Leave it to the twins to have had 2 of our current captains playing out of position.

Great judges of talent, they were not.

Well, they did recruit them into the program, and it wasnt like they had a slew of offers to choose from.

So they recruited 2 players into the program, who had no big offers, and put them in the wrong position, and they get credit? Um, ok.

I guess it comes down to whether they're good players for this level. The overwhelming conclusion is they are. Obi, Jhavon, Myers, Summers.

P's problem was not recruiting.
