We don't have one fewer on the trail.  We are allowed to use a substitute since there is a coaching vacancy, thus Trevon Reed has been doing recruiting as that guy.

As Golf mentioned, recruiting hasn't been hurt by not having an OC.  If anything, its gotten better since Bobo left.  Harsin is an offensive guy and recruits know the type of system that will be used.

We shall see soon enough.

Please post a definition of "just fine".

Not hard to find if you look through my posts.  Been saying for a week that we'll finish fringe top 15, but definitely top 20.

It befuddles me that anyone hasn't put that dude on ignore yet.

This is so key.  We've had some highly ranked classes, but when you dig into them, a bunch of our highest ranked recruits have left after a year or two.  Recruiting rankings mean nothing if you can't develop and keep those guys on campus.

I would be stoked with that this year.

Same.  The key is really next year.  2023 is looking like a top 10 class with top 5 potential.

Anyone else heard they're supposed to announce the new OC this afternoon?  Prolly just rumor anyways.

I have considered this but would miss the entertaining lunacy of 90% of the posts. It's like eating Doritos- you know nothing good is coming from it but you just can't stop (and, yes, I just did a grave disservice to Dorito's there).

So for you, top 20, will be "just fine". That's a mighty low bar, but if it makes you happy.......

Considering:

* The staff spent the first half of the year forging new relationships under COVID restrictions,

* That portal transfers don't count towards the standings and we could very well get some immediate impact players there, and

* 2023 looks REALLY strong...

Yeah, its fine.  You want to complain?  Watch where Florida ends up this year.  Some of y'all think a program is built in a day.  It's not.  Harsin & team are apparently taking a long term approach and building this thing brick by brick.  Something we've desperately needed instead of just slapping band aids on all the time.

That one hasn't made it to advanced concepts like context yet.

I don’t think your first point has been stated enough. 

A brand new coaching staff was not able to meet any recruits face to face until July and they are very likely going to pull a top 20 class with good potential for top 15.

To spell that out for the chicken littles, that is less than 6 months. Most of these guys they are closing in on have been recruited by most every other coaching staff for years. For Harsin and co. to make as much headway as they have in that little amount of time is impressive. I don’t understand how you can’t feel optimistic about recruiting moving forward.

We're just now seeing the in home visit tweets for the first time since CBH was hired. Crazy.
