You need to step back into reality. People only wanting "real Canes" or not wanting to recruit kids they classify as "divas" would end up with a roster full of Brendan Loftus and Joe Browns if they had their way. Kids like Duke - high-profile kids who commit early and stick - are rare as ****. The dysfunction goes on everywhere. Saban, Meyer, Miles - everyone is battling over blue chip recruits who are peeing into their hats, retweeting stuff from different fans, getting tattoos of schools, pooping into fax machines on NSD, announcing their choice by piledriving university presidents who didn't make the cut, etc.

Welcome back to big time recruiting. It's a circus and a war.

We aren't Temple no matter how much Golden tried to make it so. You guys want more Tyre Bradys and Alex Galls cuz they wanna be here and don't "play games," or do you wanna man up and play the game to get the Cooks, Rudolphs, Collins, and Ridleys of the world? You want Miami to slink away with their tail between their legs crying about "prima donnas," but that's not how it works. Not when you're running a big time program. You've gotta get in that muck and mix it up. Be dirtier and grimier. Convince them to sign. Play the game.

Thankfully Richt was molded in the trenches of the most volatile recruiting area in the country. He's no stranger to the bag men, handlers, and chaos that runs rampant among recruiting in the south.

He ain't scared. Sack up and take note.

I'm not sure what I expected when I opened this thread but I agree with it. Although I hate the 'hat game'...u gotta play the games in big boy college football. I would however love to see Shaq piledrive a dean .
 
Wow lots of good points. I keep telling myself the same stuff but I just can't get over all of the bullsh*t we've been through recently.

Can't wait to be one of the big dogs on the recruiting trail again
 
Fun fact: Brendan Loftus grew up an FSU fan. So in that respect, he wasn't a "real cane" to begin with.
/this has nothing to do with OP and I completely agree with the post

Richt has a well thought out recruiting plan and knows how to execute it. Our last three coaches either didn't have a plan or couldn't execute one, hence they were left holding the bag on signing day time and time again. The other aspect I think will be greatly improved is the evaluation piece of recruiting. When you hire a guy with experience of Richt you are getting someone who has been exposed to SEC level talent for years. I think you will see a lot less misses by this staff in terms of evaluations.
 
You can think Bruce is a d0uchebag and still want him to sign here. We're UM fans, so we get salty when people fck with UM even if he's a blue-chip recruit.

I don't agree with the whole "we should only recruit real UM guys" nonsense, but I haven't seen many people say that. Most would be ecstatic if the little **** signed here, but we have our doubts it will happen based on similar stories we've seen since before Folden showed his pig face here.

Swinging for the fences, your going to strike out some. But you will get some also.
Richt is bringing us back, let him do his thing
 
Richt is always guaranteed to bring in elite classes. That is a fact. He did it for a decade in the **** SEC.

Are people actually worried?
 
It always amazes how much adults care about decisions these kids make.

We have to care.
We don't have to obsess. That'll give us agida.
It's been a while since a team won a NC without being ranked in the top-10 in recruiting the 4 years prior to their title.
