[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1410668, member: 527609"] Ayo 32, JCL 37 in the RSCI, so there's a little gap there, but it is just flatly, categorically untrue that every highly ranked recruit we've had over the past decade was knowably predestined to be a huge disappointment and a lesser, more limited player than their rankings indicated. That is the big lie, take the orange pill and see that it is not so. We've had a bit of bad luck, and this stuff about positional balance is certainly true and meaningful, but that is just another thing that folds into the real explanation, the thing that stares us dead in the face: shockingly, uniquely incompetent coaching staffs. Weber & Co just found ways to do everything wrong, Groce & Co were utterly in over their heads at this level, and Underwood has gotten off on the wrong foot. The good news is what we have seen is a special, extreme kind of bad. No reason to think it's going to continue. [/QUOTE]
