Yea as I said the other day, this staff doesn't seem to have a very firm recruiting plan. These are guys we could've gotten in November if we needed. Honestly we don't need to be taking them at all. If you're taking guys like this then just focus on the portal. We'll see how it turns out and maybe they'll get it figured out but doesn't look good right now.

Not totally surprising with a brand new head coach in all facets. HOWEVER, if that isn?t solved, it will be a short tenure as we all know. Hope not, of course.

The whole point in hiring these guys from Mississippi was because they were supposed to immediately clean it up in recruiting.

At least that was what I was told.

I'm going to enjoy Will's last year because I think I see where this is ultimately headed after this year.

Have you seen either of these kids play?

I mean I understand grabbing a guy you KNOW is going to be ranked... But this seems under whelming.

I'm not a fan of taking unranked guys early, but in Mississippi, sometimes that means nothing. Wasn't Chris jones unranked?

[Cooterpoot]

I'm going to be quiet right now. But what I'm hearing isn't good.

5 star

That's after he blew up. Dan took him in summer camp or something early when he was unranked

[BuckyIsAB****]

It?s going to be ok. Arnett is not going to be out worked. He is one of us. We did let some other voices play a big role in who we hired but that is why it?s called a program. The head coach is supposed to take input from others. If he didnt no one will follow him. One person can not do it alone. We have a good staff. We are going to be fine recruiting.

You aren't gonna immediately clean it up in recruiting in 3 months time at a non-blue blood. Ain't happening. These guys did well to finish recruiting for this past cycle and you think you guys could give them the benefit of the doubt after less than 90 days of them been together.

Cannot disagree.

No.. That's his HS ranking. H was a high 4 star on ESPN and ranked the 46th best player in the nation.

247Sports had him ranked as the second-best strong-side defensive end and the 18th-best overall recruit in its composite rankings.

I think many of us will remember that Jones was a 2-star for most of his HS senior season and didn't get bumped up to a 5-star until very late in the recruiting process.

Let me speak slowly here. Rankings change. He was unranked then a 2 star when we offered him. That changed when everyone found out about him.
