re: Official 2018 Recruiting Thread

At the end of the day this is Jimbo day 17 and Brewster day 7, and we have no defensive staff at all. And outside of one bump in the road with Brown, the entire class is still on board and we have addressed a big need at TE. We are going to flip a DT from Oregon as well.

This ain’t Kirby Smart two years into his program and heading into the playoffs folks. This is 20 days. I would have loved to have seen a bigger bump from the hire, but I can’t really say it’s some black mark on Jimbo to have held the entire class together and flip a needed TE and likely a DT with only an offensive staff.

Trust me when I say he is going to hire some stud defensive recruiters and I have every expectation that we pull in the majority of in-state talent next year as well as some eye-opening out of state commitments. But this year it’s probabky best not to have unrealistic expectations for a half-completed staff to swoop in and flip some five stars. Mullen did it at UF, but the secret is that guy was already wanting to go to UF and Mullen just had to not frick it up.
