None of it is valid.  Try comparing it to similar situations, otherwise it can't be valid.  SU was under sanctions, allowed fewer coaches to recruit off campus (which most people on here either completely discount as a disadvantage or forget about, though it actually is a huge disadvantage) and down on the number of scholarships.  That is not equivalent to a program with the full complement of scholarships and coaches recruiting.

Yet, JB did a great job of getting kids who were very comparable in terms of rankings.  The reduced scholarships allowed for a much smaller margin for error in terms of how kids did, and forced JB to do something he doesn't do often (push kids out).

If you live a life of glass 3/4 empty as some people on this board are, or have an agenda against the current coaching staff, which there are a few of these types on this board, then you choose to ignore those facts ( and they are facts.)

Starting this year, feel free to compare (though, realistically, there should be a year or two cushion given). From this point on, you are truly comparing oranges to others, with equal opportunities.

Personally, I feel very confident that JB will (yet again) prove to be a superior recruiter, as well as a superior developer of talent.
