I understand what your saying, your right, those are issues every year.  I think the problem is some people had higher expectations than they should have just because it might have been hinted that recruiting was locked up.  All of a sudden were out searching for a bunch of JUCO's and people think something bad happen.  It's possible a few recruits we thought were coming here have fallen off the wagon but that doesn't mean the coaches are doing a bad job, IMO.
 
 These things happen every year, we've actually been lucky since HCDM has been here and we really haven't lost a lot of recruits that were realistically interested in coming here.  But every year the staff has been here we've been aiming a little bit higher and higher with with each of our classes.  When that happens you lose kids you think you've got, that happens to all the big time programs.  The difference for schools like Oregon, they just replace the de-commits with another big time recruit.  We're not at that level yet, so I just think  we have to expect these types of things to happen and it's not necessarily a negative reflection of the staff.  I would be more worried if there was no back up plan or we filled these spots with no star - 2 star recruits nobody has heard of before.  
 
Some of these JUCO's look like they can play too, so I'm not too worried about it.  Were not going to live on bringing in JUCO's but some years it's a necessary evil.
