![]() It's concerning since last month we had a substantial lead, then dropped to 5. Sands has deep ties to the state, and this could develop into a major issue.

I don't personally know the poster you referred to in your post.....but apparently most of the people over there seem to consider him very reliable. It does seem odd that 2 weeks ago we led according to the insiders, and we're now #3 or #4. |

![]() Everette Sands. No personality. Has a cockiness that rubs recruits, high school coaches and parents the wrong way. I don't mind coaches being straightforward with a recruit, but let's not be so blunt and dismissive.
It's okay to tell RB recruits you have a priority back (Derrell Scott), but at least do it with diplomacy. Had to be a reason Elijah Hood scratched USC off the list a couple hours after working out at the showcase. I think it was more than SOS not being here when Nick Chubb visited twice for him to have a bad taste concerning USC. I don't think recruits will come right out and say they don't like a particular coach, but I never heard any RBs say anything complimentary about him, either. And what was the reason Derrell Scott decided not to come to USC? I think we all know the answer. |

But, the emphasis we placed on him was paramount. He was our #1 back on the board, coaching staff made it clear he was priority one. Sands made this crystal clear to all backs that visited USC. I honestly think we could of landed a major back from the 2014 class. Regardless how we felt about DS, Sands failed to land his #1 back. |

![]() So sands is a brutal honesty guy. I think the guy is a good coach but he apparently thinks he can coach up anyone. Williams/scarlett/whoever.

I just don't understand how this continues to happen. If we miss out on Williams and our other top RB targets this cycle, I can't wait to hear what the apologists have to say about that. |

![]() Ugh not good news to hear about. Losing Jay Graham hurt a few years ago. I think all of our coaches are pretty good except for Sands and Robinson.

![]() I think Sands is good from a coaching standpoint, but to say his recruiting leaves a lot to be desired would be a compliment.

![]() I thought one of the primary skills our RB coach was supposed to bring to the staff was his recruiting skills. This is definitely concerning....
