Monty Adams has huge expectations. Gabe Wright has expectations.

Gabe was not even a top 100 player though let alone a 5 star. People around AU expect him to be great and be All SEC level but outside of AU I didn't realize he had huge expecations

He had the unfortunate spotlight of being the guy coming in to "replace" Fairley. He didn't help matters by playing it up himself and bringing a bit more attention. The former happens to a lot of recruits, the latter put it in focus. Marvin Shinn was talked up within the Bama fanbase as "Julio's replacement", and that certainly didn't happen.

Different reasons in relation in to their expectations, and Adams' bar might be set higher due to being highly touted out of HS.
