We should all be happy to go back and laugh at ourselves.

Speculation is about all we have in the offseason, especially when MBB is struggling.

But speculation stated as fact is not appreciated. If you don't know, you don't know.

We are years away from being competitive for any championship. At least we have better coaching to look forward to.

You just cannot have a bunch of misses and we have not lately. No knocking the star system but their are a lot of Politics involved with that. Do you not find it odd that a 2 or 3 star recruit offered by Bama automatically becomes a 4 or 5 star? I do. The fact is the Blue Bloods will always have the recruiting rankings because the Guru's put more stock in their offers.

They could be "alternative facts", right?

All of those guys were the best recruits in the nation.

All of those guys got quality minutes throughout the season due to blowouts.

All of those guys play against national championship caliber players in practice.

While you bring up good points, the post you are replying to was from 2016. I have no complaints on the current state of the program. We had a Great 2017 season. Looking forward to next year.

You have absolutely nailed part of the problem we are up against. We have to depend 100% on Muschamp’s ability to evaluate, and he is one of the best.....the top talent get the best players because they want to play on a top 10 team. This time around, when we get to the top 10, we’ll stay there because he will make sure our coaches don’t get lazy and will work as work after we get there as we did trying to get there.

My expectations for the freshmen are to get out there and play like like they're making a name for themselves. I like to see competitiveness among players. Don't think because you're the new guys on the team that you have to sit on the bench and watch the veterans. Learn from them, but show them what you got.
