Never have had harsh word to say about him or his staff, but where are we going to be in a couple of years?

2020 is by far the best class App has ever had (star wise) so I'd say it's a good start

It feels like he's recruited some good guys but it's way too early to tell. It's not just about recruits themselves but how the coaching staff develops them once they're on board. Moore and Satt and their staffs mastered developing guys into truly great players that were overlooked by the P5s.
I recall hearing Ronald Blair talk about how ACC schools passed him over and now he's playing on Sundays and will probably give my Panthers some problems this weekend. I credit Blair's hard work and Satt and his staff in developing him into that kind of talent.

Thanks all the same, but Drink is playing with house money. It can be discussed by mere mortals.

Let’s just hope he can. I bet he can. I’m sure we will be fine.

Discuss away. Drink is 6-0 playing with App State house money. There's no "but" about it to date.

Every game moves my needle. Any slip and we are out of the NY6 conversation and media attention goes away. I'm enjoying every single win. Keep piling up the #1-0s.

This is just a very weird thread to start after landing 2 of the top guys in SC, and like i said, the best overall class we’ve had so far.

Dumb post. We have signed the best class app has ever seen. Why do people post if they're not really paying attention?

Agree. The only question is will we keep developing talent because right now we know for sure he can recruit.

We aren't done either. I'm guessing 2-3 more commits but hopefully Moose could give us an exact number?

We haven't signed anyone and won't until December. Now, we've gotten commits from players that they would sign in December or February, but it hasn't happened yet. Pay attention.

Remember, part of the reason Drink is able to get commits that are graded a little better than previous commits is because Satt built the program with two- and no-star players. Don't disparage the past to make yourself feel good about the present.
