First, this is NOT a defense of the results we've seen for the last two years. It's not a defense of Cumbie in any way, shape, or form. That said, I've read quite a few times that we have better talent that NMSU (probably) and WKU (probably not). So, here's a poll. You tell me what you think.
I'll give you my opinion--we don't have great talent and we certainly don't have great depth. Is it a failure to figure out the portal? Maybe. It is a failure to adjust to the new high school recruiting? I don't know.
What I do know is that we are staring at our 3rd straight 3-9 year. I'd say we've had below average (for Tech) talent since at least 2020. Show me why I'm wrong (and if you intend to use the recruiting rankings to show me, be sure to look at offers for the guys we signed over the past 3-4 years).
