Faith / Patience ya gotta have it

  • New to the group, and I really like all the guys great and timely updates. Given the time CBJ and staff have had, they done a tremendous job. I'm like everyone else and want to get every 4/5 star recruit and to win from day 1, but it's just not likely, nor is having a top 10 recruiting class. DD did us no favors, and 5 straight poor seasons hurts in all facets of the program.

    Let's have the faith they can now coach these 3 stars up, and make 5 stars out of the few 4s we have and hopefully will land by Wednesday. I think it was Fulmer who said " give me a few 3 star athletes with the desire to work hard and get better and you can have the 5 stars with a chip on their shoulder."

    Ryan, tell these recruits and coaches I live in So CA and have seen every game the past 2 years and only paid for 3. They are on every week, either ESPN, CBS or somewhere. The exposure is probaly better than any other program outside of ND....

    I don't really have any issues with this post...but I don't think the majority of the fan base feels differently...just so you're aware.

    It also doesn't mean we don't have legitimate reasons to freak the hell out when we look at the depth chart going forward.

    Oh, please believe me, I get as upset as any when we hear bad news; especially when you lose a good recruit to, what I believe, with all due respect, to be an inferior program.
