Come on brother. Let me pull you back from the ledge. Id hate to think of what you thought we look like the past 15 years of you think we look like idiots now. The only way we look like idiots going 0 for 5 is if you or anyone convinced yourself we were landing all these guys. I know you know better than that.

We arent going 0 for 5 for starters. But if we did, that means we lost 1 to Alabama, one to GA, one to OSU, one to potentially UF if you think Malik is going there..a kid who grew up in their backyard I believe (I still say Cane even if he pushes his announcement back), and Kirkland I assume you are calling the 5th....Im not convinced he had the green light from the staff if he doesnt sign with us.

Id be interested with who we replace them with. The class so far is lights out with more to come. We are fighting in the heavyweight class now. We are going to get punched harder.
For starters, I still think we land Bryant and Bonsu. Let me just make that clear before I dive into a tangent that will be perceived by some sunshine pumpers (not directed at you) as mopey.

As of last Thursday, we thought we were getting four of the five: Bryant, Aguero, Bonsu, Alinen. Heck Kirkland wanted in but “didn’t have a spot”. So really - it was “we gettin’ everyone.

Losing Alinen doesn’t suck as bad, because we can pivot to someone like Freeling. Losing Aguero…yeah that’s going to sting, but it’s somewhat reasonable to expect considering their recent on-field success. Still, a Dominican kid…eh, sucks.

No excuse to lose Bryant. None whatsoever, especially considering our lack of quality and depth at linebacker. Same goes for Bonsu assuming we’re whiffing on Aguero, when we don’t have a safety in this class.

I’m just saying (and this may not apply to these particular recruits), that we can’t rely on all the “silent” talk that came from the last batch of OV’s. Look how quickly things changed from last Thursday to today. Guys we think we’re penciled in weeks ago like Sampson…to me, he’s not. All the big boys are going to come calling, and the longer he goes uncommitted…well, I’ll let you fill in the blanks.

July was supposed to be a banger month, and the first half of it was…but that halfway point of recruiting momentum we were allegedly at, it’s come to a screeching halt - if we go 1/5 or 0/5 this weekend.

Am I outraged at the staff? **** no, they’re doing the lord’s work fixing Manny’s mess right now. But don’t expect a Top five class if we whiff on all these guys. Adjust your expectations back to 7-10.

Yup, I agree. I think we should be reevaluating the staff, I've seen enough at this point. We have ZERO momentum right now
