OFFICIAL 2017 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD - Spring Game schedule on first page

[fahqu001]

Watching the Bama spring game, it's just not fair man. Pro talent top to bottom.

Kinda want a rematch though.

Careful what you wish for. Sept 2nd has me worried, man ...

Rough way to kickoff the season. In any case, ole Nicky Pooh trying to talk like FSU is elite at the moment, playing mind games with our kids lol. I'll worry about elite talk after win a few more NCs under Jimbo. Until then, we're just a good team with holes. Backup QB has me worried sick, too, especially if Consetino is named the #2.  I'd feel more comfortable with Bailey Hockman in the game against 'Bama. Hell, maybe even Cam Akers considering he was a QB in HS.

Here's a hypothetical.  Say you're an '18 recruit, you can pick your position if you'd like, and you have your choice of any school(s) in the country. What would your list be (List 10-20 schools. Less if you so choose)? You can give your reasons why, or they can be just because you just like the school; it's really up to you.

Offense: WR
I want to play in an offense where I can have fairly pro-style route tree, somewhere with lots of tradition, and an offense where a fairly productive reeiver can have good to great season with high draft stock coming out of school. Also looking at academics. Also want a cool coach.

1.USC
2. Washington
3. Michigan (simple preference over PSU)
4. Penn State
5. Oklahoma
6. Alabama (academics)


Defense: FS
I am looking to go to a school with great tradition, a great home field to play on, and a defense that is usually stout and allows their DB's to play aggressive. I want the school to be a DB factory where I can sit 2-3 years, [lay 1-2 then get drafted. I also want a good degree in case I get hurt.

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Florida
4.Ohio State
5. Florida State
6. Alabama ( worst academic rep)

I am a firm believer that the perennial powerhouse school kids usually have inflated draft stock

A DB list without Miami on it is crazy...

I want to win more than 9 games per year..

 

[SuperJ5]

DB I'm easily choosing LSU, Florida, VTech, FSU, OSU, Bama in no order

Maybe being high was the reason he couldn't cover in space, everything was moving in fast motion.

 We ever gonna get that NCAA dynasty popping again? MY XBL expires on Friday.

 

[MVP]

My **** expired a few weeks ago and I don't have my 360 anymore. Need the XB1 to put it on backwards compatibility.

 

[casper90403]

UF would have been on my list for DB's if i had three choices. Uni's were the deciding factors when i chose tOSU and LSU.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

USC for running back ? over bama

Article is three years old but:

Draft picks the last 25 years:  17, including Stanley Havili, Joe McKnight, Reggie Bush, LenDale White and Ricky Ervins.
The skinny:  In terms of numbers, it's the Trojans and everybody else as they've had more backs drafted in the past quarter century than any other school. A number of them have had good careers. However, similar to the situation with Trojans quarterbacks, the hit percentage for starting NFL rushers isn't what it should be with 17 draft picks. If you look back even further, USC would shoot up the rankings, but lately it hasn't lived up to its historical reputation in terms of impact tailbacks.

Draft picks the last 25 years:  13, including Eddie Lacy, Trent Richardson, Le'Ron McClain  and Shaun Alexander.
The skinny:  We had grown accustomed to seeing a Crimson Tide back drafted every two or three years, but thanks to Nick Saban, we're seeing one picked just about every year. Shaun Alexander is the headliner of the group but there are some quality names up and down the Tide's list. Six of the 13 drafted turned into starters and the future is bright with T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry in Tuscaloosa.

Go back even further, and SC has much more of a running backs tradition than any other school. Plus Bama made Derrick Henry carry the ball 46 and 44 times in back to back games because their QB couldn't throw a forward pass. Eww. 

I'd also never willingly live in Tuscaloosa for 4 years if it can be helped.

I thought we were being recent, cause if not Miami should be in almost every category
