I hope we did not spend too much time chasing rainbows and missed out on kids we can get. We are not at the elite level yet.
I am only slightly worried about this. I think the coaches know who they want and who they have a good shot at landing. We're not chasing the top guys in a class yet. Plus, so much of recruiting is relationships, so I wouldn't expect a bump in recruiting until maybe next year, but more likely 2020.
I also want to point out that there's still a lot of time left in recruiting, and the Spring season is hard to follow for us. I went back to the Class of 2017 thread, and the first mention of Lucas Williamson being an actual target was April 10. (People recommended we check him out before that, but it wasn't clear that he was a target until then.) We knew of Marques Townes as a target even later the year before that. With all the transfers that come out and coaching changes that happen, a lot of things can happen over this recruiting period that we don't know about until last minute.
