I think that, when Warde hires HIS coach, player recruitment will be one of the facets in that coach's resume. He will look at that coach's recruiting pipeline & his results at getting his targetted player signed. The other factor in recruiting will be that coach's ability to assess players' talent & how it will project at the FBS level.
This is part of the due diligence process.
Yup - that's what the process should be - I agree.
Let's keep our fingers and any other body parts crossed that the process is actually seen through properly, and it yields and effective result.
What has me hopeful, that it can be a good process, and lead to something good, is that any candidate that is identified, can look at the game film, and see right away, that this team has potential - NOW - and that if you can generate success quickly, the recruiting rebuild process will be that much easier.
To be perfectly honest, the hiring process in January 2011, was a clusterflub, but at that time, we didn't have the kind of roster that was very attractive either. We have some good young players, and a couple of returning players for next year that will be seniors, that are very attractive now.
We need to recruit like hell on the offensive line. That is the only problem, that when I look at this team, is not a 1 year turnaround kind of fix at this point. I hope that we can hang onto the OT that's at Milford right now, and that he's the kind of guy that can play right away in the fall, and that our young players that have made the two deep this year, turn out to be players.
