liked for the editI apologize in advance because I respect you and your posts, but there is no scenario where anybody would have both kidneys removed and be sent home. Not here, not in any country in the world. It just is not possible.
EDIT: I am leaving the original post as a cautionary tale, but I must apologize for this post. I clearly had one too many holiday celebration beverages. First, while it is unusual for somebody with two non-functioning kidneys to be sent home, it is not impossible. Second, regardless of that, I should mind my own business. Sincere apologies to SweetasSoda.
He's a DB being coached by one of the best DBs ever. If it were any other position, I'd probably agree on the development argument, but I think Coach Prime can develop a DB.Will it be worth it in the long-term? I'm sure the $ didn't eclipse what others could offer by a enough to sacrifice playing p5 ball. Now he's at a program with lesser facilities, less experienced coaches, and playing against inferior competition.
His development will suffer, compared to his peers at bigger programs and it could ultimately cost him many more millions in the long-term.
So down the stretch we came in 2nd on all of these guys?:
Tolan (LSU)
West (FSU)
Nolen (A$M)
Agu (Vandy (!!) )
Gilbert (Auburn)
Scott (Auburn)
Jones (Michigan)
Igbinosun (Ole Miss)
Pearce (we are 2nd to “seeing what else comes along before NSD”)
Probably others I am forgetting
And we hit on only Webb (ECU), J Williams (WVU), and D Williams (Houston); and maybe flipped a Tulane commit in Jacas (assuming we can hold off mighty Illinois).
I like the guys we got, but we just flat out failed to close in a meaningful way. The guys we got were not being heavily recruited by SEC level programs, the guys we failed on were. Frankly, we simply did not recruit at the standard that is required.
There can be no sugar coating failing this badly down the stretch, especially with the positive momentum we had throughout the season.
CJH must make changes immediately — whether on his staff and/or in his recruiting philosophy. Recruiting at a high level in the SEC is blood sport. We have demonstrated down the stretch that we aren’t prepared to win these tough fights.
