Was Elko not a good recruiter while he was here? I just don’t see how we’ll drop massively in recruiting. Top 5 would be pretty rare but if Elko can manage 9-10 wins next season (tall task around here I know) I just don’t see us landing outside the top 10-12

Also the way the portal works now and his early willingness to use it you can reload a roster in one off season to make up for that level of recruiting. I’m not saying it’s going to be all sunshine and rainbows but this idea that it’s all doom and gloom is unfounded currently. New HC, new staff, new era. I’m in the wait and see camp

I’ll take the flip side of this.

We are coming off another season of starting ranked top 25 - finishing unranked. We fired the coach that we gave a ridiculous amount of money and a plaque for an undated National Championship. Much of our talent - and certainly our depth - has high-tailed it out of town. “Seen ‘em win, seen ‘em lose, never seen ‘em quit”? Can’t say that anymore. We are the poster child for pissing away money, talent and fan support.

We are in a conference with its shiny new toys - Texas with a Big12 championship and CFP appearance - OU with a 10-win season - both firmly entrenched in our recruiting backyard and far ahead of us in the rankings.
Georgia, Bama, LSU, Mizzou, Ole Miss coming off 10+ win seasons. Three of them with NCs in the last few years, one with the top recruiting class in the nation and at least in the convo for a NC next year.

We are at the kiddie table. Hoping Arky, Miss State, Auburn and Vandy keep us out of the cellar. “8-4” isn’t an insult - it’s an objective.
