I will say the football team has not had poor recruiting.  In fact, we are bringing in players that fit the current system.  They may be "under the radar", but many schools were trying to poach them as signing day neared.  Just because we don't get all 4 & 5 star players does not mean that we aren't getting great athletes who will excel.  The ratings system is so overdone it's not even funny.
 
We do have a difficult schedule next year, but so be it!  Marrone refused to play cupcakes and I completely back him on that.  Does it suck for the fans?  Yes.  We are in the middle of a transition that will bring us out of this hellhole and into the ACC.  Everything will be better in 2 years.  Our schedule will be balanced out with quality opponents and many good games in the Dome.
 
As far as bball, yes it has certainly been a year to forget.  On the other hand, we're 31-2 and headed into the Tourney as a 1 seed.  It has been a great year in that regards, and it is amazing how well the players have responded to adversity all year.  With Fab being gone, this is yet another obstacle that they will have to get over.  I am confident they will.
 
See you in Pitt, Boston and NOLA.  37-2.
