We didn't miss on Braun, he used his position to bolster his brother and families position.
For those *****ing about Beck, I said a week ago that he reminded me of Brantley 2.0 and would be a nightmare in our scheme. The kid has had something like 1 rushing TD last season. AR leaving hurts much more than this, I hope the staff tells Beck to stay at home in the future and we have the same approach that we did with the FSU kid that was begging to get in.
I tend to agree on Beck, but honestly this is a "how it looks" thing and Kirby just handed it to us again. The ONLY way to sugar coat this is to say "he's not a fit in our offense" - which is true. We need a QB in this class, and if we miss on the hometown kid (AR) there needs to be a 'come to Jesus' moment w/ this recruiting staff (i.e. get a few more coaches in here that can recruit).
As others have said, let's not panic. We've had 4 de-commits so far in this class. The true measuring stick w/ this class is going to be Bowman. If we miss on him - after signing three of his teammates in the 2019 class - it'll be a bad, bad look. In the meantime, let's land a few more heavy DL's and as many other blue-chippers as we can.
