I don't buy the sanction excuse at all. It will not affect any new recruit. But I think you may be on to something with the retirement of JB. Bingo yes you got it. You finally got it. He's retiring and leaving the reins to Hopkins. That is why we don't have recruits, he was the wrong choice for a replacement. They should have gotten a proven coach, one which was a proven good recruiter. Bottom line and I don't care what anyone says, Hopkins and STAFF can not recruit. I loved the guys when they played for us but that's all we have are ex players as coaches and they CAN'T recruit. JB brought in Moyer, Thompson and Battle. I say get a proven coach and staff and it will turn things around, if not, I will be along long time to get to where we were. Over the top lately? Give it a rest? My friend, you snooze you lose, and that's just what we are doing.
