And now we know why you arenā€™t a D1 head coach. You are going off of NFL drafts which is useless. An elite RB would make this offense lethal. Look at the teams recruiting this guy. The best of the best. Why? Because elite RBs are ALWAYS highly valuable. OSU had 2 elite RBs and look what they did.

I'm assuming money is finite. If we have unlimited funds then go ahead of get the best at every position. The reason NFL teams have the philosophy they have is because they are limited by the salary cap so they have to prioritize their funds accordingly.

I would rather see us try to land an elite WR or 2 elite pass rushers or an elite tackle instead of an elite RB. We can find better value with less heralded RBs than we can by trying to bring in lower ranked receivers, pass rushers, or lineman.

Obviously the staff sees it differently or they wouldnā€™t be recruiting him hard.

I actually like how our staff prioritizes recruiting. Look at all our 5-stars. They're almost all at premium positions like QB, WR, OT, and D-Line. We've not landed any 5-stars at RB, LB, or DB. I personally would like to see us get some 5-star DBs but otherwise I think we've been smart in who we go all-in for. We went all-in for Nico and Faizon. Which makes sense cause there's nothing more important than getting your guy at QB. We got Mike Matthews and are now going all-in on Tristan Keys. Then there's David Sanders and Jordan Ross/Isiah Campbell.

We're wisely targeting 5-stars at QB, WR, offensive tackle, and edge rusher. Those are the most important positions when it comes to getting 5-star players.
