This will be the biggie for me how do they respond is everything! Will we keep what we have. Will whom ever the coaches are will they pull some of their recuits with them? Lets face it! Given what I've seen on this board so far and meaning no disrespect to anyone about half will say "We're Saved!" and about half will say "Were Doomed!" So excited to see the feelings from recruits about the eventual hire! GOOO VOOLLLSSS!
it is on him to prove it. if he can get at level here I will gladly eat crow, but Bama and saban recruited those guys.You are grossly underestimating the name brand that Jeremy Pruitt has amongst recruits.
He has 3 national championships to his credit, has twice been a finalist for the Broyles Award for nations top assistant, and has been the primary recruiter for 5* players Matthew Thomas, Derrick Henry, Jalen Ramsey, Eddie Williams, Mack Wilson, and TJ Yeldon, in addition to 4* players like Reggie Ragland, Demarcus Walker, CJ Mosley, Ryan Anderson, DJ Pettway, among others.
Suffice to say, Pruitt is very visible in the recruiting world and has twice won the award for nations top recruiter.
You can dislike the hire, but at least make a compelling argument.
Recruits will know who Pruitt is. That's not what worries me. The question is who among them will believe he's the answer? I'm not sold on him, so how can I expect that they will be. Defensive guy who's never been a HC, no staff in place, how does that sell Cade Mays or any offensive recruits to come back or stay with us? We're still very much a program in turmoil and Pruitt really does nothing to stabilize that, imo.
If JP is our coach Cade WILL BE HIS FIRST CALL outlining EVERYTHING INCLUDING who his staff will be. Kevin knows exactly whats going on believe you me!!!!!
