I don't think many people were excited about the classes of 2008-2010. 2011 was the first class where it seemed like we got some REALLY good players. Most of those guys are RS FR this year. Lee, JHD, Golden, Greene, Waller, Laskey off the top of my head, probably missing a few. These guys are in year 2 of a system and doing okay. You don't see any diamonds in there? From last year Autry, Gotsis, and Henry are already playing, and I'm pretty sure Kallon and Thomas will be serviceable.
I think our recruiting in CPJ's first few years is why we suck right now, not the recent recruiting. There is a reason these FR and RSFR are beating out SRs to play. It's clear that we need to start relationships with these kids early on in highschool so we were at a disadvantage in the first few years. When did Gailey get good at recruiting? After he had been here for a while.
I can deal with bad seasons as long as there is hope and I have enough 750ml bottles of medicine to take care of me. We're never going to get top recruits no matter who is coach and I think we can all agree that CPJ would win a MNC with recruiting classes half as good as Bama always gets. We have to do more with less and I think CPJ is the guy to do that, I just hope we don't run him off before he has a chance to have an experienced Vad Lee led team.
