You see these 21 five-star kids in the 2027 class and ESPN is doing all these scouting breakdowns about how they fit, and I just think about the 1980 team that won it all with grit and a defense that hit you in the mouth. Back then you earned your stars on Friday nights under the lights, not at some 7-on-7 camp in a Nike shirt. We got kids committing to us right now and I guarantee half of them have never run a full practice in August heat without their water bottle and a trainer right there. Coach Erk Russell would have run these kids until they quit, and the ones that stayed, those were the ones that mattered. I do not care about the recruiting rankings or the scouting reports. I want to know who is going to put their face in the fan on 3rd and short against Auburn. That is what built this program, not some highlight tape.
