Said I would ask... I did.
Message to defensive recruits, especially non-committed kids? Tougher to recruit that side of the ball with all the uncertainty right now?
"No. We kind of talked a little bit about it after we made the change at mid-season. I think it’s more just being honest with guys. We’ve made them very aware of where we’re at in our decision-making process and how that affects them. But I think more guys in general are committing more to the program and the overall direction of the program. We’ve had some guys with questions, which I would have questions, too, certainly when we’ve made a change in leadership on that side. Naturally, guys are gonna want to know what your plans are. So we’ve been up front with them as we possibly can be. I think they’ve appreciated that. We’ve got great relationships with those kids. They’re all excited about coming here and playing defense."
