So, 2020 was a pretty good recruiting class, right? We had 9 blue chip recruits. 2021, Beamer came in 11 days before early signing day. When Beamer came in, the vast majority of recruits in the class had committed somewhere all ready. We were not able to host recruits. Beamer was not able to have face to face interactions with recruits. Beamer, who had been recruiting an entirely different area of the country couldn't evaluate anyone to see if they were worth the offer. On early signing day, I think 80% of the class did sign. Now the question is, how many blue chip recruits should he have been able to recruit with a week and a half, get them to flip to a new school, site unseen, to a program that won two games, with an incomplete coaching staff, with a week and a half to change there minds on the biggest choice they've ever made? Let's forget the blue chippers now. How about 3-stars, should he have put together 20 3-stars he couldn't adequately evaluate and just hope he can hit a dart board dead center blindfolded a dozen times? Or should he have sured up what he already had, push for a couple guys he knows he wants and then chase transfers for an instant impact that he knows can play college ball and get immediate eligibility? I wanna know who thinks he did the wrong strategy and I want you to defend that we could've put together a top 50 recruiting class with everything I said in mind. In fact, I'd love to hear anyone tell me that they genuinely believe any coach that hasn't played for a national championship could've put together a good recruiting class with less than 10 already in the fold with 11 days to recruit prior to 80% of players signing. Name the coach that could've gotten a good class without just filling it up with warm bodies under those circumstances. Better yet, name a team that had less than 10 players when Beamer was hired that made it into the to 50 of classes.
Refute with facts or stop bad mouthing and hurting our program because y'all are practically doing all the negative recruiting our rivals could ask for.
