9 teams with a losing record or 1 game above .500 are in the Top 25 in recruiting. That is almost unheard of that so many top teams and winning teams had bad years last year. All can sell immediate playing time and immediate impact. Seems like it was a bounce back year for a lot of programs, and I think in a year like this, we just got beat out by a lot of schools who have more and bettertradition, money, facilities, and playing time. We are pretty decent at a lot of spots on the field, and with the age of instant gratification for these younger kids, these kids wanted to go to some bigger schools where that could happen next year.
