Rowley was high-ranked as an OG, not a DL. Same with Kaufusi: as an OT, not DL.

Those two are playing where they wanted to play, not were they SHOULD be playing--that is, if optimising talent is what we're after.

Kaufusi seems injured. Rowley was three stars according to Rivals.

Basing it all on Scout.

Kaufusi is a great man and by all accounts is and will be an amazing husband and

Agreed. He should be on the OL.

Probably not over-hyped. Just playing out-of-position. His optimal position, OT.

An interesting point

Usually, I think he let's high-end recruits play where they want--as do a lot

Mantis Mutu

10/20/14 12:52pm

It's kind of frustrating

wilsdad

10/20/14 1:03pm

I'd love to see what a 320 lb Bronson could be as OT--or a 310 lb Rowley at OG.

Mantis Mutu

10/20/14 1:10pm

Also, wasn't Apo a four star recruit?

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/19/14 11:48pm

Not developed. And yes, part of that comes from the player.

pittsburghcoug

10/19/14 11:49pm

All of it comes from the player. Quit absolving these guys of all responsibility

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/19/14 11:50pm

You're right. It's both. And yes, a lot of it is on the player.

You are confusing. You just argued that Ziggy is due to Bronco's coaching.

MtnMan

10/20/14 12:31am

What I meant to say is IF you're going to judge Bronco's ability to develop

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/20/14 12:48am

That's fine but Ziggy is not the best example. Name another one like Ziggy.

MtnMan

10/20/14 12:57am

Dennis Pitta, Jonny Harline, Daniel Sorensen, Harvey Unga, Cody Hoffman

OC Coug

Don't recruit bad players?

CougarEatU

10/20/14 3:04am

So coaches don't matter at all? Oh, except the 1%. LOL

Singcat

10/20/14 7:55am

I gaurantee Saban would get more from these players than Bronco; not a 1% thing

BamaCoug

10/20/14 10:54am

So one consensus (rivals and scout) 4 star player with significant experience

Blue Cat

10/20/14 12:01am

Man you're really hung up on the star thing

jhingman

10/20/14 12:30am

So, I assume that you don't think we have the talent to beat Utah State?Overall?

CougarEatU

10/20/14 3:09am

Our defensive players now aren't good enough to beat Utah State, CFU, or Nevada

jhingman

10/20/14 9:17am

But when I watch the game, I don't see a bad scheme, or bad play calls

cougXor

10/20/14 1:27am

Yep! It's a joint failure...

10/20/14 6:50am

Kafusi, for the second game in a row, bit on the fake handoff, ran down the

PhilPete

10/20/14 9:50am

Yep, and we blame the coaches for things like this?

jhingman

10/20/14 10:02am

But were the ones who are stupid.

PhilPete

10/20/14 10:53am

How many stars did Texas have on the field?

CosmoK

10/20/14 7:18am

you wouldn't find one 3 star

Coaching matters...

Recruiting Stars Aren't Always Aligned

joncocktoastin

10/20/14 7:33am

Texas has 4 star players too...3 and 4 record

digitalayon

10/20/14 9:07am

And Texas fans correctly hold the coaching staff accountable.

JAGA97

10/20/14 10:40am

Yep, part of the 3 or 4 starting rotation that our D still has. Sad shape.

BlueNtheFace

10/20/14 10:08am

Correct, the point is even with 2nd string (or in case of RB 5th string) BYU
