On another note, how is it that he gets absolutely no credit for bringing in 12 early enrollees. That is a HUGE number and it is like giving an extra star to each player in reality because early enrollment has been shown time and time again to vastly increase the likelihood that those players will make contributions on the field right away (or at least be prepared to in the case of backup QBs which we should all very much appreciate after last year!).
The EE's definitely stand out to me in that they get the kid on campus and in the program so many months earlier. I won't make a statement of the inferred star-value bump, but simply will state that it HAS to be a benefit over having kids show up in the fall having done who knows what over the summer. Though, that's my opinion. I think Mac will prove whether EE means better or not.
