He wasn't willing to do what he needed to do to get him even though at that time he would have had plenty of booster support to pull it off. And he missed on AJ Brown and you just can't do that with a prospect like that in your backyard because again he wasn't willing to play the game he needed to go it done. We had two separate seasons where we had to start a DT and a TE on the o-line because we missed on o-line recruiting. Look at how many WR's and o-linemen Dan put in the NFL compared to defensive players and running backs. And even on two of those- Martinas Rankin could have helped us in 2015 when we redshirted him when we started Warren at OT and it took until midseason of 2016 to figure out that Elgton Jenkins was one of our best o-linemen.



He didn't "ignore" it. Read my posts in this thread and I've already spelled it out very clearly. Who recruited Albert Reese the best offensive lineman in the state last year? He was able to keep Charles Cross and developed him as well. On defense he was able to land Forbes and Decamarion Richardson and basically our entire secondary in the portal and he recruited Isaac Smith, Trevion Williams, and Kelley Jones among others who are still playing and will be starters/major contributors for us this season. And our defensive line would have had major problems if he didn't add in Randy Charlton.
No offense but Reese is 2nd team now. Forbes and Decam were good college players. Cross was sorta a bust. But you only list a few players and half were just moderately successful. Add about 12 more and you got one decent team but we never had it.
