Our recruiting classes under Fleck have been typically in the 30's or 40's. This isn't news to us. We're all aware of where our recruiting has been as we have had multiple discussions here over the years.
I think people here would be in agreement that overall the portal is bad for college sports (from a fan perspective). You can also argue that the portal has been really bad for Ben and generally good for PJ. But I'm pretty sure most fans would just prefer things to be like they were...
Really? I don't think Fleck is really that different than other coaches. They are all full of BS to varying degrees and speak in code because they don't want to give much away. You may just relate to certain personalities more than others.
