You can’t control how one handles or engages any situation in life, social media may have gave this a larger platform but this has been a truth for a long time.
One thing I do think through that you highlighted with kids thinking about what school they will attend is the overall experience. It is something that matters. So it puts us in a precarious situation. The big names and higher rated players are comparing environments at SEC venues that are packed to capacity with a defined home field advantage versus what we currently are showing.
It sucks because it’s a chicken and egg situation. We don’t have a good product so you are asking a lot for fans to commit financially and emotionally, but without the environment we are costing the potential future of the program by what we currently display. It also doesn’t help when the announcers also highlight how quiet or underwhelming our stadium is to potential recruits who are not even physically there.
