It’s matter of fact. I’ve said very little lately as you and many others have rushed to squat to pee, but post I responded carried subject matter you guys constantly gloss over with random excuses. I’ve maintained the position I posted from Dec16/Jan17 forward. Rather than counter any point, you take an ironically absurd position of accusing someone else of hyperbole.
Texas has signed two great classes in a row. I expect them to do the same this year. Part of it is Texas. Part of it is the staff’s excellence in evaluation. Part of it is that there are actually some qualified closers on staff. That’s all great. It doesn’t change the fact that we’re going to miss repeatedly on critical, difference-making targets, and that will separate Texas from being good versus great, and that is self-inflicted.
There’s always been an important distinction on UT boards between those who understand that good is the enemy of great, and those who think good is ever “so close” and we should just be happy with that. That isn’t the way I do anything in life, and my expectations of what Texas should be doing are never going to change accordingly. It won’t always jibe with the critical thinking gurus on the boards such as you or echeese or apparently Barry_McConiker, and that’s okay.
