Resetting expectations

    For the record, I think it's clear that this year's staff turnover has lost us substantial recruiting ability, and I'm very skeptical we gained a commensurate amount talent development skills in return. I am on board that we need to upgrade Bob and Bonerpopper's positions with top-tier recruiters (potentially Harris too). I just didn't buy the argument that we were failing when we were pulling in classes that put our blue chip ratio above 50% for the first time ever. Manu wouldn't have gotten a sniff in any of the last 4 classes.

    While we could have improved a bit, I think we were relatively close to the peak of our recruiting ability with the '18-'20 classes. Without an amazing crop of in-state talent like this year, ending up somewhere in the 10-15 range is what should be expected on an annual basis. Never below 20 and occasionally top 10 when the stars align.

    perfect example was Kyler Manu. But bobby greggers was more than happy to trot out there
    And this is Exhibit A of my major concerns with what I’m seeing

    Looking at that second paragraph. Take out the word internet and I feel like you just described David Koresh.

    Development absolutely matters

    I’ve long been on record as saying the more you progress in a sport the more development, the mental side, etc becomes important

    You also have to have the underlying physical attributes to get in the door though ... all the development, mental, etc is worthless if you physically can’t get the job done
    people say all kinds of stupid things and trot out virtues that they want to see and normalize.

    until there's a fire in the building and you're caught on your balcony facing a 50ft jump onto concrete or death by smoke inhalation and being roasted alive.

    you want that 5"3 120lb firefighter who knows exactly what to do but stuggles to drag their equipment across the block? Or do you want to see a bunch of 6'3" 235lb fit guys busting down your door to drag your ass to safety?

    the reality is that those guys are smart too and can get the job done ... the other person is just pretend.
