In hindsight was CBJ really a better recruiter than BK?
Honest question here. The bar I'm thinking of is getting drafted to the NFL.
After following college recruiting avidly for about a decade I'm not much more cynical about class rankings and such. Classes can't be judged until so far after the fact that same year rankings are just about senseless.
:::stepping off soapbox:::
What I'm really looking for now tho are opinions on who was really the better recruiter. Personally, I think I fell for the party line that BK didn't really care much for recruiting and CBJ brought in higher ceiling kids and our future was brighter, talent wise, yada yada yada.
However, now I'm looking at the individual talents and it seems to that it's becoming increasingly clear that BK brought in some of the most talented kids that we've yet to be able to replace with CBJ's recruits.
BK's homeruns:
Pead
Wolfe
Kelce
Schaffer
Kay (i know, too early to say)
Binns (potentially a MD kid, can't remember)
O'Donnell
Adrien Robinson
John Hughes
CBJ's homers: (purely speculation for the most part on who will get drafted)
Silverberry Mouhon (?)
Shaq (?)
Greg Blair
Anthony McClung (?)
Eric Lefeld (added per suggestion)
Kenbrell Thompkins (added per suggestion)
Nick Temple (?) (added per suggestion)
If I'm missing anyone feel free to let me know. Just something I'm tossing around in my head. Curious to hear other opinions.
As I was saying, seems pretty clear to me that CBJ's recruits, while more highly rated, have failed to deliver the individual stars to power us. What's clear is he wasn't/ isn't the coach that BK is for UC. We've taken a step back.
(?) - for kids who have the talent, yet have yet to be drafted. Again, using the NFL as the ultimate bar.
