I tend to agree with most all said here. Thank you Big Fan for all the research! I gave myself a headache trying to figure out why we are in the position we find ourselves in based on our good recruiting the past few years. I was going strictly on memory without looking up hard facts.I knew that we recruited "good" in Shula's last class or two. I remembered a top 20-top 25 ranking in those. I also remember a #1 (by many) O-line class in 2006 and a top 3-5 DB class as well. This brings me to 2 questions (one of which may have been touched on last night).1. Did the stars and rankings mean nothing for either of these groups? This is not a top O-line in the STATE much less in the country or SEC. This is not a top DB corps either. Has there ever been a time when stars mean so little? I know we don't have 4 and 5 stars, but our solid 3's had a tough time with Houston's probable 1 and 2's.2. Wasn't this the year that many picked to be OUR YEAR? Many of us knew '06 would be tough, but everyone was told just to wait for 2007. I'm assuming "they" were basing that on talent. I doubt it was for coaching. So, what has happened since then? We have a more seasoned and proven coach, a new staff and most of the same players. So, how did we go from OUR YEAR to what we're seeing now?How can all of us be so fluid? ;scr
