Win or lose, I'm excited for this new brand of ball, though. And where it's gonna lead our Program. As I see it, THIS was the only way we were ever gonna have a shot landing the top LDS talent over the next decade+.

The old method of recruiting & financing was simply not gonna give us a chance at guys like Mandaquit & Rueckert, I don't think. (And I give a big shout-out to Pope for getting our Dept & Admins to a place to where they realized they needed to flip the switch this year like they have with the KY hire & the big-$$ NIL dealing.)
