Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 4809638, member: 430"] There is definitely talent in the region the program can use, but that talent over the past 20 years has primarily gone to OSU, ND, Michigan, Clemson, PSU, FSU, Miami and the SEC. And unless a coach can consistently win 7-10 games a year, make us nationally relevant and an ACC competitor, then the top tier talent from the NE will continue to go to the schools I previously mentioned. It’s already been proven when Marrone was here that for the top talent, relationships really don’t matter. The kids want the glitz and glam and go after that type of profile of school. We see it every single year, even when we have kids that are legacies. If Cheaney can make us nationally relevant and a consistent ACC competitor, then he’ll start plucking some of that top talent. And if he doesn’t, he won’t, I don’t care how strong his relationships are in the NE. [/QUOTE]
