I often wonder anymore if the coaches like Cal who seemingly only want “top 50” ranked prospects bother to really watch these guys play, or if they are just basically accepting of whatever the recruiting “gurus” throw out there. I mean, come on, who are these geniuses that can tell the small details that separate a guy from being ranked, say 12th overall vs. a guy ranked 86th? And do the coaches worry about how the pieces will fit together, or do they just swing for the fences to have a top-ranked recruiting class, then assume they are so great at coaching they can make it work? Someone made a great point earlier, Nick Saban, for years a defense-first guy, has admitted the football game had changed, and went out and started building an elite offense. And he just won his 7th national championship! The coaches that are willing to change as the game evolves stay successful. The ones that won’t—-I’m afraid we are seeing the result of that in Lexington right now.
