He can't control who Dooley recruited and got! Haha 3 stars are what we have but your team is built on tough threestars who were over looked! Do you need the big time recruits? Yes! We need them, but our backbone will be these recruits!!!!

Reeves-Maybin is not a 3-star, and he's the most positive of the bunch.

The measure of Jones, like any coach, will be what he can do with these young players. Will he be like Chris Petersen and turn them into better players and winners, or will they underachieve as they did under Dooley?

Can we fire this guy already? I know I will get some down votes & I honestly don't care. I would rather clean out the AD, Chancellor, & this hack of a HC so we can start over.

Well buckle up for the next chapter, ladies and gents. There's still plenty of drama to go on with staffing selection, and these recruits.
I'm going to give him a chance like I did Dooley, but honestly, I'm worried. Although, he does have a much better record than Dooley.

Have read two comments from you today so far. Both were stupid and very transparent. Go to your own teams page troll.
