Yes and some are very good----the problem has been their getting in school and being eligible--girlfriends, grades, homesick, discipline, etc----attrition to all the above reason has cost us greatly---Now this happens according to a recent topic at all schools and a sure thing---but have to give Cajun-T a lil shout out as we can follow the recruits with their leanings from the get go to the signing party in February---Its not BS hype as the ratings are nationally done so you can tell for the most part their stars---please lets not get into the star war deal!!!! lol
Aww the little butt hurt gang has arrived. Welcome ladies. I'm so glad you little gals woke up.
You are correct and here is why.
Stokley had 3,000 more athletes to cherry pick from, and 30 fewer teams to schedule against.
With Bustle it was more like 800 more players in the D1 recruiting pool and 8 fewer teams to schedule.
Right now the D1 talent poll is diluted and so is scheduling, especially in conference.
Going Independent or moving to a better conference are the only two sure fire methods to reverse the trend.
Given the numbers (approximations by the way) a 9-4 record today is just as big of an accomplishment as it would have been in the Stokley and Bustle eras.
It amazes me this dead ars horse gets beaten so much around here. TOPS is used in this manner by EVERY university in the state in EVERY program. It has nothing to do with your favorite local high school athletic star, or the "one that got away". Even if an instate player is "offered", if a player qualifies for TOPS, TOPS it is, a straight business decision.
It would have been a shame to miss out on a 'Zo Harris because a third string WR was local and TOPS qualified, and we used a scholarship instead of TOPS.
It's just that back side hurt time of year because "junior" isn't being recruited by UL.
