It's the nature of their fan base. They'll always cry, be overconfident and arrogant and stumble.

I mean everyone who is a fan of a team and watched these kids make plays throughout the season are gonna want to see them getting drafted. It took my brother calling me out to realize that I wanted every cane drafted so it's just natural.
I'm confused at the nj hate tbh. Wasn't our two most talented players in the draft(njoku + muhammad) from New Jersey?
You mean Njoku and Elder who was from Tennessee
I said most talented not the best, and you are a fool if you think elder is more talented than muhammad.... get real that kid sat out a year of football and still was drafted. The saints was waiting on him for **** near 2 rounds to pick him. Elder was the best defensive player on the team last year but he wasn't the most talented. If Muhammad would have played last year he would have been a top 2 round pick

To be fair; that's pretty much the stereotype of the current Cane fan

Great now broke is comparing WR's to DE's....
broke has a hard time accepting that he isn't wanted everywhere
Broke, does you degree require statistics? God I hope so! Njuko is a terrific player out of the not so many terrific ones NJ produces. Not sure if he would be considered an outlier, but I wouldn't make a habit of recruiting NJ kids..
Western Michigan's WR went in the first round. I doubt they'll become a pipeline to the NFL any time soon.

A little off topic, but speaking of rivals melting down over recruiting:
I just went to the VT 247 board to see where they are at post spring practice. And their fans are having a meltdown. They want every coach outside of Fuetne that was brought over from Memphis, fired. Best line re: Penn State taking all the recruits VT wants:
"Penn State must think VT is 9 year old boys because they're raping us"

Those coaches don't have the same recruiting ties coming from Memphis. VT needs coaches with serious pull in the DMV and down in Hampton Roads. Imagine the issues at UVA where that coach brought his staff from BYU. They just don't have the same expectations and zealot levels at UVA. At VT, the fanbase are animals.A little off topic, but speaking of rivals melting down over recruiting:

That's what happens when you hire a coach that has a good season at a school like Memphis....ypu need to give those guys a few years to see what they can do or was it just 1 year catching lightning in a bottle so to speak.
We went after Golden and Maryland went after Edsell and look at the results both schools got.

Fuente came into VT with questionable recruiting coming from Memphis. First, I believe a reason he went to VT and not to a school in the southeast was because he didn't want to dig in in recruiting against SEC and ACC schools. I forgot what exactly he said but it oozed assness. Not to mention his last year at Memphis he was still playing multiple walk-ons. Group of 5 team or not, you shouldn't be playing, and relying on multiple walk-ons in your two deep.

Memphis is also a lot easier to recruit. People think because Memphis sucked at the end of West's tenure and with the coach after him, it was a horrible job. But they are centrally located in a prime southern area. They have an international airport right in their backyard. Getting talent there to compete in the AAC is very easy at Memphis.
You have to work for it in VA. The state doesn't have a strong college football following and the population is very transient , so there is no local pressure to stay. Teams like Penn State have a huge presence in the mid-Atlantic. And Blacksburg is so far away and isolated, you don't feel like you're in VA. My father has lived in VA for years and still calls it "that school in Norfolk," because it's so far away, that he just thinks of a city far away. Once you go 4 to 6 hours away to school, you might as well keep going until you hit Clemson or FSU or an SEC power. And there's talent in the state for sure. But it's not so overflowing with 4 and 5 star players that you can have a 40% hit rate and expect to challenge the national powers, which is what VT fans demand. The evidence is clear: you need a top 10 recruiting class to win a national championship. VA will provide you just enough talent to have that, IF you can lock it all down.
All in all, it's a difficult job.
