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.

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. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
