2019 Recruiting Thread

[ShotgunDawg]

You just skipped the most important part of the process. You went from throwing out offers straight to signing. The key part & the part this staff in a few short months have proven they're willing to do more than the last staff is recruit better players. Anybody can throw the offer out but not everybody is willing to put in the work to get the kid. Of course signing is the most important but you can't sign better players if you don't RECRUIT better players. That's what we're trying to do.

We were so pissed when the last staff would just settle for kids they didn't have to work for & had no other offers. I saw the same thing last month when plenty on here & other msg boards were screaming let's just take "insert instate OL or RB here". Instead this staff is still looking for legit SEC caliber players. Again it's all about who you sign but continuing to try to sign legit SEC guys & not just saying oh well I can pull this kid with no effort sign him up is a step up in recruiting which everyone has been screaming about for years.

Good points & I agree with all.

I just don't like praising people until the results are in. However, it does appear as though the process is better and with more effort.

I do wonder though if Mullen's regime started off doing this before throwing in the towel when they realized they weren't landing any of the big fish they were chasing?

Does anyone remember the first few years of the Mullen era in terms of who we offered & recruited?
