I'd say it's more of the latter than the former. He'd have many more draft picks if it weren't for the mass exodus of players post-Pruitt. We should be fine in the coming years considering the talent we have now: Pearce (should be a 1st rounder), Sampson (whose game translates very well to the...

I'm gonna assume you aren't simply being willfully obtuse and offer that there's a SLIGHT possibility that there are other factors student-athletes (who are obviously good enough at basketball to be recruited here) consider in their choice than just "learning basketball".

How is it a shame? Not sure why it's a stretch to many that players leaving home, traveling miles away to play at a school, would care about having someone on staff to identify with to some degree... and that parents sending their child away would want the same. Imagine the recruiting...

UConn has a black woman on the coaching staff... so what point are you making here?

If we can clean up the penalties and tackling on defense, we can get to 9-3. If the offense drastically improves, MAYBE we get to 10-2. That being said, I won't be TOO upset about 8-4... but 7-5 will be a disappointment. Another thing: I don't think what we're seeing is solely a Milton thing or...

The person we really miss is Alex Golesh. Offense just doesn’t seem nearly as prepared without him.

Can’t fix everything this fast, especially developmental positions like OL. Gotta hit the transfer portal for upperclassmen and grad transfers.

What about Kalib Perry at LB? Haven’t heard anything about how he’s progressing.

I'm excited about all the depth, especially at OL, LB, and DB. When’s the last time we’ve been 15+ deep at OL???

Offense: McCallan Castles. He’s gonna surprise a lot of people. Defense: Tyler Baron. Time to earn a draft spot.

Based on what’s come out around Frost’s firing in Nebraska, I hope we wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole.

I honestly believe it's not a depth thing anymore, aside from certain positions (RB, DB). We have a National Championship-quality offense right now. Defensively, quality is the issue moreso than depth, especially at DB.

He also had a significant leg/knee injury coming in that may have slowed him a bit, didn’t he?

I get it.. your immediate rebuff is understandable and expected. Seems like I’m saying you’re a racist, but I’m not. Sharing with you that your post can be perceived as either racist at worst or simply unaware at best. Consider that perspective or don’t.. won’t be offended either way. Anyway...

What does ONE PLAYER’S statement (that may or may not even be true, btw… he was under the influence after all) have to do with Doberman’s post making a blanket generalization of “most of the recruits?”
