Are we going to act like him battling cancer was not a huge obstacle to overcome? And that there was obvious question marks about what level he'd be able to get back to? It's no different than an athlete that battles serious injuries their whole HS career. We know how good you were BEFORE, but we're unsure how good you can be AFTER. It's unfortunate that he went through that, and I have nothing but respect for him. He's way tougher than I ever will be. But it's something that is factored in.
No doubt. But Cael's teams have been able to win titles, despite his 5th-7th year guys underperforming their last years. That's the difference between the two situations.
Yea you're right about that. I'm not denying it. But Cael isn't on the hot seat, while Brands is on the hot seat by HIS OWN FANS. If you're an Iowa fan and don't want Brands gone I'm sorry for getting you worked up. I have no dog in the fight. I'm an Okie State fan. I am just friends with some Hawk fans who are ready to see Brands go for the reasons I said.
He was #35 on @Husker_Du's 2023 Big Board. I would not consider that a 'top-level' recruit. A good/great recruit? Absolutely. Top-level? No. To me, top-level is top 15-20ish. If your definition is different than that then there ya go.
