[QUOTE="RickStromFan, post: 585999, member: 4403"] Except he didn't quite get entirely 'starved of recruiting resources'. For starters, it's now becoming clear that, from the words of numerous HS coaches in the metro area, we had almost no local HS presence during most of PJ's tenure. There's absolutely no excuse for that, since you don't need any money to announce your presence and recruiting costs are literally the cost to fill up gas tanks. Additionally, PJ griped and DID get at least one thing in 2011 - an 88,000 sq. foot indoor practice facility literally billed to "provide a recruiting edge". At the time, it was considered to be one of the best indoor facilities in the southeast. As we've all often stated, we aren't a Factory and aren't going to generate IPTAY money. That PJ got exactly what he'd asked for here is proof that the spigots weren't entirely turned off during his tenure. [URL]https://www.ajc.com/sports/college/tech-indoor-facility-provide-recruiting-edge/QiesehC4QE0uId7I77SbjP/[/URL] I don't argue that PJ was resource-limited from recruiting outside our SE region but pretending that the guy literally asked for and didn't receive recruiting resources is Revisionist History, at best.
