Sofla, didn't we go through this roller coaster with McElwain and Mullen, until both just stopped giving a schit.... Two years out, this is going to be a the greatest class ever, A year to signing, Look we are top 3 look at all the dudes that want to come here. Half-way through the season when they are really paying attention to the product on the field, we are still going to be top 5. After the season, well fuch top 20 again. We are going to be on this roller coaster for damn near a decade.
We keep on hiring the same type of jabronie and expecting different results. We might as well sign URG to be the basketball teams center, Sluggo to choose the female cheerleaders, and you to lead the anger management classes. They are about the same level of management failure.
Yes, but what actually makes this one worse is that in both of those cases the classes fell apart largely because the head coach at that time was being fired. It wasn’t going to be all world in either case, but It’s hard to say what would’ve stuck had wholesale changes not been made. I said a few pages back this is much closer to the ‘14 class where one by one all our big name players slipped away because of the disaster we’d put on the field. But even there I think we ended up higher than we will this go around, mostly because of the late flips of Powell and the completely unexpected Tabor flip from Arizona after his grandmother protested at the distance. I don’t see that happening this time. The fact that a coach is being retained and this is happening is almost unprecedented. But again, I’m not sure how much it matters who you land if you can’t keep them on campus. Contrary to the repeated posts of the last 24 months, there will be no “setting up the next guy”. Those days are over as the last week has born out.
