Over reaction? Let's see, Akers started trending away from LSU, Buggs to Bama, Lowell decommitted and DB's were concerned Raymond wasn't going to be here. That's over reacting?

With 2 months until signing day and not having a complete staff? Yeah it was an over reaction.

i don't know about anyone "freaking" out. but on Dec 11th you announced it looked like Lane Kiffen would be OC. on the 12th Kiffen signed with FAU.

then on the 12th you wrote your doom and gloom on recruiting. Monty Rice committed the next day. Guidry is back. Narcise is back.

i believe you get most of your information from here.

1. Akers, Narcisse, and any other offensive recruit obviously was gonna start trending away with no OC. Once an OC was hired, we went right back to being in a position to sign any offensive recruit we were after

2. Raymond was never going anywhere and that should've been obvious

3. I'll give you Buggs. No reason we should've fired BDP when we did

The article was an overreaction at the time but I understand why you put it out.

Jimmy, I have a question I'd like to ask you:

How much do you think online chatter affects recruits, their perception of the fans, coaches, and the school?

I hardly think that message boards and such determine where any given player will sign, but the gossip that floats around must have some effect on how recruits view different schools, right?

A huge number of Ranters have claimed 1) that recruits probably aren't even aware of message boards, 2) they give zero weight to all the chatter, if they are aware of it, and 3) that there is absolutely, positively, zero effect on any recruits in any way.

Yes that is an overreaction considering we got the commitment back and re-signed the coach in question.

Losing out on recruits happens literally all the time. Counting on kids to be in the class that never have committed in the first place, and saying that them going elsewhere is a sign that things are trending downward is an overreaction.

And point to a meaningful time that missing on one recruit actually led to missing on another. It's always talked about but rarely, if ever actually happens.
