*** 2021 Recruiting ***

My original post was responding to some who was claiming a 6-1 start is crazy to think about. 
 

My question is then, what games are unwinnable?  I think we have the ability to win each one of our first 7 games, so it’s not so crazy to think we could start 6-1. 
 

Your point is well taken though. How the team reacts to adversity early in the year will be big.

I agree with all that and it was my bad that my response was not cogent to your original post.

 
Priority:

NT - We'll see where some of the current young guys end up playing.  But a true NT would be really handy in this class.

TE - Didn't take one in 2020 so we'll need to make up for that.

OL - We were light in 2020 (after being heavy in 2019).  Off to a really good start here.

QB - The odds would tell you that it's unlikely both McCaffrey and Smothers graduate here.  Have to have one every class.

we could start 6-1. We could also go undefeated and win the national championship. I mean, none of the games on the schedule are unwinnable. But where you end up is more than just the individual games put together - it's a cumulative/momentum/emergent thing that arises over time and chances.

So, you're equating people claiming we have a good chance of starting 6-1 to going undefeated and winning the NC.  OK.....

Nice jump in hyperbole.  

Again, give me two games in the first 7 that you sit here right now and say they are definitely/probably losses.

First, that's not what equating is.

Second, give me one dice roll that you say is a definite/probable 1-3 number. Then do it again. Then do it again. Dice rolls aren't the same thing as football games but the emergent quality of the cumulative odds falling the further you keep going is the same across both.

Could have a 76% chance of winning each game; that means we'd end up 5-2 out of them. 

 
That announcement barely affects the Big 3. OSU, Mich and PSU.  The bottom eleven will further lose ground. Our best chance for success is getting kids to campus.
