Sid: Fleck on Douglas

[STPGopher]

So recruiting can't be judged at all until the players have completed 4 years.

How bout at least one down?

Well... that's not a terrible idea longer term.

That's fine. So if the gophers had the #1 ranked recruiting class in the country, posters here would argue that we couldn't classify that as a success? Seems nuts to me, since Bama is in the title game every year and 7 odd years in a row of the number 1 class.

Let's worry about that once we get in the top 40.

You can classify things how you want.

So we can judge recruiting success before a down is played. You'd just like to see some of PJ's recruits on the field and see how they look in Big 10 action? That seems reasonable.

Biggest success? None of the recruits has even played a game yet.

Douglas was absolutely a recruiting success.

 

[John Galt]

Sure, go ahead. But to call DD his biggest success at MN seems a bit premature, don't you think?

He called him a recruiting success. Recruiting successes don't always translate to on-field success, but it's a good start.

Since PJ hasn't coached a game yet and none of his recruits have played, what else do you want to discuss?

Douglas looks good.

Autman Bell can leap and catch and twist very, very well....hope he heals fast.

Did I say he wasn't?

2-weeks before kickoff I can think of a few things I'd rather discuss than labeling an 18-year old kid who hasn't played yet our coaches "biggest success" (of any kind).

I thought it was premature to label DD that at this time and people get in a tizzy. It was in no way a shot at DD or Fleck so the sters can settle down.
