No offense to the fine young men currently on the team, but our recruiting class rankings(which should always be taken with a grain of salt) under CJ haven't been anything to write home about.
At the same time, we probably lost a dozen games in the CJ era to special teams blunders, a lack of discipline and poor coaching. I think the talent level we currently have, if properly developed and coached, lets us compete in the AAC.
Kids are now going to want to come to Tulane because we are finally going to win!
That will get the ball rolling.
Yeah, I'm not worried about the recruiting is my point. We especially shouldn't be worrying about kids decommitting because of the coaching change. It is just what you have to deal with when you change coaches. If we start winning, the kids will want to be here. We're a prestigious university in the south, all we need is winning.
I imagine we will have some large recruiting classes the next few years as some current members of the team aren't going to like the new system. I'll also bet dollars to donuts we won't be hearing about how spring practice ended two days early.
My only concern is, please God, no more black/grey uniform bullshit. You can wear green and white or olive and blue. If you want to wear grey/black, you're at the wrong damn university.
