Lovie offered guys from ESL during his tenure....that is about it. He did the bare minimum and thought he could land recruits. Cubit landed one ESL player for the 2016 class and Lovie landed one for the 2017 class. Pretty sure that was the last one until Hayden committed for the 2023 class.
BB and staff actually reached out to Illinois high school football coaches once he was hired.
I don't think ESL coach held a grudge at all. Look at his Twitter and all about building the team and players up. About crawling out of the cellar, than yes you are correct. Hopefully have a couple cold drinks to enjoy along the way up
