Very strange take?
Well, we are both in agreement that recruiting isn't the issue.
Development - we aren't in agreement.
Overall coaching, X's and O's, game management, preparation, in game adjustments - now here I think we are struggling quite a bit too but since the thread was on recruiting (AKA players) I didn't think it was worth discussion.
That leaves your argument of "the weirdest year ever." I think other teams have had to deal with COVID, not having a spring or fall practice, all 3 teams we've lost two new QB's, inexperience at positions, strange school schedule, etc.
I don't know, personally I think you have a strange take. To each their own.
