And to Steeler, what exactly is our “standard” in regards to recruiting? If we’re talking a 5-12 finish but it’s a “Gus” class, then I couldn’t give sh!t about missing that mark. Gus’s inability to put together a high-functioning football team, while still pulling in highly ranked classes every year, almost single-handedly caused me to COMPLETELY stop following recruiting altogether. We’ve “recruited well” and brought in “top players” for years now and have a sh!t load of 8-5 to show for it.

We both agree Gus w his poor OL recruiting, his inability to develop a HS Qb, tweaking his offense late to eventually have no offensive identity while still pulling in top 15 classes.

But if Harsin is an improvement in his offense, qb development, culture he still HAS to bring in that 5-15 recruiting classes. Period.

Referring back to Gus was never mentioned by me. I’m talking recruiting ranking history where we had some really good ones but the results in the past didn’t reflect that success.
