We have 18 NLIs in assuming Rucker is already in. If we made a new hire in the next 2 weeks, that coach would have about a month to find 7 or 8 commits/transfers to add to the current class. That’s nothing compared to having 2 weeks to put an entire class together. Last staff practically did half the work for the new guy. It would not be very difficult.. especially if we make a good hire and even more especially now that the transfer portal is a bigger deal than ever.
Let’s just say we hire Gus. He recruited over half of the recruits we have in this class so he’s probably already very familiar with them. Of the ones we haven’t signed, he already has a standing relationship with Dylan Brooks and Roc Taylor. He could convince them to stay. Both Auburn commits that didn’t sign are defensive backs, 1 of those being a hybrid LB/S guy. He could convince those guys to follow him here. Then we have 3-4 spots in the transfer portal we could use to fill certain needs whether it be corner, linebacker, and obviously another QB which he’d have no problem landing a good one
Let’s say it’s Freeze. Maybe he doesn’t hold onto the 4 remaining commits. I’m sure he would have no issue finding guys in the portal. There’s also higher ranked guys that he offered at Liberty and guys that probably would’ve wanted to play for him if he was at a better school. one of those kids is Tywone Malone. He had already recruited him pretty hard at LU but at the end of the day Liberty isn’t the same school as the other choices he had. He could continue that standing relationship here and maybe pull him. Another one in that boat is 4 star JUCO CB Jadarrius Perkins.
OK, I hate to be redundant but which of these guys has the support of enough money guys to cover all the buyouts and bring them in?
