I think our boy finally figured out how to recruit

Figured out? Did you not see this MF recruit a fucking army in his Miami chise?

I was not here for the Canes chise. HOWEVER - recruiting at Miami is as simple as saying "Here's a scholarship"

Different animal recruiting at these SBC schools mayne

Yeah, the adjustment from Miami to KSU was a big one. Even the USF save I did last year when the game first came out to get used to recruiting was a lot easier. Same with my Nevada chise.

I think the ship may have sailed on Skyler Williams. Having these mediocre games in these blowouts is damning.

The Owls are beginning to lap the conference following blowout win, top class in the conference

KENNESAW, Ga. -- The Kennesaw State Owls won just two games in their inaugural FBS season just three seasons ago. There were improvements under head coach Bubba Mack since but the Owls seem to have taken another step, scoring seventy-two points for the second time this season and blowing out conference foe Sam Houston 72-7 on Saturday to now be a game away from clinching a spot in their second consecutive C-USA Championship Game.

The Owls also landed two more commitments on the recruiting trail in South Carolina's Kyle Montelus and another offensive tackle in Dominique Clemons.

Montelus is one of the fastest players in South Carolina with a lengthy and prolific track background that made him one of the top players in the state. Montelus is a versatile receiver with the ability to play X, Z or Y in the Owls offense but is probably more ideally in the slot or at Z where the Owls can use him in motion to avoid facing press coverage. He'll need to improve on his hands as he does suffer from concentration drops but has shown the ability to make some impressive looking one handed snags at times as well.

at least now whatever you do conference wise is justifiable with the wackiness that is real life conference restructuring

Players to Watch
QB Vic Sutton (R-Sr) | 6′3″, 217lbs | 75 OVR, 94 THP, 79 SAC, 77 MAC, 76 DAC
‣ Sutton is coming off his two best games of the season in wins over Sam Houston and Missouri State. He threw for nearly 300 yards last week with two touchdowns but his accuracy remains a problem for the fifth-year senior who will likely be under pressure for most of the game.

WR Tyree Patterson (R-Sr) | 6′1″, 193lbs | 71 OVR, 90 SPD, 91 ACC, 74 CTH
‣ With Cam'ron Lacy transferring to Kennesaw State, Tyree Patterson was expected to take on a bigger role after being second on the team last year. He hasn't taken that step, averaging less yards per game and per reception. If the Blue Raiders are going to upset the Owls, they'll need some splash plays and Patterson, despite his struggles, is best equipped for those.

S Baraka Ndukwe (Soph) | 6′3″, 189lbs | 80 OVR, 85 SPD, 88 ACC, 65 MCV, 74 ZCV
‣ An impressive looking safety that got plenty of burn as a true freshman, Ndukwe has been a bright spot for the Blue Raiders with his versatility both in coverage and run support. Frankly speaking, Ndukwe would be one of the more sought after players in the conference should he enter the portal so these last few games could very well be showcase opportunities for the Texas native.

Jesus Christ, beat the piss out of Sam Houston

Looking forward to how you capitalize on the season.

might be time to start looking at a conference move. i know it's early but...

we shall see

Biggest problem I saw with the Sun Belt was the lower tier schools AI for recruiting was set in stone. They only go after players in their tier, even if its from a pipeline. Put that against a user who is aggressively trying to better their roster - even with house rules in effect - and its easy to see why we're lapping them by year 3.

Kennesaw State is new enough that they aren't entrenched in the Conference USA. I could see them moving to the Big 12, because i think you'll have the same problem if you move up to the American.

It’s Kennesaw State. Perfect for the State-12, I mean Pac-12
