It’s been interesting to see the impact of a home run hire for SC. I have to think that what he could bring from OU and the portal had to be a huge part of the reason to go with Lincoln Riley and he hasn’t disappointed.
What also comes with all of the hype and the 13 transfers etc is some pressure and unreal expectations. The video Williams made to announce his signing had a few signals to me that SC could be a place of excellence or just a place full of massive distractions. It will be interesting to see how LR handles that side of the business of SC.
In my opinion the road to win the South still should run thru SLC. They may have the history of being a storied program but it’s quickly becoming ancient history. For the past several years we have dominated the South. We have been to the CCG 3 of the last 4 years. We may not have the 5 stars that they do (yet!) but what has that gotten them the last several years – basically nothing.
The recent facts are Utah puts players in the leauge at the same clip as Oregon, UW and SC. There is no drop off between these giants.
I’m confident that until they come in here and punch us in the mouth – this is our time, our division and nothing else matters. Let them have all the hype – we can have the rest.
Looking forward to seeing the men of troy in RES – should be a doozy
