Maybe but I’ve seen UM be the first offer when the recruit was ejaculated into his mom’s ****** and then LSU or bama comes in the day before signing day and he goes there.
Point is kids will find an excuse if they don’t want to come, which means they never wanted to come here in the first place.
All of our commits have a valid reason to look elsewhere with this garbage season and most have stayed on.
I agree w this, as well. However, as I’ve pointed out several times, the difference between yesteryear & today is that there’s been some awful evaluations by our staff.
Listen, I’m all for getting the elite guys in the back yard and across the country, but when u suck *** as a program, u’re evaluation game better be on point b/c the elite guys are going to be few in between.
Let’s talk about Baby Richt last QB cycle as an example; he flying cross country for a kid who didn’t have real interest in us, but got a kid in his palm begging for an offer who was at camp. Kid was a 3 star at the time, while the other kid was a 4 star. Season progresses, the 4 star kid literally laughs when asked about us, the 3 star kid gets bumped to a 4 star, gets an offer from a Nat’l power in Clemson, and commits.
Meanwhile, Baby Richt & Papa Richt says they won’t take a QB this yr, but they realize how f’d up the QB room is so now they’re in scramble mode, so we settle on plan unknown.
What I just shared was not an anomaly, it’s been a trend since 08. The elite guys r going to fly the nest b/c not only do we suck, but we’ve had a staff full of non relatable coaches that can’t recruit for ish, which means the guys who are fringe 4 stars or 3 stars has to be appropriately evaluated. Far too often I see guys like
@Paranos @Liberty City El @gogeta4 post On Guys we should take a look at and we don’t. The guys we do look at, we all be like, “why?” Then when the latter player don’t work out and the guys that were suggested do, yet we don’t offer or offer hella late, we all scratch our heads.
We got Bandy and Harley b/c of their connections here, but we almost lost these two, as well. It’s just been a total chit show, and our depth has suffered b/c of it. Our competitive edge has suffered b/c of it.
