Sorry for the stupidity, man. I just have never kept up with recruiting that closely. I realize that it is the lifeblood of the program, I just never have gotten into the ratings etc. I've always just waited to see what our class is ranked and who the standouts are supposed to be. I know that usually we have several 4 star players in each class and I was beginning to wonder if that was gonna happen this year.
I realize it's tough when you're 2-6. That being said, everyone says we're 2-6 because of a lack of talent, which I agree with. I just don't want the situation to perpetuate.
You're not being stupid; the claims of our VN "experts" are. Fact is Dooley has offered 100 of the top 250 players and almost all (save 2 currently) said no thanks so far. According to the VN experts, after those players turned us down, our VN "experts" did the same lame "we didn't really want them anyway" claim every fan whose team loses out on a recruit does.
