    playing devils advocate…our team talent total on 247 sports has been pretty steady with and before Napier…not sure if his recruiting is mid but overall team talent hasn’t changed much in ten years.

    Regardless of those ranking numbers, you and I both know that some of those years had a lot of talent that we got, and some of them had almost no talent that never ever did anything for us.
     
  4. The other side of the coin is CBN did bring in Lagway (who loves him for some reason)...I believe at this point that most kids don't want to come to a losing program (which is what we have been with CBN unfortunately) because they have so many other options these days...We need to keep Winning.

    On one hand, I don't know if DJ is yet making it consistently to his second read.

    OTOH, the deep ball threat (and when healthy, scrambling and designed run)...I bet that BIGLY opens things up.

    Might we actually see some slants? Some seam routes? Stuff over...wait, I remember this word, gimme a second...the middle?

    Agreed, I wish there were updates that showed ranking of who actually got admitted, who made it a year, etc.

    My impression: Mullen had a lot of NSD star numbers that never put on a jersey.
