Great quote

Yeah, but for what it is worth, I am just happy to be here. The alternative sucks.

I think we might even be over 60% at this point. Stallion probably has the exact figures.

Rivals has us at 52% (11 out of 21) if I read the profiles correctly. We're averaging 1 (well, 1.38) P5 offer per player (29 offers over 21 recruits) which is probably an amazing improvement over recruiting under he who shall not be named.

Scout is reporting P5 offers for Joshua Shelmire and Braxton Webb that aren't listed on Rivals for some reason. That site has us at 62% (13 out of 21).

The correct number is 62%-Rivals is not doing a good job of updating offers even when confirmed by several first hand sources.

I get the haters on a certain coach but he was a good coach and really helped our program. He went a little bat s crazy towards the end not wanting to be here or just wanting to retire. Can't we let it go? I saw Craig James in the airport and he told me JJ wanted to retire before last season and we begged him to stay. So maybe it is our own fault?

Bat sh*t crazy.......great description of James

June was just arrogant and aloof with an out of date offense.

"Begged him to stay" = Wouldn't buy out his contract.

before I could make the same post.

There might be several threads about the general feelings regarding JJ that would be expressed on this board had he hung it up at the end of the 2013 season.

As things are it seems clear he had a couple million reasons not to do so.

Since we were stuck with him - i think it was more like begging him to care.

Agree it is time to move on. Better times in the very near future.

I wish Craig James claimed another school
