Nice pick up. TRob is a great recruiter. Defensive recruits will line up out the door. As for offensive recruits that maybe harder given WMs history. If he's changed look out. If not, prayers.

I didn't really expect him to come to Bama with the brother thing. Plus Saban is well stocked with talent at WR.

Logic isn't exactly sound there.
The point is its easier to get it done at UF than SCar. But in your example it's easier to get it done at Alabama than it is at MSU. And Saban was successful at both schools while Muschamp was not successful at UF.
So basically you made yourself an idiot while trying to call someone an idiot. Congrats.

my thoughts exactly for that particular poster.

To be fair, and I'm definitely not trying to compare Muschamp to Saban, Saban got a 5th year at MSU while Boom got fired after 4 from Florida.
Saban's record in his first 4 years at MSU is worse than Muschamp's record at Florida.

How do you not understand that USC is more like the Central Michigan in that story than either of the programs listed? Will be interesting to see if he can do it consistently, but this is a good pull.

MSU hadn't been to a bowl game in 5 years when he took over. He made a bowl game every year he was there. That would be successful hence why he got hired by LSU.
Muschamp took over a powerhouse program, had one really good season and then tanked. Hence why he got fired.
I don't even know why I'm having to argue this...it was clearly a shitty comparison.

How did Bama not get this kid?
Someone on our board in the last two weeks stated it appeared he might be heading to USC. Something to do with him being an EE and we might not have room for him to come in January.
Great pickup for USC and wanted him at UA.

MSU was nothing before Saban got that program rolling.

Neither was LSU...

Great get by the gamecocks, Chump got that slush fund rolling pretty damn quick.
Posted on 1/2/16 at 7:50 pm to DahlonegaDawg
who could blame him with the long tradition of good wide receivers that have come out of muschamp programs....?
Posted on 1/2/16 at 8:01 pm to TideWarrior
Would not be shocked if he still ends up at Alabama.
Posted on 1/2/16 at 8:06 pm to higgs_boson
Could end up at Alabama. He's an early enrollee so time is a tickin......
Posted on 1/2/16 at 8:12 pm to CayceCock13
Congrats on the get. If he's anything like his brother you got a good one.

Much respect.

Why?
Obviously that's not necessarily the case.
Spurrier (while at SCAR) beat Meyer (while at UF) just like he did Muschamp (while at UF).
It's all about frame of mind.
Florida, the state of, has more talent to choose from ... but they can still only sign so-many at a time.
Florida has the conference and national championships to tout ... but those are relatively modern.
It wasn't all that long ago that Florida was right where SCAR is right now.
Florida does not have vastly superior facilities ... matter of fact, in terms of most head-to-head facilities comparisons SCAR probably wins.
Gamecock fans are not nearly as spoiled. Spurrier raised expectations, but we are far more appreciative of hard work, solid fundamentals and solid student-athletes IMHO. That's not a knock on Florida, it's just how we see things differently.
We're not trying to overtake Florida in the pecking order. We're trying to be competitive on a yearly basis, recruit well, coach'em-up, play hard, stay out of trouble, go to class ... and everything else will take care of itself over time.
I would even argue it is not easier to win at Florida or Bama or LSU or whomever. All those programs have huge targets on their backs because of recent successes. Everyone wants to knock them off.
I know for a fact it is not easier to win at SCAR in baseball. We can never blink, as evidenced by last season. Everyone wants to beat us badly ... and it's the same way for LSU baseball.
It's not easier to win at Kentucky, in basketball, same reasons.
Is it easier to recruit? I dunno if that's even the case anymore in any sport. Well, it is to a degree but you still gotta coach'em-up.
Vandy was not a powerhouse in baseball until Corbin got there.
Kentucky was down until Calipari got there.
Meyer faded fast at UF once he lost Tebow.
LSU went through some down-times on the baseball diamond after Skip.
MY point is ... that if you recruit good talent and coach'em-up you can win anywhere. And win big.
Did mUSChamp learn any lessons that he'll correct while at UF? That's the question, and that's the point. All of this is relatively uncharted territory in this league.
Remember, everyone said Spurrier could never last at SCAR, would never win ... and he proved otherwise, on both counts.
SCAR is a different animal than anywhere else in the country.
