There’s no excuses that’s just one of the issues when you don’t play that game. That said If a kid doesn’t pick UM it’s a loss.
People are so stuck on last year they can’t see straight. Last year the stars aligned minus DT. Majority of our highly rated recruits were right around the corner like Img, SFla or in state. Mauigoa, Mcclain , Bain , Fletcher ,Riley Williams , Wayne , Ray Ray ,Robby ,Stafford , Brown , Malik Bryant etc. So minus Okunlola and Popo who did we go steal from all the big boys last year ? Out of state battles. I mean y’all say we were balling so hard and now we have nothing ? We’ve been in it for **** every elite recruit on the DL this year and made a lot of top threes , while being “ broke “.
What’s funny our DT recruiting was god awful last year too but y’all leave that out of the “ we were balling so hard last class “ debate.
Fact is this is the first time in forever we went full on big fish hunting for majority elite guys and we’re getting our asses kicked. That’s just how the game works sometimes. National recruiting for the most valuable position in CFB and only focusing on the elite is a hard battle. Especially when there’s only so many dancing bears on the planet .
I think we get some dudes before the class is finished but to get this thing going you need to show some life on game days.
Now everyone can get back to their temper tantrums.
