So now it's because we pay?

Now you sound like SCar fans...y'all are better than that.

We've got it rolling right now for sure. Recruiting is good, but even more impressive we have NOT had "Top 5" type classes - let alone Top 2. They've been top 10-15....our QB this weekend was a 3 star who few wanted as a QB, the star WR the past 2 NC games was a walkon Furman passed on, and Kendall Joseph the "brains" of the defense on the field the past2 years was a 3 star more known for weightlifting. Yes, we have had our share of 4* and even 5* guys... but there are 10+ teams with more "talent" than us. Or more talent coming in - our coaches can recognize and coach up that talent. The WR and RB who went pro early last year were 3* guys.

Things could change tomorrow - they go in cycles. We aren't paying kids, you aren't paying kids, Petrino isn't...well, ok, some may.
