@Brooklyndee not sure if it's been asked but how dialed in is the coaching staff to what programs/kids are involved in bags, and how much of that knowledge goes into their evaluations/recruiting strategy? Do they have or are they developing a plan to recruit with such a competitive disadvantage? Just want to be able to remain somewhat optimistc.Im gonna leave it at people really dont understand richt... hes got this image people think of when it comes to him that is SO FAR OFF... the man is a savage! I had respect for the man before because we have mutual acquaintances. But now that ive got to know him i love this man. There is several coaches who could be better for us but we say that because we dont comprehend the network behind these coaches. Coaches are made by their staffs and their networks. The elite coaches arent a possibility for us not only financially but because our network wontbdo the same for saban that bamas will or urbans will or tom hermans etc. Thats why i respect the **** out of the pattersons and d'antonis because they do it right year after year. We had things lined up to close to an omg level last year. What u got to realize though is that the powerhouse programs with deep pockets they have a different level they take it too once they see what position they are really in. We can have whatever kid loving us,giving us a silent etc mid season. But **** changes real quick when these squads start throwing out 6 digits,houses,high paying jobs,cars for everyone etc. We cant match that. For the people who dont comprehend that im sorry but youre not a realist and you dont understand this is a HUGE business. These kids are highly paid employees and just like in all other big business its a war for the sought after youngins. Our staff is beasts. Give them their just due.
