The problem is that the conclusion is lazy and doesn’t look at the facts as they happened. Instead, the conclusion was biased in a manner to fit an agenda. Curne had big offers come later and never seriously budged. That wasn’t mentioned anywhere and flies in the face of the opinion.
The problem is that you dismissed dude's poast as conjecture and opinion, but now you're arguing that his conjecture and opinion just should have been different.
The problem is you accuse someone of bias and agenda without any evidence to back up your allegation.
The problem is that the available facts are different from what you remember. Check 247sports and Rivals. Search Twitter. His best alternative offers when he committed were Oklahoma State, UCLA (hahaha) and TCU (a fine university other than its MBA program). No mentions of Oklahoma, A&M, Texas, LSU, or Illinois offering him after he committed.
Pretty sure that there was talk here of at TAMU and LSU going hard after him after he gave a verbal here ... if I’m mistaken on that then I’m mistaken
As for the other stuff, I’m not going to go splice together a proof of posts to support. I do and it gets harpooned for its length. Make it too short and the demand for proof gets called for.
The reality around here is that there is a narrative bashing seemingly EVERYTHING about the program at the moment. Then we get s 2020 kid last night that looks the part and basically commits on the spot and everybody is ready to go blow everybody.
All this does is further the narrative that most here are a bunch of fucktarded idiots that deserve to remain on the fringe. There’s absolutely a bare minimum of balance, reason, or conditioning of commentary at all. What’s comical to me is that just about at every single step of the way Pete and/or his staff has over delivered when it comes to rebounding against challenges or adversity they are facing.
You're right of course.
Which is why the "we might be better off without Lake" take was so fucking retarded.
Of course they were going to handle it, if he even ever had a bad class. Which of course he didn't.

If we're going to bash fringe, fucktarded idiots, then I'm out.

If this is really true, then I don't see how you help more than you hurt. You call other poasters fucktarded idiots. You accuse another poaster of bias and agenda without having any evidence to support your allegation. You spend a lot of your airtime on the pod bashing the program's marketing without offering solutions of your own (unless you truly believe our brand should be "WTE" and "blue collar" U?).
If Curne had bigger offers at the time, we would've never gotten him. If this kid's smart, hes doing what Mpagi did. Visit UW, talk about how much he loved it, and leverage Texas into giving him a commitable offer when he gets back.
That’s pure conjecture and opinion
There's a world that could exist

Before you go back and continue referencing comments I made on Lake last December, I heavily caveated that by saying should the class fall on its face it’s a very real set of circumstances to possibly work through. I 100% stand by the comments. Locking him in at the time as DC going forward wasn’t seen as realistic by really anybody and was in fact an aggressive response to turn the narrative on its face.
I'm picking up what you are putting down Teq. So you are saying he would have been fired if they didnt promote him to DC.
Second, I’m not one that goes off on marketing, uniforms, etc. as part of my standard operating procedure. Pepsi has a fascination regarding uniforms and Dennis goes hard on marketing. I may make a comment here and there but that’s more the exception than the rule. Go through threads on that topic on these boards and you’ll not find a lot of commentary from me.

What I said at the time, and still believe, is that there were significant headwinds regarding DB recruiting last year as other programs sold the fact that Lake was going to be a DC somewhere soon and nobody really thought it was realistic that K would step aside. If you recall, there were concerns about Hampton softening on these boards. Also, Gordon spent his own money to go to ND right before Signing Day and the trade winds on Irvin weren’t looking good.
Obviously, the headwinds were recognized by Pete and Co with K stepping aside, elevating Lake to DC, and hiring Harris as an additional DB buffet to solidify the future noise.
My whole point at the time was that IF the class last year fell flat because of the headwinds, then thinking about how to mitigate in the future would become paramount. Let me be clear that the solution that took place was ideal (other than now we need to see K really advance as a recruiter at least up to average levels).
Without going back to look at the relevant threads last year, what I for sure was saying was that steps needed to be taken to mitigate the headwinds 2 years in a row and I was definitely an advocate of using the 10th coaching position in the secondary in order to mitigate.
Unlike others, while less than ideal, I’m not distraught if you miss at a position in a single class. However, if you do miss, the pressure of landing a very strong class the next year ratchets itself up.

Dennis (think it was Dennis) thinks that resources could have been allocated elsewhere instead of lake's vector.
Although he understands the reasoning behind it. IIRC, he would have rather put more resources in defensive recruiting. Ie: bucks.

But let's lighten things up. Squirt:
Why do I have to scroll up through a bunch of tequilla nonsense to get to this critical post? Mods?
I think there's a brief glimpse of her browneye through those shorts.
I think this is a big year for both Gregory and K with respect to recruiting. BUCK recruiting is a concern and the momentum here isn’t very good at all. For Gregory, can he stack solid classes here as the upper class talent at the position leaves you wanting more.
What I think you will see going into next year as Harris gains more of a foothold is Lake to take more a lead on BUCK recruiting as needed.
This of course assumes that the staff prioritizes BUCKS ... which while they seemingly fan out offers here more than anywhere else the way the position is used in our defense I’m not sure helps us in recruiting the position.
This is a big shocker. HUGE. He was going to come up to UW this weekend, too!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
TCU knew they had to lock it down before they let him meet Jake Browning. Gotta hand it to them for turning up the pressure at the right time. We were *this* close.
If Curne had bigger offers at the time, we would've never gotten him. If this kid's smart, hes doing what Mpagi did. Visit UW, talk about how much he loved it, and leverage Texas into giving him a commitable offer when he gets back.

As long as we are ngata or bust I am fine with it. Also fine with us taking Darien chase if that was our choice over Delgado. Not sure if we are crooting him as a db though.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!! We couldn't even get him up here on his official visit four fucking days from now! Sooo we said no to Delgado, then said no to Pittman, then lose to SC for Nacua, then lose to fucking TCU for Lewis ALL in a span of three FUCKING weeks! Total shit show. Ngata is going to Clemson and we're gonna end up with Tarik Luckett or some shit Plan-D guy like that. Fire Lubick.

Good thing we offered late. Our offer meant something.
