What ever happened to Devin Fuller?

He was a beast at a nearby high school in NJ, but I lost track of him. He def went to UCLA.

Fuller is a great kid.  Came in as a QB but they quickly converted him to a slot receiver.  Never a star but good enough to get drafted.

Bad OL, bad OL coach and bad OC.  Pola was terribad.  Losing Rosen didn't help of course.

Klemm and Yarber also need to be fired.

Fischer is available.

If they do let klemm go , they're probably waiting till signing day or after à la Ulbrich

No. He's not.

1) He was a chess champion, not a football coach.

2) He's dead.

Klemm's stock fell like a rock, didn't it?

Yep. That's increasingly been the knock, but he was a golden child for a bit.

I could see him going to a school in the sec, where recruiting is cutthroat. 

if not, somewhere like the AZ schools

I'd take him at SC as an "analyst" but not as OL coach. 

i remember sark trying to poach him a couple years ago

UCLA definitely addressing a future area of need with 5 OL.  Considering our record last year and Klemm's firing late in the cycle, they did very well there.  We could definitely use some JCs or graduate transfers for more immediate help.  Quality group of DL to build off last years class (Tagaloa, Osa O.).  Nice DB group as per usual.  It's a top 20 class even with only 18-19 recruits.  Using star average, they should be 10-13th.  Now if only our coaching staff gets its act together...

[Tank]

It's  times like that I really appreciate @nate's opinion and wealth of information.

 

olly olly oxen free, little hombre.

[nate]

I am really happy with the WR coach hire, and I think the OL coach hire is solid.  I am not sold on Fisch though, his history as an OC is kinda spotty and I would prefer that we go back to a spread offense.

 

With that said, it seems like a much better group than last year.  Recruiting OL is going to be huge the next couple years.  I think this is a 8 win team at best but could easily be a 4 win team again.

 

The defensive recruiting class this year was amazing.

[nate]

Sounds like the two big 5* signings; Jaelen Philips and Darnay Holmes are really looking dominant in practice and will almost certainly start.  It is still practice but a good sign when top signings look good.

[Lou]

Jaelen is a freak.

Can't believe CFB is only days away.

Bama vs FSU. Wow.
