My biggest fear moving forward is....how will this effect recruits who watched the last two games, and in particular last night's debacle?

If these guys smell blood in the water, will it set our classes in a downward spiral?

What's happening most certainly would have some effect would it not???

I don't see why a WR would want to play in that offense

I think it absolutely will.

Imagine the kids at the Bama-LSU game. Now imagine the same kids this week. Bama rolls the #1 team in the nation. LSU gets rolled by the worst team in the SEC.

Let's put it this way. Muschamp has lead a dumpster fire in Florida and kids like Cece Jefferson were seriously distraught when he was fired. Recruiting is about relationships.

Recruits and their parents certainly ask tough questions and have access to answers that we will never get.

Of course, especially when it comes to Nick Saban recruiting this state.

honestly, we slow up most years after we lose 2-3 games and it hasn' hurt recruiting much at all in years past...

we have stellar facilities, a coaching staff that kids and parents just love, and are a pipeline into the NFL...couple that with the possibility to play early and I am not sure why any kid wouldn't jump at the opportunity....

fact is, any team is gonna have ups and downs during the season and players understand that...we fans struggle with it a bit more...

It didn't in 2008, that's a fact, so I say no. In fact I think it helps because those who TRULY want to be a tiger will want to be a factor in bringing the team back to an elite status.
