You're not allowed to say that here. They'll come at you with pitchforks and torches! LOL! WITCH!!!!!

So, if 247 is the only Metric, then we are 6th right now in the conference recruiting. That's not quite the hit the iceberg Titanic scenario you are suggesting, is it? Come on James, no one has their head in the sand here, of course it could be better. Had we won several more games it certainly would have helped. But to suggest that the recruiting is just terrible is a bridge to far dude. Put down the crack pipe bro.

That part! Says it all.

247 Sports is the only metric at the moment.

Top five FBS programs recruit at a rate 300 points per class.

Premier G5 programs at a rate of approximately 160 point per class.

During CBN last two years we recruited at a rate of approximately 160 points per class and we witnessed the results.

We has a current rating of 100 points.

I love CMD, but seems like we are losing the grip on recruiting top G5 talent given our resources when compared to our G5 peers.

It is Des' class, because every recruit still had to sign when he was the coach. Just like Napier's first class was 2018, with Manac, Smith, Moncrief, etc. Dubose and Edwards are still on team and, as of yet, not transferred out. I understand your position that it is Napier's class, but I disagree. Each of those recruits had an opportunity to re-open their recruiting or transfer out and so far have not done so.

Because I point out one positive fact in recruiting, you have labeled me a sunshine pumper.

No where did I say recruiting hasn't dropped off, what I said is that the four highest rated recruits were all signed or committed under Des. That number is now three with Horne decommitting. I agreed with you that quantity of quality depth of the classes has gone down.

Well, then I apologize if I misrepresented what you were trying to say.

What were our rankings in 2016 and 2017? You know the players Napier did most of his winning with?

[JamesTheJeweler]

There is a way to discuss certain topics to where you don't insult the young men who ARE willing to commit with us. Please do so.

Explain to me how I brought this up by insulting any individuals. Please do so.

He did most of his winnings with a QB that he did not recruit . .

Each recruit that is on the list of the recruiting class you are describing as an earth ending recruiting class . . . every single one of them . . .

A lot of players he didn’t recruit and without covid year would have been gone before last year. One guy who recruited a lot of them from 2016 to today is still here though.

There's no reason to start turning on each other over this class.
Are there concerning things? Yes there are.
Are there reasons to be optimistic? Yes there are.
Are most of our issues financial? Without question.

There are still plenty of things that will happen between now and NSD.
We are better off than we think. Where we were over 3 of the last 4 years? No. But we had to know things would be different.

Think about Mike's approach before we freak out. It actually makes a lot of sense. That's just my opinion at this point.

[JamesTheJeweler]

Recruiting is never about pure reality, that's why so many 5-stars die on the bench.

Do you think a single P5 tells the highschooler the truth, that he may ride the bench for 3-years, and that when he finally gets his chance he won't be as good as he was coming out of highschool?

Putting your best foot forward has always been Job#1 when it comes to recruiting.

What???? I asked you ro explain your criticism and you answered with, "don't act like the purveyor of all truth". So again, I asked you to explain how saying I felt like this recruiting class has dropped off is acting like the purveyor of all truth. I never get a straight answer. So I'm gonna assume, like many others here, that you believe this list of recruits is as good or better than those of the last few years. I also have to assume any questions or concerns about the program is considered being a negative recruiter and insulting to whom it may be concerning. So just know, I just entered yalls game. Cant wait for one of you to dare raise a concern on this board. Be on your P's and Q"s saints. The judge is here. LOL!
