Expecting Malachi to be here in 16-17 when he was recruited was fair, expecting Ennis or McCullough to be here right now is not.

I view recruiting a little differently; I don't think it's about your #1 or #2 choice unless you're Duke, UNC or Kentucky and basically pick who you want. For them, recruiting is more about picking the right people than convincing people to come. We're in that next tier, where it's a combination of targeting the right players and convincing them to come here. As far as I'm concerned, the best strategy would be to pick a handful of guys and then hope to land one of them. Also, beyond who you target, scouting and picking the right guys to target matters too. If you get your #1 choice every year, but there are too many misses, that's a problem too.

I also agree 110% that people are underestimating the impact of the NCAA penalties, and obviously a coaching change has a lot of risk in terms of a dip in the program... Especially in the ACC, where a decently talented team can easily have a losing record in the conference.
