The issue is the DL Coach whom we just had to have back has not recruited well enough over the last two years. Especially last year which was the reason we brought him back to take advantage of the DL in the state. When several posters brought up the glaring and obvious issue of his lack of recruiting we were told ?several of those players weren?t good? (Franklin, Echols, etc). Turner is living off what he did 10 years ago when he had time to develop guys like AJ Jefferson, Ryan Brown, Preston Smith, Nelson Adams. Well times have changed and he needs to either step up in a hurry or get gone.
We ain't done losing recruits. We don't have anything outside LB to talk about either. It's not simply Turner. And Franklin was a money guy 100% and OM was who paid up. Echols family is at OM & we liked him as an OL.
