I get that everybody likes to dump on Sudano for his perceived negativity.  I think the whole "trust the coaches" thing is overdone though and it gets old real quick.   Yeah, you're right we've got to trust them, its not like we have any other options as fans.  I get that they're the professionals and this is their livelihood, and hopefully they do know what they're doing.  But we're confusing hope with results.  After one 7-6 season I think the jury is still out on how this staff will pan out ultimately.  Nobody wants them to succeed at the recruiting wars as much as I do.  Imo, its going to be tough to compete in a power conference like the ACC with class after class built around diamonds in the rough that other schools couldn't find.  Can it be done?  Nothing is impossible but I'd be hard pressed to name a school in a major conference that can consistently win with under the radar talent.  There is something to be said for the fact that recruiting is a numbers game and that occasionally we will find and develop those diamonds in the rough-all I'm saying is we can't rely on it.   Those guys are the exceptions, not the rule.  Having said that, we are not a selector school yet nor will we probably ever be.  I'm just saying I'm looking forward to the day when we are competing and winning recruiting battles against peer institutions on a more regular basis for more obvious higher level talent and the under the radar guys are the exception not the norm for us.
