***an (FSU), Wright (FSU), and Carter (currently committed) are three of our four top safety targets, right?
Don't care about crystal balls, but it'd be pretty brutal not to land any of them.
I hate to say it but haven't we seen this movie already? Play on the field and score on the board better be different this year. Mark needs to beat FSU to send his message that a new sheriff is in town, or we will see banners before the end of year 3 -- just saying. I cannot wait for the season because I think Mark beat Jimbo with Brad at QB and deline coach with a thirst for qb blood. None of the other stuff is exciting me. Other than Kool, coaching hires were pedestrian; we have another really good guy at HC (grant a better coach), we are looking for "high character" recruits, our top prospects are committing elsewhere ..... Trying to ignore everything until FSU game.
Coach Diaz & Coach Dugans were stellar pickups for our program. Diaz has put a ton of kids in the NFL on Defense from Miss State & Midd Tennessee St (which is far more difficult to do) & Coach Dugans is one of, if not our best recruiter we have on staff.
Coach Rumph's impact on recruiting will be felt more so in the
#Storm18 class than in his first year.
The problem isn't the staff, the problem is the stench is still left over from the Folden regime & we haven't put a winning team on the field in a long time.
Also, I think Richt is doing business different by not doing business... One of the dirty secrets of recruiting is the Elite programs are handing off bags of cash to get these kids, either to family or High School coaches, but the fact is money is exchanging hands for these recruits.
And I think some of the trepidation with our new staff is that they're new on the scene & they're not doing what FSU, Bama, ND, Michigan, Oh State & Clemson are all doing, so there's more hesitation to commit.
