Amazes me how so many take their "thoughts" as absolute fact. None of us know for sure who, how many or to what degree the staff is recruiting any player or position. Suggesting because a player chooses another school that the staff cooled on a guy or didn't recruit him with intent is nonsense. All teams miss on some of their primary targets and many other factors decide what their needs are and who they recruit. Not to mention current depth and commitments at said position. Too may assume since our state competitors get a guy he must be better than the guy we got. With all their stellar recruits, it's not like fsu and the gates dominated college football last year. Both got trounced in bowl games by improving programs. The difference between say a Daniel Wright and Billy Gibson after training and coaching may not be as great as the "star" system may suggest. That's not to say getting 4 and 5 star players aren't important, but good evaluations are equally as important.
