I’ve said for a while now; top kids wanna go to a school that

A) Competes or are in the conversation for championships &/or

B) Gets players drafted in the 1st couple of rounds

So what did we have going for us last season?

Though ugly at times, we had a solid 2nd season under Manny. We had 2 guys at the DL position drafted in the 1st round. Also, we had two high profiled kids commit to us from our own back yard. So although we didn’t end the season like we wanted, we trended up, overall.

But there was also something else that took place; COVID-19. Nationally rated kids didn’t get out and visit like before. Some parents (know this personally) didn’t give af about a program’s rep & wanted their kids closer to home out of fear. Well, that’s over w/, and the sleaze game is in full effect again.

We’re still trending this off season. Between sports writers & some top recruits, ppl r bullish on us. I believe w/ a successful season, we can garnish a top 7 recruiting class….BUT, if we pull out another 7-8 wins this yr, no Coastal, no Bowl game W, I can see our class collapsing to top 20-25 margin. We’ll be looked at, once again, the team that does less w/ more & these bag programs will absolutely murder us.

The problem we're up against is that kids think Sabag has this magic dust formula in player development that helps kids get drafted in the first couple rounds. The reality is that bama kids get selected high because they are the best recruits to begin with.

We can't embarrass ourselves. But the pressure is entirely on Bama for that game. They lose, the world is upside down. We lose (respectably) and then have a 10-win season, we gain recruits not lose them.

There aren't other good recruits in the country? Players from North Dakota State and Wyoming are being drafted in the 1st round. There has to be a middle ground, for us anyways, in getting the next tier of talented kids AND the coaches developing them.
 
Some notes from TAMU board:

apparently Jimbo hired not one but TWO of UGA defensive analysts. The second one was a primary contact with both Shemar Stewart AND Kamari Wilson when he was at UGA. Likely the reason both seem to be interested in TAMU now. Wilson just took an OV there last weekend. Shemar is saying he is visiting there the last weekend in July when the dead period opens up for a week.

Sabag is obsessed with narrative control. Kind of like Dabo going for the extra field goal on us before halftime. Anytime Bama is not dominating during our game he will be having a melt down. One of the last things Sabag wants is for south Florida recruits to be reminded what the University of Miami is capable when the propaganda is put to rest and we are able to keep our boys home in paradise.
