What I think is funny is your suggestion that we can pull 10 different 4 and 5 star players a year in a recruiting class.  Less than 15 teams, really about 10-12, do that nationally.  I don't believe we can do that.  We don't devote the financial resources it would take to do that like, for example, Oregon does.  That's an investment of tens of millions of dollars.  We don't have that and never will.  If you win a National Championship and contend annually, you get such recruiting classes while investing slightly less dollars, but still have to invest in facilities, etc.  However, that takes literally decades to build up to.  It is funny to me because what you are suggesting is an absolute impossibility.  That doesn't mean I'm not a fan of this school and team or that I think this football team will be average or below average from now on.

You don't have to recruit in the top 10 or 12 or 15 to finish with 9 wins a year consistently.  If you recruit between 25-45 ranked classes every year, you can easily win 9 games or more if you have good to great coaching.  On that point, we agree entirely.
