Those aren’t examples of the type of player he’s referencing - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 11:12:09

It’s strange how recruiting almost doesn’t matter now - FIJItiger MU

Agreed, just names and a brief recruiting profile - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 09:46:33

It's sort of a crapshoot - o'lineydisciple MU - 9/10 09:15:54

The 3rd ranked recruit last year averaged - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:21:18

Good point. like a box of chocolate never know what you get(nm) - oldtgr MU - 9/10 09:59:41

Agreed and in this tranfer portal world everybody is a - jj40 MU - 9/10 08:31:19

One could easily argue in the old world order - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/10 08:27:04
