added a couple more wins to the seasons. When you can win 9-10 games and lose these kids....11-12 game winning seasons really makes you think hard about what was going on.

How about Bolles?

He was a big miss

BrutustheBrash

4/24/17 1:43pm

Fittingly, he went to Utah because of recruiting mrs.

How about not a fit? Can't shoehorn in someone who's blatantly not a HC fit.

Yes

HoustonCougar

Sorry, but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Sorry, but you are wrong here. He's a good kid, and any

Beigel

Chambana Coug

He only had one arm, who could have expected him to be so good

cougaman

4/24/17 1:49pm

What was wrong with his arm? I don't recall any problems there.

There was a picture when he was being recruited that made it look like he had

I hate missing out on Legacy kids

Tangaloa Kaufusi.

My cousin married a Kaufusi that played at the U. I think they just have one son

cougaman

4/24/17 1:55pm

He's not a miss though

Lip Gallagher

Honestly...I'd put Wayne Kirby. Kalani's biggest feather so far, imo.

mantis mutu

I considered him

Britton Covey, Jake Murphy

D.T. Survivor

4/24/17 2:10pm

I'll be honest I straight up forgot about Covey

BrutustheBrash

4/24/17 2:23pm

and none of them played QB....

YouPuntYouDye

4/24/17 2:47pm

Yeah, adding Star and Lowell to the mix--that would have been great

D.T. Survivor

4/24/17 4:04pm

Lol, if you weigh under 160 it is never a real big miss.

Bluedomination

4/24/17 4:15pm

Possibly up to 3 OL

Lip Gallagher

4/24/17 2:25pm

Good picks

BrutustheBrash

4/24/17 2:26pm

I only consider underrecruited kids a miss. Some just choose t o go elsewhere.

Turnpike Lane

4/24/17 2:44pm

I think you're right

BrutustheBrash

4/24/17 3:15pm

Chase Hansen we could have offered as a QB with potential to switch to S.

I really get your point......, but this is how college football works. I live in

Those teams have much, much wider nets to cast looking for recruits.

vagabonder

4/24/17 4:56pm

I didn't know we were losing so many recruits to Miami.

vagabonder

4/24/17 4:45pm

The only answer to this is Star Lotulelei, we just gave up on a first round pick

Dissenter

Saying there's only one answer isn't giving that staff enough credit for

Lip Gallagher

4/25/17 6:35pm

the others are mistakes, but they happen. Star was a catastrophic failure

Dissenter

4/25/17 6:43pm

na, you're taking it too easy on them. Plenty of big failures.
