The one thing we gotta give credit to is that it doesn’t seem like recruiting is dipping right now.

And it won't. This is what Mario does.

His first year at Oregon was 2018. They weren't very good...an 8-4 regular season, they had some decent wins, but a blowout loss to a bad Arizona team, barely escaping a below .500 ASU team at home, a really boring bowl game (although they did win). And he went out and signed the best class since *checks notes* ever. #7. Best class in the history of the school, by several spots.

I'm not saying there won't be some decommits. There may be a couple. But this is going to be a very good class when the ink dries. He is quite literally one of the best recruiters on the entire planet, he has the infrastructure surrounding him to compete in this changing NIL landscape, and he will use the struggles to his advantage, to be honest. "We NEED you. Look how quickly you can come in here and play. This last guy had no clue what he was doing. This is The U, you can come in right away and compete for a starting spot. 10% of this roster are my kids, I don't have any ties to any of these dudes. Come put them on the bench." etc. etc. etc.

If Cristobal lands him, then I don't give a **** about this lost season. Cristobal is getting paid a gazillion dollars because of his supposed recruiting prowess. This is where he can prove whether he's worth the money. I'll even be willing to believe that Cristobal can be a hybrid of Butch Davis and Larry Coker- An elite recruiter who can build a team with so much talent that even he cant f#ck it up.

Somewhat agree. I won’t forget about the L’s and the fashion in which we took them but I do agree about the main reason why most were excited about him and that’s because of his ability to load this roster with high end difference makers. Mauigoa and Okunlola types in one class have only been done at UGA, Bama, and Stanford like 5+ years back. It would def ease some pain, but gotta finish. I don’t think we are in the clear here yet, especially considering how the season has gone.

no way they start true freshman OL,especially early on 5* or not.They probably go in the portal and grab a couple starters and let the youngsters ease in slowly.

I can see Francis starting at guard exp if he early enrolls. But you're right prob want some transfers at tackle.
