What kind of talent do you think should come to Minnesota?
Do you think talent should increase as a team's record improves?
How does a team's record improve without increased talent?
Do you want to go back and schedule easier nonconference teams to improve the record? Do you know how past HCs got ripped on these websites and in the press for weak nonc. opponents?
How many talented players are available that can get into Minnesota, stay out of trouble and actually graduate?
All coaches have faced the same problem in recruiting. To get talented players that have not already been chosen by higher ranking teams or schools in warmer climates, they needed to take higher risk recruits that may not get into school or will flunk out of school or will require someone else to do the work for them. No matter how good the recruiter the coach will face the same problems.
