Early on this staff talked about wanting "football junkies" and seemed to value HS kids getting to campus early. Why has that nearly stopped? Is it somehow related to pandemic disruption, a change in emphasis on our end, a change in HS kid mentality? Obviously not having a committed QB accounts for 1 missing and just having fewer HS recruits impacts it, but I wonder if other schools are seeing a similar trend.
