The Blue Board

LOL...

My bad. I'm in an oversigning frenzy here mang!

I really do like the rule about greyshirting guys who have already reported. I don't want to see that happen in the future, so it's good to take it away all together.

To me the medical hardship oversight is huge.

All i have gotten out of this thread is the Big 10 is tired of getting their butts whooped by the sec.

Alabama still has 8 more cuts to make. I have a feeling you are going to see a record number of medical hardships before the new rule is in place.

And that the $EC won't have the benefit of a full recruiting class worth of extra players to sift through over a 4-5 year period. Amazing how easy it is to have a great team when a signed LOI is just making it past the first round of cuts.

There's a difference between " a few extra" and "enough to fill an entire recruiting class on its own". When you have 25% more prospects to work with than your opponent, doesn't it stand to reason that you're going to net out more high level performers?

I make no excuses for our loss to 'Bama; we lost fair and square. We were outplayed and out-talented, no doubt about it. I do wonder, however, how many of those guys would still be on your team if oversigning wasn't allowed, and how that would impact our game. I'm 99% sure that MSU would have still lost; the OL/Front-7 disparity was just too much on both sides of the ball.

Oversigning isn't the only thing working against the Big 10 here. We play the SEC in it's own backyard for most our bowl games and FL hasn't played a non-conf opponent outside the State of FL in decades. Before you go puff out your chest, keep in mind that it is a far from even playing field, one that quite clearly tilts in favor of the SEC.

Your team was pathetic. and to think they won a share of the Big 10 title. shows how terrible the Big 10 really is. that game was the worst beatdown i've ever seen. injured MSU QBs every play, at one point a WR had to play QB.

I dont think yall understand that if we couldn't oversign we wouldn't have signed some of the guys that we did. If we could take chances on some guys we would. I strongly believe if we were limited to 25 back then our classes would look very similar to who we got. What i mean is the main guys we wanted and got we would still have gotten. Sure we may not have gotten some of the lower rated players that we were kind of hoping could develop into something but how many of those guys actually pan out?

I would agree!!

No they weren't. Marcell was thought to be the best prospect in AL out of high school by many on our board. He was rated low because of his grades. Watch his high school film, he was an animal. And Cody was a huge get too.

anyone who calls dareus a marginal recruit knows nothing about the 2008 class..he was so good, saban let his brother, who had no chance of ever qualifying, commit and sign on live TV with him....Hightower committed in november.....Ingram was a 4 star and hotly pursued by bama....Cody had to be talked out of decommitting and going to Miami right before NSD...I was on BOL everyday following that class....All of those kids were big time....Saban routinely discusses how Hightower and Dareus are examples of kids he had rated #1 at their positions on his board coming out of HS...
