re: So, are we doing better with recruiting under CBB?

I think the other part is an inability to get our top talent ready to be a major early impact. Our juco guys almost never work out year 1 so they're always at best a 1 year player.

Agreed.

I remember back in 2013 Bert had a pretty good JUCO haul with John McClure, Myke Tavarres, and Spaight, all three of whom were JUCO All Americans. McClure and Tavarres never saw the field and busted out, and Spaight wasn't ready to play until his second year on campus. If all three of those guys had been day 1 ready, we probably wouldn't have been starting freshmen on the offensive line or trotting out the likes of Austin Jones, Price Holmes and a freshman Brooks Ellis at linebacker that year.
