This would be ideal, but realistically we probably need to come to terms that the NBE, will never be the OBE. Best thing to do is get in there and reclaim the throne, then we can shape the new identity.
easier to do if it's not continuously brought up
It appears you're looking at the composite ranking vs. the 247 ranking, not changes in ranking over time.
I've never said it doesn't matter. It's probably the 6th/7th most important thing to an average recruit. You literally think the conference a team plays in is more important to a recruit than the relationship he has with the coaches on the team. More important to a recruit than getting to the league. You're clueless.
Have to laugh that BCU gets a mention and Cuse gets nada
Please name the 5 things more important to a recruit than the conference, I’m just curious...
I didn't see any reference to Bethune-Cookman University.
Or any LSU recruits
Great point. Essentially one in the same. The odds of going to the league diminish considerably once you go down the ladder of conferences. Not saying it's impossible - just more difficult and less likely.
You think these guys going to Kentucky give a darn about who is coaching them for 1-2 years? Captain Crunch could be the coach...as long as their draft prospects are awesome, they will play at the school.
relationship with the head coach, relationship with assistant coaches, playing time, chance of winning a championship, historical prestiege of the program, proximity to home so your friends and family can see you play, illegal payments, etc.
Kentucky's recruiting immediately became 10X better as soon as Calipari took over, but sure, none of those players cared who the coach was.
