I'm not sure if you're referring to any one poster(s) with the freak out comment, but I'm far from freaking out. Just calling it like I see it in real time. I almost always give our staff the benefit of doubt, some more outspoken critics would say undeservedly so, at times. I'm not freaking out by any means, but I think there have been enough misses to make note of, to this point. We will probably recover and sign quality players but it's hard to ignore the ones we are missing on.
Not sure. I'm not following the recruiting patterns of many other schools. Michigan State seems to be hitting on a lot of their priority guys. UK, Duke, etc. Certainly, I'm not saying I expect those type results. And I admit that when a team like Tennessee fishes in those waters, your hits are fewer and far between. It just feels like your running list is shrinking and shrinking by the day. At what point is it considered safe and reasonable to voice concern?
Those 3 schools you mentioned have all missed on some top targets this year, none are batting 1.00, with that said yes we have missed on more than they probably have, but as you mentioned that’s going to come with those waters. I know you mentioned some names last night and maybe we will just not see eye to eye on that, but just because a guy gets offered doesn’t mean they are a legitimate target. Justin Edwards, without a doubt an absolute miss. Aden Holloway sure, however a debate probably could be had about he and Demary and how/when the staff viewed those 2. Coen Carr sure, Michigan State did a nice job there closing that one it would appear. Other than that I don’t see legitimate top targets misses to this point if you’re saying top targets are guys with mutual enough interest to OV.
, also most definitely never took an OV, which again how many guys around the country commit without OV’s?
