So this further confirms that Maineri and Co. couldn't develop talent?

Louisville @ 12 and Ole Miss @ 10 tell me McDonnell is hell of recruiter. Bringing that talent to Louisville is impressive. Makes you wonder what he could do here.

Half this board would have you believe OM’s recruiting classes are in the 50s.

Agreed. He's out recruiting a lot of higher profile programs.

W/ LSU out, would have expected something by now. Could still be negotiating I guess.

Look at the list. They are the 7th best SEC team

They are a tick away from being 9th.


Just understand their path is a little different then say Louisville who recruits at a similar level

I get that but once theyre in the post season, how likely is it that they are not the most talented team in their regional? Or SR?

Which makes Bianco's lack of success even worse

But yet everyone hates the guy that is the recruiting coordinator for whatever reason.

Bianco not having talent at Ole Miss is one of those rant myths that just keeps getting regurgitated. Bianco wouldn’t even be in consideration if he hadn’t played for LSU.

Not always a given. The supers are usually littered with the top teams in this list


There’s a big difference between between the kids at LSU, Vandy & Ark and say ole miss, Kentucky & South Carolina. Despite not much difference in this recruiting ranking.

Go get Stanford or ND’s coach. They can’t recruit, but both are in Omaha.
