I could live without your Rudy picture Pace, but you are right in terms of the rose bowl comment. If we want to compete for one every year, we need to continue to get better at recruiting.
Luckily, we have been fortunate enough to excel at development long enough to build a P5 program. I am a huge Whitt fan and recruiting is picking up.
Thats not a knock on anyone or anything. It’s a fact of life that no one is perfect and we all have things to work on – for Utah football, it’s recruiting.
It used to be the OC carousel, a qb coach, lack of speed, depth, and decent quarterbacks. Those have essentially been solved for. We have an elite defense, scheme and coach who’s been locked down. Ludwig brought us a very, very good offense and we can now put up points. The largest gap to top tier, perennial contenders, is recruiting.
So if recruiting is our largest gap, we’ll get the most benefit by fixing it. That translates to more depth, earlier contributions from players and less turnover/rebuilding. This is how we can guarantee contention annually, and minimize cycles like we’re in now – having the seniors all align this year and having to rebuild next year.
