Two things can be true at the same time. Kirby is an elite talent evaluator, which is one more reason why I wouldn't trade him for any coach in the country. And this is also true…

I agree for any coach not named Kirby. He’s the exception.

I don't follow recruiting, haven't in a long time. But I do understand we usually end up near the top somewhere. 2hat schools are paying the most? Notre Dame? Texas Tech? Texas?

One of the position coaches goes to church with me. He was talking about his weekend's recruiting visits and how greedy these HS kids are. Said he lost his temper on someone but didn't say who it was. The implication was HS recruiting is going to take a back seat to the portal once Kirby's current team moves on.

Does it? So sorry. Your reply leads everyone else who agrees with me to believe that I hurt the feelings of a sucker who donates money to mercenary teens and gets nothing in return except shite talking to rival fans rights and commemorative merchandise (that you also pay for.)

Nah, I don’t think I will. You’re worrying about things you shouldn’t worry about. We’ve taken more diamonds in the rough and turned them into draft picks.

I’m not sure Kirby himself would tout his history as a case of “doing more with less.” No one has spent more time and resources chasing and signing 5*s than he has with the exception of Nick Saban.

I’m not saying they necessarily less talented but more like hidden talent. They just haven’t been identified by the recruiting services
