Oh man this thread. had we gotten Mason, Winkle, Smith, etc everyone on here would be saying "see how good at recruiting JoMo is? This class has no duds in it at all- all these guys JoMo got have the chance to play. That's how you build a championship team! JoMo definitely going to clean up next year, look at all these SEC battles he's winning!". And you know what? I, vv83, and 7 would probably agree. In fact, anyone saying the sample size was too small to say JoMo is a great recruiter would be called out for always looking for the negatives...

But now that those guys ALL flipped/chose other SEC teams, suddenly they are no better than the next guy on the board/who cares about the bottom of the class anyway?/none of them would have ever contributed/there's always some reason they went elsewhere that takes the blame off the staff/(my personal favorite) "I literally don't care" about the flips because we've already gotten some good players at the top of the class. And anyone drawing conclusions about the staffs' recruiting abilities is jumping the gun and "melting". Hell, anyone even saying the current trend is less than ideal are being attacked.

The hypocrisy is unreal. I agree it's too early to draw conclusions... but to act like these guys don't matter is insane. of course they matter. To act like the next guy on the board is jut as good is insane. To act like loosing recruiting battles doesn't even hint at a possible problem is insane. To act like good WR's means we don't need a secondary is insane. And that's what I'm seeing here, when we all know the "reactionary' logic being used against the new staff is the EXACT same logic wed use to pump them up if these battles were going our way. I'm pretty new here, but these mental hoops to some of you are jumping through makes me concerned for your safety
