This is not your best moment.
And yet it is true.

Not really. More than half the engineers I know over-complain. Your statement is elitist and unnecessary when we’re already having a hard time getting people to go to games. Calling them out, telling them they suck and separating them out like you’ve never done any unnecessary complaining is a douche move.And yet it is true.
Look who's looking at a single data point now.That doesn’t really conclude that recruiting is the reason for their win/losses. Texas A&M this year is a simple example.

And redefine recruiting beyond Twitter handles focusing on your own shoes and actually work to spot talent better or find and empower staff that excel at rating talent properly.Please add, recruit,recruit,recruit !!!
Or how bout we stop making labels like engineers vs sidewalks and ööööting on the sidewalks.If the description doesn’t fit then they shouldn’t take offense. If it does fit, they should get with the program.
It suffices for discrediting that a Top 15 (5, actually) class with no other considerations is somehow a key indicator of W/L three years later.Look who's looking at a single data point now.

So basically West Side Story?I have a gangs of new York at the tailgate thing going on in my head right now
Oh no they are dancing, it's a bollywood version
Wait this is actually really good
We were looking at 2018 they weren't top 5 then. They were the 17th or 23rd class.It suffices for discrediting that a Top 15 (5, actually) class with no other considerations is somehow a key indicator of W/L three years later.

Excuse meWe the Native Engineers, the true sons of Dodd, don’t welcome you sidewalk scum. We shall battle you on the bridge of 5th street and losers will leave forever.
We the sidewalk army of the Dead Possums accept your challenge.
That’s why I said this year, because I knew they missed a bowl and had a top 5 class from Jimbo buying players a few years back. That was the extent of me caring without actually digging up other examples, and you gave me the liberty to do so. I’m not sure why you’re returning back to 2021 which had even more anomalies than usual like COVID seniors.We were looking at 2018 they weren't top 5 then. They were the 17th or 23rd class.
Again you got on to me because you claimed I used only one recruiting cycle and that was bad because it was only one data point ( even though it included number 16-50 schools).
You then used one team's single recruiting ranking to refute my point.
21 was used because that is enough time to have young recruits come in and develope so they are upperclassmen (with respect to the 2018 class ranking).That’s why I said this year, because I knew they missed a bowl and had a top 5 class from Jimbo buying players a few years back.

Looping back around before this goalpost tangent: the metrics refute claims that recruiting was worse post-PJ. Average player ranking, total team ranking, rankings for comparable class sizes. Arguing the meaningfulness of the rankings is a separate discussion that doesn’t refute it.
I refuted clear misinformation. Because you can’t deny the recruiting rankings, you attempt to discredit them with some multivariable outputs like W/L (and now draft picks lol).21 was used because that is enough time to have young recruits come in and develope so they are upperclassmen (with respect to the 2018 class ranking).
Your claim: that recruiting improved over the previous staff. (Side note: 7 guys in the NFL from this past draft, most from the previous staff btw).
My claim: while recruiting rank and average player rank may have increased, it was not significant enough to make a difference on the field.
You then said:
"I don’t really care if you discredit the rankings. Excuse away. But the numbers are what they are and they aren’t particularly close."
Hence I showed you with about 50 times worth the number of data points you showed why recruiting outside of the top 15 is pretty meaningless when it comes to wins and losses.
Please show me how this is clear misinformation.I refuted clear misinformation. Because you can’t deny the recruiting rankings, you attempt to discredit them with some multivariable outputs like W/L (and now draft picks lol).
Oh, and yeah for comparable classes under 20 commits being ranked 44 instead of 60-70 is pretty sizable.
Please show me how this is clear misinformation.
“This Interviewer”? Is the same guy who does the play by play and has interviewed key for every Wednesday show.Did anyone else feel this interviewer had some weird energy? And CBK did not seem to be feeling it. Maybe partly to do with the music that was playing for the whole thing for some reason.
