    Pretty much, but I'm not sure Ruiz qualifies in that context.

    Although we do need the elite guys no doubt, getting a full class of 8.9 to 9.2 4* kids may be a pretty good strategy. We all know how Trask was misranked . I’m not in any way saying we can win with 3* kids but with 20+ 4’s, there’s some odds that say there will be some very talented kids.

    I tend to agree......a roster stacked with high 4 stars (assuming your evals are solid), guys that fit your system, and a happy locker room could be a very smart route in todays market

    Agree. As long as we’re using them to fill in the right places.

    Huh? I didn't say you were wrong....I said start paying for the recruits you want. The school doesn't pay nil, we do.
    The staff does a great job positioning uf with elite recruits. As you pointed out, if we lose on $$s that's on you

    Ah I see the old “blame the fans” schtick. You on the staff payroll?

    Love it. We are in the game. But he’s looking for a cormani level deal, right? What we offered the #1 CB was not enough.

    Pretty solid class so far. There’s a few more needs and we have to find that elite qb.

    What part do you disagree with? Do you not understand the NIL/$$ component? I don't blame anyone, but I find it the height of hypocrisy watching someone complaining when the ability to remedy the issue is available to them.

    He just reclassified. Can’t imagine he’ll have the credits to early enroll as well. My guess is no particular time table up until NSD.
