Message: [QUOTE="Sbucketball, post: 4233899, member: 8555"] I'm not so sure JB does know exactly when he'll retire. Buddy recently said that he thinks his dad will retire in 1-3 years, but JB doesn't even talk about it with his family (which, of course, may not be true and Buddy may know more than he's letting on). The ironclad plan could be that [I]when[/I] JB retires, which is likely in 1-3 years but can be whenever JB sees fit, Red takes over, or perhaps Hop returns. I didn't take the "ironclad plan" to necessarily guarantee JB has a set-in-stone expiration date. Although, it makes sense he signed a 5-year contract in 2018 and 2022-23 is his last year, and he'll retire after next season. Who knows. They have to be telling the 2023 recruits something. There's no way coaching is just a void topic that no one addresses. It's the most important thing to recruits and their families. Shrugging shoulders would not be an effective recruiting tactic, but then again, they haven't landed any 2023 recruits yet so perhaps they aren't sending a strong message to recruits on this front. I'm surprised their messaging hasn't gotten out to the public -- which may indicate they aren't saying JB will step away. That would be very news-worthy and tough to keep secret. I'm not sure who Cuse is likely to land for 2023. They cover every position in 2022 and it's impossible for recruits to forecast the depth chart at their position until the freshman start playing games. That makes it difficult to recruit, but I believe the more important endeavor is keeping the 2022 class together and supplementing with a couple transfers after next season. That might be the best move. If they stick together, they'll be good. Maybe Cuse tried to get so many 2022 recruits because they knew it would be harder to recruit in 2023 because they wouldn't be able to send a strong message on the coaching front. They set themselves up for success after next year regardless of whether they land good 2023 recruits, so long as they can retain talent. [/QUOTE]
