its time to accept that being a great recruiter doesnt mean **** anymore at least this cycle. well land some top tier kids but overall, the biggest bags will win especially when you arent OSU, Bama, UGA type of a consistent winner.
Guess what happens to Breland and Stone’s bag expectations when they’re the only two left uncommitted and everyone is trying to land their services??
The best recruiter In the game is money like you said. It will be interesting to see if this nullifies Mario's one advantage over time. I know the saying is just win on here but think it needs to change to just pay.

Not mad at this at all.
Couldn't agree more
You are a quality poster but that first part continues to be parroted and its simply a revisionist view. The goal was to sign the top DL class in the country and the sources we rely on told us that it was realistic. In terms. of the money, we are all speculating and it will always be easier to admit its money and not the fact that we are failing at doing what we thought was the one thing we were going to be elite at right away and that is recruiting. Still some big time players on the board but the lineup is dwindling. Its time for Mario to do what he was paid to do here.
With all due respect to every insider here and the posters who are considered great…There has to be some level of forming your own opinion here, we have to be able to objectively see things instead of just taking someone’s word as law even tho some guys are hella reliable and smart.
We had just signed what was arguably the best OL class the cycle before. That class we signed was the best one in over a decade period where we beat out elite teams for multiple/many commits. We had some freak bad luck with Rashada and Cormani or otherwise its a top 4 class. I stand by that its revisionist to say that expectations werent to land one of if not the top DL classes in the country.
Florida bout to find out
Thats leaving out a world of context tho. We signed two of the top olineman and then after was developmental type of guys. Also the biggest difference with that comparison is we have two proven oline coaches on staff so of course we are more likely to land elite olineman way more than elite dlineman.
Especially when we are going up against elite recruiters and programs for some of these players.
I could be completely off base here, but if it’s NIL I’m guessing/gathering there’s paperwork and/or contracts in place? That’s part of why there was such a low decommitment rate last year?
