Just my opinion, but i think CBN will surprise some folks, maybe not the first year, but sooner than later. again just my opinion.

if the last 10 years of college football have taught us anything, it’s that you have to have talent to be successful. I don’t think people realize how much mullen gutted the program with his lack of recruiting.

Napier is trying extremely hard on the trail, much much harder than mullen did. I am not sure however that the administration department is backing the needs of the football program especially in todays NIL world

Florida is also having a time I believe on the recruiting trail because for these 18 year olds the last time Florida won a conference championship was the same year as their national title and those 18 year olds were 4 years old. Since then: FSU, LSU, Georgia and Alabama have won national titles.

I believe no team has won a national title without a 50% or higher blue chip ratio. Usually it’s over 70%. Florida I believe is around 40% currently, but feel free to fact check that because im not positive

With the sheer amount of talent at Florida's disposal, it boggles the mind, as too why Florida has become a death sentence for HC's..

You could literally recruit instate kids only & should be able too field a team that's stockpiled with talent on par with any team in the country..

not being snarky I promise, but what is do well for them? Tennessee and heupel have good momentum. They have to play LSU and Georgia each year, and they are on par in recruiting with Kentucky and South Carolina.

i see Florida going 6-6 floor and 8-4 ceiling this year. In my personal opinion 8-4 is not good for Florida.

tamu
Georgia
LSU

^ I don’t see them winning these

Tennessee
Kentucky
South Carolina
Utah
Missouri

^ i see them splitting these

What exactly is a 'blue chip' ratio?

No Profanity — How many times do we go over this?

OK, I just had to delete a post from the Football board for profanity. It happens about 4-5 times a year, and I fail to understand why. Every single member attests to having read and understood the site rules. They clearly prohibit profanity. What about that is unclear? There are plenty of...

50%?, nah. The teams that won titles that were close to 50% benefitted from the rinky dink high school offense syndrome. First was Auburn who had Cam, nobody knew how to defend it and the refs weren’t calling penalties against it.

Second was FSU, who benefitted because the RDHO was the only reason Auburn was there to begin with. I think Marshall hit Coats over Cyrus’ head after rolling out and offensive linemen five plus yards downfield. Then the kick six happened. Alabama would’ve throttled Missouri and Florida State.

In conclusion, you need more than 50% of your talent to be elite to win, or you need to be the beneficiary of uncalled penalties.

Sorry that was in poor taste - I apologize and deleted my post. @TideMan09 - you were the first member here who accepted my friend request. I'll never forget that. Sorry again - I knew better....

and that is why I said it needs to be closer to 70%, but at least 60% and the teams at 60% have top tier QBs such as clemson 2018 and LSU 2019

I hate these autocorrect when posting & don't pay attention when it changes words on you..

Napier is bringing in some players and talent. Not bad at all so far on his recruiting class. Recruiting well in Florida too. Gotta give credit where it’s due. Leaps and bounds better than mullen and mac on the recruiting trail

Indeed, we still have to see how he does as a head coach in the SEC. It was ridiculous when people were on his back earlier when he hadn't even coached a game yet and didn't even let the summer play out recruiting wise. I think it's kind of sad how some fans just expect things to always go right every second of every day.

Amen to this...I am still amazed at how many "fans" have their entire ego dependent upon 18-21 year olds who will never know their name. Enjoy the game...but the game does not determine our sense of self.

It's even worse in recruiting. I have seen fans demand coaches be fired because they didn't get some 16–17-year-old that they "just know" is going to be a star.

Alabama really obscures the blue chip data because of how well Saban recruits (there's also a little bit of a loop where once Saban recruits someone the services take a closer look at the recruit and might move them up). With no Alabama it would make it seem like 50-60% is probably adequate.

What it does demonstrate though is you do need some good recruits to win, it can't all be coaching them up.
