A lot of new hire coaches are able to excel in recruiting even without the on-field results. That isn't happening. I feel expectations are already starting to get lowered for Klieman.
Jesus, Steffy. WTF are you talking about? This is the highest rated class we've had this early in the recruiting season in like 20 years.
Big 12 is still the 4th best P5 conference. We shouldn't be surprised if we lose prospects to teams from ACC, big 10, and SEC. I mean Chubba could have stayed home in a great state and play for a school with arguably the prettiest women and best party scene in the U.S. He chose Louisville (lil' bro to Kentucky) who has a first year head coach and had already received a verbal commitment from another QB recruit. Big 12 passed on Louisville during conference realignment time. Chubba understands the ACC is as high as it has ever been in athletics, and an argument could be made that they are surpassing the SEC. We probably never stood a chance.
dont agree. The ACC is nothing without Clemson. and i don't think clemson being good is elevating the rest of the league outside of other schools just telling recruits they get to play clemson.
i think the city of manhattan hurts our recruiting a little bit as there are no attractions other than the school. no night life.
i also think other schools have gone to younger coaches who always seem to excel in recruiting.
klieman is a little old compared to these young guns and although i think he's probably going to be a decent coach, i don't think he measures up in a popularity contest to the younger coaches in relating to recruits.
recruits like cocky coaches who talk a big story even if the results on the field don't match. See minnesota. see louisville. see nebraska
