How hard is that to understand?

This is about recruiting players. You don't have to have played football to know that the name of the game in college football is recruiting. And this staff is not participating in that aspect of the game.

gostags- I got it. Point that there are 3 FR on his list. It's easier to find 3 than 25 in one year. Also, do you think that being a lower level FBS school doesn't prevent 4-5 star recruits from coming. Play at UT or SMU? Football recruiting is very difficult. I'm not defending JJ. He should be sent packing. Just no comparing golf to football. He'll, I don't see PS comparing the Equestrian team to football.

I agree with 25 is hard to find for us, but we would easily settle for 3-4*s and 12-3* and the rest can be whatever

In football, you get 2-3 good ones and you get what you have now. Try turning a program around with 2-3 recruits. Delete this thread for stupidity.


And I suppose you will say the same about our bball team and LB since they have substantially less than 85 players.
In real estate it is location, location, location. In college sports it is recruiting, recruiting, recruiting.
