Who was the SWAC Freshman of the year? Who lead the conference in interceptions? Somebody had to recruit them right???
Good points. There is no doubt that Comegy can recruit. If you really take the time look at what he has brought to Valley in three classes vs the budget, you have to give him his credit as a damn good recruiter. As someone has already pointed, the types of players that Valley is seeing in the RC era is a big upgrade compared to the kids who have signed in the past. Thompkins is a star recruit that Valley really shouldn't have landed. He had better offers, and all of the schools who recruited him had better facilities. Someway/somehow, RC got him to sign with Valley along with that kid from (the loaded) New Orleans.
While I am known to respect RC's recruiting and will to win, the difference with me an other Comegy believers is the fact that I feel that he has to walk into a good situation to start winning earlier than expected. Tuskegee and Jackson State had depth on ther roster when he arrived. Valley is a tough project. He could very well be in over his head in a mouse trap. While Valley is bringing in better recruits chip by chip, the rest of the SWAC East has been reloading each year. There is a difference between a program that is 3 years away from competing vs a program that is 3 players away. Valley is in a tough spot.
