This is what I was talking about when I wrote this earlier:
Except in this case, we're trying to give Shane credit not only for his years as recruiting coordinator, but a couple years prior. Just to make the story better. (2007 for example)
Kiffin apparently made an 11th hour run at Duckworth

He was one of 9 assistants in 2007-08 prior to becoming Recruiting Coordinator. And a reason why he might have been chosen to be Recruiting Coordinator in 2009 could have been because he had a couple of years experience as Recruiting Coordinator at Mississippi State. The On3 site had the SC 2010 class ranked 51st when he was RC. I, and many others, made the point in 2021 that recruits back in that day were coming to play for the legendary Steve Spurrier, not for Shane Beamer. I know if I was a recruit and I was recruited by Shane Beamer in 2009 or 2010, playing for future Hall of Famer Steve Spurrier, would be a major reason to come to South Carolina. Spurrier would be a magnet. After Beamer left South Carolina, our recruiting rankings were in the Top 20 for the following 5 years at 16, 19,19, 14 and 17. There was no fall off to sub-25 rankings. And that's because recruits came to play for Spurrier. As important as recruiting is (the lifeblood of programs), if Beamer was special at recruiting, you would think that one of the 3 schools, Virginia Tech, Georgia or Oklahoma he worked at after leaving USC, would have made him Recruiting Coordinator. But, they did not. They obviously felt that his talents would be better used doing something else in their program.
Well now on3 was wrong now weren’t they.
Those guys look like #51 to you? Me either.
You get the emoji for my most devoted groupie this week. Thank you for your support.
That was their ranking. At least I did not make it up. They obviously look at ALL the recruits.
Looking like Duckworth won’t make his decision today based on what just read, but that could change anytime the way recruiting goes now.

Aww, puppy's going to cry again because someone pointed out his foolish excuse before he got a chance to type it.
The USC media guide and most public recruiting databases show 23-24 for 2010. At any rate, Duckworth….
All I can do is go by what (On3 rankings) is available to me. But, even 23-24 is nice but not "WOW-like".
It's like the NFL Draft, when they announce who they have chosen everyone starts cheering and clapping. You can tell they have never heard of this person in their life! They have no clue what their getting.
Stock, this is as close to an admission that you are right as you are going to get.
