What's going on is we're getting our asses TOTALLY dominated in recruiting. Last year could be dismissed as an outlier. This year can not.
They've got 6 4*s in the boat. They've got 14 4*s and 3 5*s officially visiting BEFORE we've got our first OV of the year -- all of which they think there is some remote shot at -- and after last year, who can blame them. They are expected to get 4 more 4*s -- and that's with an average "close" -- not a rockstar close like they had last year.

Yes -- they are cheating. Yes -- they are being investigated. Yes -- they are going on probation with us. And yes -- they are recruiting at a level that, if sustained, puts them very close to the elite teams in our conference from a talent standpoint as soon as next season -- and certainly by 2015.

The sooner we face that reality, and come up with a gameplan for countering it, the better off we will be. I think "my" gameplan is pretty obvious at this point...
