The original post I quoted stated matter-of-factly that we should now be outrecruiting Clemson. Dress that up however you want. I just don't think we should suddenly be expected to flippantly overtake them for a top-5 player they've been in the top-2 for for a while, now. Sorry that isn't the rosiest picture of things, but perception in college football doesn't often change overnight. It's the same concept (in reverse) that explains why we were still able to land some high-profile players in the midst of a decade of dysfunction and losing.
