"One thing about when you struggle a little bit, young men see opportunity," Rodriguez said. We've got a lot of offensive skill guys that wanted to jump on board, and that's great. But we've got to make sure we recruit guys for defense. As a head coach and as a staff, we say, 'OK, we really like this guy, but can he help us at this position of need?' I like that.

"We're all eager to prove ourselves." I think some of the higher-profile recruits that a lot of us are hoping for (e.g., Prater, Henderson) are also eager to see if UM proves itself, and are going to wait until partway into or after the season to decide on UM. They want to see if that highly predicted turn around manifests itself. How much of a turn around is enough? who knows. I am guessing anything above a 5-win season is a decent turn around.

R.R. recruits players that fit into his system and does not pay attention to rating services. His track record speaks for itself and he knows a hell of a lot more about football then you. GET OVER IT.
