The mythical great golden leviathan.What is this magical marine mammal you speak of?
I probably should be quoting Dude on this, but with the portal being what it is, would it not be less risky to try to maintain what we have and even reach a little from a perception standpoint? I think back on guys like Sledge and a few others in that 2005 class that were gone within a year or so, but helped the appearance that we were gaining immediate traction under
Meyer. Feels like the slower approach and the way the class falls back could hurt us much more so than having a few bodies that maybe don’t pan out and can be portaled out in a few years. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s making me nervous.
I’d pump the brakes on any recruiting enthusiasm right now. I think we’re gonna be shocked at how few we sign on ESD and we’ll try to get some guys late and through the portal. Expect more attrition from this class and few flips. He laid it all out there in his presser he’s going to take his time hiring staff and recruiting. He’s not gonna sign guys just for class ranking. We’re gonna end up with a very small class I think.
The guy sounded pretty genuine in his press conference when he said he's building a culture here. Him not taking on guys that he doesn’t think will pan out may truly be his plan. Maybe the days of taking non qualifiers , bad fits and other risky players for the sake of boosting our recruiting rankings is over?I probably should be quoting Dude on this, but with the portal being what it is, would it not be less risky to try to maintain what we have and even reach a little from a perception standpoint?

QB Nick Evers decommits from the Florida Gators
Yeah its going to be a VERY small class and ranked in the 50s it looks like. ROCK BOTTOM for recruiting. Idk when we were this low in the recruiting rankings. The portal will be the only thing to save us but even then after all the transfers out, its going to be a VERY ROUGH year next year with ZERO talent on the team thanks to Mullen.
When Stricklin decided who to go after. I wanna believe, but that guy instills about as much confidence as a donkey at the Derby.When is it time to start panicking?
When he said “I’m going to be honest, we may only have a handful of guys that choose to sign”, I was thinking yea Nick Evers and a few others. This is going to be a ghost town.When is it time to start panicking?
