because if we get to at least 7 wins and we're looking exciting we might start recruiting middle of the pack. We have recruited badly for more than 5 years.
SEC average last 5 years: #13 in SEC (once 12, this year 14)
conference rank (B12, 2004-2008): 6.8 in B12 ... and we had some success 2006-10
Point is, we have to recruit somewhere in the middle, not the bottom ... only way to pull that off is to win next year and start building the momentum ...
It's going to be hard to win in 2021 and 2022 ... we will have near bottom level talent in those years unless we can magically add some from out of nowhere
Pinkel was saved by his QBs for years: Smith, Daniel, Gabbert, Franklin ... he had amazing skill and/or luck in getting QBs ... Mauk following Franklin followed by Lock would have continued the tradition if he could have kept himself together
