you think an 18yr old doesnt know the difference between Miami and South Carolina even if they've never been?? Your perceived logic regarding Rumph and recruiting is dumb as shx
I understand why you feel that way.
But let's look at the facts. Rumph has missed on TC, Wilson, Byrd, Henderson, Jobe, Surtain - pretty much all our top targets since he has been here.
Another thing you guys forget about is the opportunity cost of having a mediocre recruiter like Rumph at DB coach. This program literally would not have won some of its championships without elite DBs (e.g. Ed Reed, Bennie Blades), I'm not sure we win in 2001 without Ed Reed.
I know it's a different era back then, but in today's environment I'm not sure Rumph has the skill set to sign a Ed Reed (who would not be under the radar today) or a Sean Taylor. And we know how much of an impact players like that can have on your program!
A moden day example is UGA. Look at the opportunity cost they had to pay by having a underskilled CB in the national championship game last year in overtime.
At the end of the day, there are just too many misses on guys at the top of your board with Rumph.
