My thoughts on the class so far (long)

I'll let you know in four or five years! Time will tell! Either way it will be interesting!

If only there were some way to predict how classes will turn out.

Why even play the games at all? We can determine championships based on gold stars being handed out! The Ducks are back!

Take it to the 'Alabama is doing it the wrong way' bored.

Let's hire Sark as their head coach and see what happens to all that talent.

You might like to read this:https://www.seccountry.com/alabama/nick-saban-changed-college-footballs-recruiting-culture

I'll summarize: Saban thinks recruiting is the most important thing he does.

I'll summarize the relevance to this bored: Pete is much closer to Saban than to Sark.

I will do some extra math for you:

If you don't think recruiting matters, you are wrong.

If you are arguing 'what matters more' then you are a fucking idiot who doesn't understand simple path models of causation.

Most fucking Americans are so fucking retarded they cannot even conceptualize a world in which an outcome can have more than one variable affecting it... but it turns out...

WAIT FOR IT

WAIT FOR IT

WAIR FOT IW

WAIT... JUST A LITTLE LONGER...

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!!! WOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOW!!!!

I can't remember who it was(recruiting coordinator?) that either came from Georgia to our staff or went to Georgia from our staff but they said we essentially recruit using a similar process. One of the differences being that Peterman tries to be even more personal in the process which inevitably means fewer offers.

Georgia TBS's well

Where are the fucking championships? I'll wait...
 
I know you are the not the most ready for conceptual analogies so let me try to explain it to you a different way:

Imagine talent is rated on a scale from 1-5. (like stars - trying to make it easy on you)

And a coach can multiply the talent any where from 0-2.

What are the possible outcomes?

0-10.

Are you following?

I'll wait for your response. Let's see if we can get this one licked today.

If you trust recruiting analysts to accurately judge it every time, then sure. Sure Dennis. Sounds foolproof.

IF ONLY THERE WERE SOME WAY TO SEE WHETHER THE RATINGS CORRESPONDED TO MEANINGFUL OUTCOMES!!!!!!!

It's so difficult living in the 2049 BC. I wish I could fast forward to a time with a computer where this kind of thing would take seconds.

See you in five years! Have fun overreacting! I will pray for your autism!
 
Dennis, you seem to like to write a lot just to state the obvious here. Coaching and talent both matter. Yeah, no shit Einstein. My point is that: a. It's fucking June and b: recruiting analysts are often wrong and stupid

See you in five years when the wins and losses tell me how good this class that hasn't even been signed is. Good luck the rest of the way!

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU... THERE WERE A WAY TO PREDICT HOW GOOD WE ARE GOING TO BE IN FIVE YEARS...

Since you are a transplant here from the past - DO NOT THINK ME A SORCERER!!!

I AM NOT!! I AM JUST A MAN WITH THE ABILITY TO REASON!!!

I HAVE BEEN GRANTED THAT ABILITY BY GOD AND TRAINED BY SOME OF THE FINEST MINDS IN THE WORLD TO DO JUST THAT!!!!

I AM NO SORCERER SIR!!!

I HAVE... EXCEL!
 
The forecast is always wrong.

Rule fucking one.

WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT NICK SABAN WITH GREAT RECRUITING CLASSES WOULD WIN?!?! WHO!?!?!

WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED IT?!?!?!

What a shame for you that non-perfect prediction means that everything is meaningless.

What a shame for you that gas dynamics is not nearly as complicated as projecting football games.

WHAT A SHAME FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE IN A TIME WHERE IT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE!!!

I'm sure you're right. I'm sure none of this matters...

Oh wait. Everyone who cares about winning football as a job thinks it's the most important thing they do.

But they are probably wrong and you are right.

Oh - wait hold on - I'm being told that the SECOND ORDER relationship between coaches evaluations and recruiting rankings are strong enough to generate a good predictive model.

SORRY J!!!

Are you talking about Georgia specifically that just missed the championship in OT after being irrelevant forever? Then got a good recruiter and was suddenly a play away from a national title.

Or were you talking about teams that recruit using that same Alabama system who have won 6 out of the last 10 championships.

You just trolling at this point.

Disagree. Nick Saban could get by a bus tomorrow. Bet your model doesn't account for THAT.

OH MY GOD!!! YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO THE RIGHT ANSWER!!!!!

I FEEL IT IN YOU...

it's almost like...

...

...

coaching matters too. And talent matters too.

HOW CAN THAT BE THOUGH?!!?!?

I thought as an American we were told there was a BOTTOM LINE!?!?!

WHICH MATTERS MORE?!?!?!?!?!

YOU MEAN THE ARE an 'INTERACTIVE EFFECT' !?!?!?!

NO THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!!!

I WANT A BOTTOM LINE!!!

INTERACTIONS ARE FOR EURO-PUSSIES LIKE THE GERMANS!!!!!!!
