But On this issue, yes KS wasn’t exactly left with great talent, he was left with mid 60 ranked talent, and we have a team that is currently ranked about double that talent rating.
Bronco had a ceiling at BYU because of his weaknesses in recruiting, but his on the field production almost always was significantly better than his recruiting ranking, that fact is hard to argue.
It’s also looking very much like the opposite seems to be the case with the current staff, yes it shouldn’t be surprising that performance has backslid based on recruiting history, but I don’t think anyone expected the current drop, which while there probably isn’t enough data to make any final decisions about, and injuries have added to the current state, but in the short term the results are pretty alarming and could hamper the necessary improvements that were expected in recruiting with KS and his staff. This year is a golden year for LDS talent, and it looks like it is going to be handicapped because of the on field production, this is how tail spins start, and if there isn’t a correction soon, it may be irreversible by KS.
