Judging from all I've read over the past few months with him. He had a lousy senior year which is one reason more schools weren't after him. There's something going on behind the scenes with the family b/c it's been alluded that his mother wants him to get away and mommas don't send like sending their boys away unless there is a good reason. Add on top that it's been mentioned often that he enjoys the attention and drumming up drama so this may end up being much to do about nothing.

There is no reason to think this staff doesn't work their tail of on recruiting when compared to the previous staff. Multiple people from multiple angles mention how much better they are at this than Mullen's crew. Also universally mentioned that Joe is much better with kids and families than Don was so I'm waiting to pass final judgement until the ink is dry in Feb.

Regardless I don't think anything that happens is a result of the staff dropping the ball.
