During Odom's tenure as head coach from 2016-2019, three of our closest recruiting rivals (AR, IL & kU) went 15-34, 15-34 and 9-39 respectively. The Nubs went 22-27. Granted, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, Kentucky, OU and Okie State all had winning records during that period, but only the Sooners would have been considered an elite program. All of which goes to show you that Odom couldn't even recruit at an above-average level when the odds were stacked in his favor.
Glad we now have a true salesman as a head coach in Drink.
