First off, I'd like to say I appreciate the stories and love to hear some of the happenings on the inside of the program. Keep them coming!
With that said, I don't think it's fair to compare the story of a recruit LaVell kept vs. the story of a recruit Bronco lost. A more fair comparison would be to compare stories of recruits they both landed or ones they both lost and differentiate the reasons why it happened in each case.
I'm sure there are some recruits that Lavell landed that Bronco would not have. I'm also sure there are some recruits that Bronco landed that Lavell would not have.
If you want to compare the product that both coaches put on the field, I think that's fair to do. When it comes down to it, what I want as a cougar fan is an upstanding program that puts a great product on the field. I think both deliver in that category. Now Bronco just needs to get us another NC.
