I know you all think Ive been negative as F8ck the last few weeks, but the truth is Ive just been trying to be realistic and keep expectations grounded.
Fact is, we have been facing some stiff headwinds in recruiting this year. Two back to back post season bans, NCAA sanctions hanging over our heads, years of mediocrity. Its not exactly easy to poach the top blue chippers when you are battling the likes of Saban at Bama, Miles at LSU, other $EC programs, or even Jimbo and all the underhanded sh*t he pulls, even for local kids.
As for me, Ive learned to approach recruiting as HOPING for the best, but expecting SOME level of disappointment and some surprises. I try to keep things in perspective and look at the big picture.
Come signing day, we are going to get a good haul of talent, and no matter WHAT happens, I think Golden and the staff have done a PHENOMENAL job in fighting a **** of a fight for some of the top players in the country. We've gone head to head with the top programs and the best staffs, and weve landed some great kids, and are going to sign some real ballers. I HOPE that we can pull in guys like Collins, Thomas and Coley, but if we just close with guys like Grace, Kirkland, and Bostwick, I still think the staff deserves a **** of an applause for a tremendous effort. Remember, WHEN we start winning, they WILL come. And we are just going to get better.
So whatever happens, happens. This program is on the rise, the mighy Phoenix is rising from the ashes. The Empire is going to strike back. Golden is the best thing that has happened to this program in over a decade, and I think we are on the cusp of greatness.
THIS is what its all about right here gents. And any kid who doesnt want to be a part of that magic, that legacy, that future... can go F*ck themselves. Any kid can go be a player at some random school for a few years, UM doesnt recruit players, we recruit immortals that will forever live THIS An elite family whose membership isnt for 4 years, its for life.
