he hasn't already.
