Interesting ^
I am guessing today, not just winning but being dominant, will create energy that will make it easier to solidify or hold on commitments.

DBR has been around a very long time.

Hardin seems to say part of the reason for the Hat’s downfall was the failure to secure recruits from NC. I’d say some of that is also the fault of a corrupt program under his predecessor Butch Davis which turned off NC players and families, and the fault of the entire school which was engaged in academic corruption primarily benefitting athletes.
But media always focuses on the most recent events as the controlling ones yet there is much more to this debacle than just the Hat.
With the greatly expanded number of bowl bids now, the minimum standard of success is a bowl game invitation.
Regardless, WF’s success in November 2018 really has solidified the upward trajectory of the program for at least the next couple of years. Talented high school OLmen and DLmen should seriously consider WF to maximize their playing time opportunities at a school with plenty of talent at the skill positions.
Exhibit A: Mike Allen. One day he will be a high NFL draft pick because he is playing at WF, not riding the pine. But riding the pine and playing behind everyone else at an Auburn or a Miami would have gotten him very little PT to show his talent to scouts.
That's silliness. Underclassmen on both lines get plenty of playing time at the big football factories, either through rotation or injury.
Allen was the #169 player in the country and had 30 offers. He was going to get playing time early wherever he went.
Do you think the current starting Clemson defensive line that's going too be drafted in the first round of the NFL draft wishes they had gone to a school where they might have gotten more snaps as a R-FR ? What about the 4-star and 5-star guys who are going to start behind them next year ?
Now, I agree with you completely when it comes to 3-stars and guys who are still growing into their bodies.
Early football signing period:
December 19-21.
I'm guessing Clawson would rather be working the phones and texts securing commits leading up to it rather than in Florida preparing to play on national TV.
What if recruits who weren’t considering UNC because of Fedora change their minds when Mack Brown is hired? You better bet he will be on the phone to a lot of recruits right away.
Yes, but we don’t have anything to worry about. Will Smart is the only one I’m concerned with but I think we’ll end up with his signature. All our big name recruits are all in with Clawson. NC State is the one team that will be sweating bullets as they have been dominating Fedora in recruiting the last couple years
