Here’s the REAL big problem with Norvell. The fans just want to say “oh he needs to recruit high school kids better and that will fix the problem”. Ok so yeah his high school recruiting hasn’t been good but you know who it’s been better than? Georgia Tech, Boston College and Memphis. Those guys don’t recruit even at Norvell’s level. Even with a bunch of 20th ranked classes, you should still be way more talented than any of those teams. Those guys can’t sniff a top 20 class. It’s not just recruiting, it’s poor player development and poor coaching. It’s like when Al Golden would lose to Virginia. He didn’t lose because Virginia recruited better players than him. It’s because he’s a ****** coach and hired ****** assistant coaches.
Fans like to think their team can get good if they just recruit a little better. The truth is, there’s teams that recruit a top 20 level and still suck and there’s teams who are nowhere near the top of recruiting rankings and they manage to win 10 games.
It’s not just that Norvell is weird and can’t recruit. It seems he can’t coach very well either.
