I keep seeing people making up this nonsense that Pinkel's recruiting tailed off and he left Odom a dumpster fire.
Not true. He left him playmakers at nearly every position in his last class. And NFL QB.. and as this guy points out, probably the reason we were 7-5, 8-5 in 2017-18 was due to that class.
"I think what really killed Odom’s progress was his 2016 & 2017 recruiting classes were very weak(due to coaching change and campus protests). They were ranked 47th and 49th, respectively. Barry inherited two strong recruiting classes from Pinkel in 2014 & 2015. 2015 being one of his best ever. It helped lead to the nice turnaround from 4-8 to 8-5. But you could see the roster was getting very thin behind the starters this year and it looks even worse for 2020.
Hopefully, Drinkwitz can do a little better with his first two classes than Odom did. It’ll be tough, though."
