I understand why people are pessimistic about what they're reading right now. Outside of CajunT, we are criminally under informed about our recruiting process. It's a big reason why I don't follow it all that closely. One thing the previous regime was very good at was generating energy around recruiting. For many reasons, we just don't have that luxury right now. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like everything is peachy.. but it's not as bad as it seems, based on what staff and brass are saying.
Take these recruiting reports with a grain of salt until late January.
