They (memphis) better do something meaningful this season b/c current poor recruiting is going to drive them right back to their normal awful ways.

RE: 2018 Recruiting
I think our recruiting is going really well. A lot Eastern NC kids are historically underrated and develop into very good FBS players. I'll be interested if we can get some early success this year if we can start getting the next level of kid in NC to commit early.

RE: 2018 Recruiting
There are many sides to recruiting lol. You improve your roster from all angles. We had a streak of SEC transfers and guys that didn't qualify filling our rosters out with our recruiting classes. We don't have to knock it out the park every year in recruiting. With all that loaded talent Houston gets they barely squeak by us the previous 3 games against us before last season. Now we got better players that have had the chance to redshirt and physically develop. We ahead of schedule with building something special here

RE: 2018 Recruiting
We are excited about Holton Ahlers in Pirate Nation. Local kid, and a HELL of a good QB.
6'4" 235lbs - QB
He's received a ton of offers including Georgia, Oregon State, NC State, Cincinnati, and others. But he's stuck with the Pirates all along, and is actively recruiting for us!

When Fuente arrived 5 seasons ago, after Larry Porter's 2 disastrous seasons and Tommy West's bad seasons after DeAngelo Williams left, we had 55 players on scholly, and only a few of those were true D1 athletes.
Fuente slowly stocked us up, and Norvell finally got us 2 deep with quality guys. Now it's just a matter of mostly replacing the seniors each year, so the lack of quantity will affect the ratings to some extent.
But unless something catastrophic happens to our roster, or Norvell leaves and we make a bad hire, I think we will continue to be good for years to come.
We no longer put most of our resources into just basketball, as we did when Calipari was here. Our revenue in football now exceeds basketball, as well.
