Big props to Houston's success this season and especially in the recruiting trail.

Every member of the AAC has the same excuse of competing with SEC, ACC, BIG12, BIG12 and Pac12 schools. It is obvious Houston has the same obstacles we all do. But the staff and school said F that. We will chase the same 5* and 4* recruits and transfers...and put that much energy and more into it. It is impressive.

I just hope that other schools and coaches do and have the same attitude. No reason to be a one team league. If Houston can do it...so can UCF, USF, ECU, Memphis, Temple, etc.

Coach Mo you are on deck. Pirates.

#G-VegasTakeover

Exactly. It would have been easy to not fire Levine, but they made the right call. I hope ECU made the right call firing Ruff and hiring Mo. Won't know for a while, but like Levine at Houston ECU was never going to win a championship with Ruff as the coach.

All the hires seem to be great so far for ECU. Lets see what happens, nothing proven yet.

This conference has produced two major bowl winners in the last 3 years. I want 3 for 4. No reason why we can't do it.

Agreed! Cincy needs to get rid of Pine box before he just drives that program in the ground, to no return. He has done it everywhere he has been. Still scratch my head at that hire.

I don't think Norvell is backing down. He did sign a former 4* QB from Tennessee

Yep the response to what Houston did this year should be across the league "if they can do it so can we."

Yep, he's just riding out this contract till retirement. He has no fire left.

Not starting ****. If they don't act soon they may find them in UCF's shoes this year. Hung on to a coach who lost his fire to coach and went 0---fer

Come on guy. Herman is riding a magic carpet right now. He is playing with someone elses recruits and has struck gold. This is one in a million for G5 schools. Recruiting harder is not going to get more 4 or 5 star kids to ECU or any other school in this league.

This is a one of kind , once in a generation find for Houston. Congrats for them. But it is pure fantasy to think that some how other schools in this league can do the same in terms of recruiting. Not going to happen, even.

USF have been getting a pretty good number of 4 star kids the entire tenure of Taggert, and until this year he wasn't winning crap. This is a losers mentality right here. SMU is landing a great recruiting class despite being terrible this year.

the biggest complaint about O'leary by some fans was that his methods were outdated and in many instances he didn't even try when a recruit had SEC offers

And there were a lot of fans that agreed with him "UCF is a G5 school, we can't recruit at that level"

Disagree! Boise has been doing it for a decade. Boise in the middle of know where. They have a recruiting system they use, and it works. obviously Houston sits in a hot bed of talent, it may require coaches from other states, and schools to hustle more and travel more but look, if Boise can do it, any school in the AAC can do it. We all have resources, they are just different depending where your located.

Getting 4 and 5 star kids to come to schools like ours has never happened on a regular basis. I think your attitude is more fantasy than reality. If it was this easy to kid these types of kids at ECU, it would have happened before. No way ECU is ever going to get 4 and 5 star kids on any type of regular basis. USF, and SMU are in unique areas for recruiting, but they are not close to Houston numbers.

Boise never landed a 5star recruit out of High School.( Boise guys tell me if I am wrong) Go back and look at their ESPN ratings for the past few years. Sometimes a a four star, but more 3's and 2's than anything else.

Boise always hits gold w X&O coaches, they've never done great in recruiting

The woods are full of ECU fans and I guess the rest of the league has them too, that say 'we can never do that'. Those are the biggest obstacle at ECU, IMO. We have to many 'poor little ole us' mentality types that just think we should know our place. I went to school during the era of the great Chancellor Leo Jenkins, who never saw obstacles, but opportunities instead. I don't know what happened to the ECU culture that he spawned, but it sickens me to hear those types who poo poo ambitions and urge caution instead of being bold and reaching for the stars.

but theyve been dramatically better than everyone else in the MWC....

people will look at boise #60 ranked recruting classes and think they arent that great a rcruting team

but when you compare to the teams they play...80% of the MWC are in the 100s..and the next closest to the them are fresno/sdsu in the low 70's
