BRYSON N!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't be researching this so anyone who wants to prove me wrong on this feel free. But historically, it would be more accurate to arrange recruiting classes in tiers than rank them numerically. Some years there's been little difference between the 18th ranked class and the 45th ranked class. We are way below Ohio State and Michigan obviously, but depending on which service you look at, we're close to everyone else. And when you consider that Rhule favors athletic, high character kids and doesn't care about how many stars are next to their name or reported offers, I like our chances.
Time will tell but I also put more faith in offering a 3 star kid without a bunch of offers in May compared to December. The staff a plan and isn't scared to offer first or early.

I'll go one further. I will take a 3 star commit over any four star December recruit who was dropped by their previously committed school. There is a reason folks.
 
Rhule believes that he can identify the right combination of raw athleticism, frame, and demeanor, even when it is undiscovered and underdeveloped. And he believes that he can then develop that raw material into impact players.

It’s bold. In addition to trust in your evaluation and your ability to develop, you also have to trust that in the NIL/free-agent world you can keep them around long enough for them to develop and contribute for you after they do.

The W/L record will be the judge.

If we ever want to be in contention for the CFP, we will need to take a few less projects and a few more highly-rated playmakers. It’s tough now with our recent history. Hopefully Rhule will be successful with his approach for where we are now, and aim higher when the W/L has been raised into a new tier.

Lloyd is the first one of these kids and he seems to have hit it out of the park so far.
