i only a know a few names this year. harris is one and james williams. rivers i only heard of bc of twitter. its a nice feeling to not care as much personally.
its more than that. you gotta pay up no matter how much you win. these kids think theyre good enough to turn any program around. if youre offering up more than the other school, youre not getting them
the issue is the truly elite kids are mostly leaving. if you want to contend for titles, you have to find a way to hit on those elite kids. winning helps, but it wont change the nature of recruiting, which is extra benefits will yield better results
you always recruit them but you have to go to the clemson route -- if you decommit, your offer is pulled. bleep all the handlers and rappers who will inevitably talk crap about UM for pulling that move, but its the only way. the UM offer should be respected and it isnt right now.
