Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 3878411, member: 5037"] You also just have to remember how awful and lazy ESPN is with recruiting. They just pay attention to what schools are recruiting someone, give them an eye test here and there with compilation videos, and wing it. Nobody cares enough to actually hold anyone to a high predictive standard. So, with ESPNs agenda against us and our slump under the late Ollie years, the players we recruit will not be ranked as high as they once were when we were dominating the BE and winning a championship every 4 years. Maybe that will change, but who knows. While I’m sure, with ongoing success, Hurley will start recruiting higher-ranked players, he may be one that just likes to stick with 40-75 ranked guys who will buy into his system/intensity and not just look to chill on a college campus for 6 months before collecting a check.
