Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 4797179, member: 615"] if history is any guide, we were innovative and managed the big games against the upper class programs as well as anyone (talking 87-98 period). Very rarely were we taken to the woodshed out of conference by a blue blood. Our ability to recruit black qbs in the 80s/90s went against the grain and propelled us into a real progressive system that is emulated and enhanced in the 2000s now. I think recruiting comes with results more often than not. And results beget buzz and a feel for momentum. Macpherson had momentum off of 87, Pasqualoni off of the Fiesta Bowl. Those moments propelled our recruiting. I don't think anyone would confuse Paul for Rick Pitino. Dino is probably our most charismatic coach since Dick Mac and his recruiting is mediocre because the results are. [/QUOTE]
