Of course, that’s resulting in us deceptively being ranked #1 for 2021. (And I’m sure there are some idiots on here who think that’ll actually last.)
Anyway, this was an extremely annoying thing under Richt that I hoped Diaz would stop.
I agree but this is where we run into catch-22 problems. 11/12 of the recruits committed are from the Miami/Dade/SF area. A lot of them were ranked high right out of the gate, and
expect to be treated as such. If we don't give a committable offer, we are accused of being the home school that is late with the offer.
Some of these players won't pan out or develop as thought and will get pushed out of the class (still counts as a decommit however) some will absolutely blow up and Bama, UGA, Clemson will come cherry pick, so what do you do? Not offer a kid just so he won't decommit?
Decommits are a problem but not as bad as the mopes make it seem. We drop a lot of kids, now maybe you can argue the evals are off and that it is an issue to offer in the first place but all schools throw out tonssss of offers.
The same mopes that want to argue "stats aren't important, look at our schedule" are the same ones saying "holy **** 18 decommits!" without looking at who those decommits are. Out of the 2018 decommits you had 5.... 1. Al Blades, (came back) and who are we really missing out of the remaining 4 of Randy Russel, Sitkowski, Jobe, and Patterson???
