So are we.They also are in the middle of one of the deepest talent pools in the country.

I don't understand the doom and gloom? We knew we wasn't getting smith and Harris. Brown was a surprise but nobody was crazy excited about him anyhow. The good news is we might still be in it with pinder.
Than no English speaking American would live in.
scUM has zero facilities.

We really can't have it both ways. If facilities are truly an issue, which has been said for years... then I don't know how you expect to sign top 3 classes. That's Jeremy Foley type thinking. That's "we're Florida, we don't need no stinking facilities" thinking. Dan needs to make upgrades to the staff, no doubt. We all want and expect great. We want top 3 classes every year. I just don't think we can reasonably expect top 3 classes until the decade late facilities are done or at least started.A good salesman that can display a vision of the future to kids, will be able to get around that. Facilities are a plus, and I'm not knocking facilities being an issue... but great recruiters can recruit with average facilities.
Of course they can.The two factors can coexist.
I really don't have any issues with our defensive recruiting this cycle but man our offensive recruiting is horrid.
My concern is that we lose a ton of players at receiver and running back and not only are we not filling it with ****ty 3 star guys but we aren't evengetting anyone to fill it

Either facilities are a detriment or they aren't. We've been saying FOR YEARS they were and that it was hurting our recruiting. Now the narrative is changing. It makes no sense. If Dan pulls in say 8th or 9th ranked classes without them, I feel pretty certain he'll be able to pull, at least top 5 classes with them. He's not an elite recruiter. Unfortunately, he's just not. But he's a damn good football coach. I like our odds if he's able to start pulling top 5 classes. The problem is, he may not last that long. We need those damn facilities yesterday...And he needs to hire him a couple ace recruiters...and correct the Knox hire. That may have been his biggest mistake of his tenure so far. We lost an ace recruiter and coach for friggn Knox... smh...

Dwag Christian Robinson hasnt landed an ILB in three fvkking years.ILB recruiting is a dumpster fire. Seeing how many times David Reese saved our asses this season makes this sort of **** unfathomable. .
Congratulations to Burch's future coach, whoever it is next year.Dang, Muschamp got a 5* today?
ILB recruiting is a dumpster fire. Seeing how many times David Reese saved our asses this season makes this sort of **** unfathomable. Other positions came out alright.
WR and RB recruiting were shockingly bad this cycle. No excuses. Pray we get Manuel in ....
As others have said, Knox at the very least needs to go, but probably won’t.
There isnt much left now. Even most of FAUs trash has signed.This is ESD, not NSD. Those spots will get filled. Whether or not they'll be 3* guys and fall-backs is yet to be determined(though likely).
