Worst 4 game stretch since Reaves Baysinger, 1948

Thank you for leaving out no girlfriends and no prospects for girlfriends.

That was kind of you.

You had an unconventionally flexible adaptation to that circumstance

Yep fighting a forest fire with a garden hose. Only way we ever compete for a few years is to have a phenomenal head coach. A special head coach. I just don't ever see the recruiting ever being anything better than a tick better than what it has been ( ON PAPER) for reasons discussed at nauseum here.

Our odds are much better of catching lightning in a bottle for a few years with a HC than recruiting 60 kids that all are ACC type level

Kansas has gotten really good not because Leipold is some crazy recruiter it's because he's a hell of a football coach who has quite a few assistants that have been with him for a number of years. His OC has been with him for 12 years. I mean Dino is on his 5th OC in 8 years? That's not a recipe for success. Employee Turnover is not a key ingredient for many successful organizations

THIS and ONLY this. This is in fact it in a nutshell. What I would add is that a few good seasons would also go a long way in improving recruiting of course. Not in comparison with the elites, but improvement nonetheless. Now...what are the odds of catching lightning in a bottle? Well, I can tell you that they're near zero if a program isn't trying their best to.
