3star on one service, 4 on another. His ranking is no better than Stone Saunders or Cutter Boley. People keep making up that Stein is recruiting above what Stoops did. He isn’t. I understand excitement but numbers are numbers. Stoops last 2 portal classes were 6 and 13. Steins was 9th.

You might be right, but Stoops wasn’t committed after trying to leave for Texas A&M. Hopefully Stein and staff can coach them up.

You must be trolling the football thread right?

Just curious. How many NFL QBs has he coached in college?

As far as the portal class, he got here late in the process. Remember? He wasn't coaching here last year...

No I’m not trolling. Numbers are numbers. Every year the media fluffs our numbers and players and I’m done falling for that. Calzada was deadly accurate according to word out of Camp last year.
I will be attending the spring game. I will watch the team and if I see improvements that’s what I will discuss here. I’m just done buying media hype.
Stoops didn’t want a spring game because it would expose how bad we looked. Rather has the media fluffs At least Stein is willing to put his product out.
I came back 2 years ago from the mini practice and said we looked like a mess. People still argued it was only a practice. We won 4 games. You can tell a lot if you know what to look for. Let’s wait and see them ourselves.
Two years ago I watched our Oline and our D ends were blowing past the tackles and getting to the tackle dummy every rep. Our DE has historically had no pass rush. I was like…. O lord???
Then watched Key and Brown horseplay chasing each other around like 2 school girls during WR drills. Zero discipline anywhere. I posted that and 75% defended it. Watch for discipline, competition, athletic abilities and body composition. Unique players stick out even around good athletes.

We have Nawrot and Ponatoski in the fold already for the foreseeable future. I'd be shocked if we got any other commitments at QB.
