I’m gonna need a list of those top 5. I seem to struggle at counting and only count 4
Whoops, you're right, it was 4, my mistake. Only double what the previous regime did, in around half the time. Clearly overrated. /s
It's not a straw man. You literally said Chin was overrated because he wasn't a national recruiter. I pointed out that his replacement isn't either, and his connections are very similar to Chin's (though with a different AAU program). How is that a straw man?
Interestingly, your correction made me realize Chin recruited as many top-50 guys here as OA, and the two highest. Not saying he's better than OA, just that the evidence he's overrated is pretty thin. Yes, he was only able to recruit from MIF, but that doesn't mean it wasn't effective. The guy left, we like his replacement, some of us want to build him a statue, other would like him to bring in a few recruits first. Just don't see why we need to keep selling short the accomplishments of our prior staff. They did an amazing job and helped put together a team I'm sure none of us will ever forget.
Anyway, I retire from this debate or whatever this is.
