Only if you are satisfied beating nobody of significance. We have to recruit and have a larger % of our class be true 3star athletes to compete with Ap. States, WKU, mid level ACC programs, etc. Plain and simple as that. Sure the occasional 1 or 2 star that pans out helps but there are not enough of them to truly compete against higher level programs.

What do you think is enough significance? I was using the past 6 recruiting cycles.

We have recruited better than WKY over the past few years if you use 247 as your source. I'm not totally sure on APP State, but I think we may be higher than them as well.

If this is true, it means are coaches can recruit but not coach. WKU ands APP have kicked our butts.
Personally I don't believe that. I believe those two schools have out recruited us.
