The 2024 recruiting cycle is at the three quarter pole, but Mel Tucker has barely left the starting blocks.
We were told Mel Tucker was a master recruiter yet evidence seems to be pointing in the other direction.
Mel Tucker forgot the cardinal rule of recruiting: “Recruit Inside out…and win the backyard”
In the last 3 recruiting cycles Mel Tucker and his staff have essentially ignored players within the 250-mile footprint and gone all over the map recruiting 57 players from 18 states.
Mel Tucker’s championship aura is fading faster than a falling star:

Coach Prime is a “prime benchmark” for Mel Tucker!
Coach Prime vs Coach Tucker. You be the judge.
Mel Tucker stays the course and keeps his Offensive Coordinators…but why?
What do they say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a better result?
Georgia’s Championship is stark reminder; Spartan Football is light years from the Promised Land.
Mel Tucker has steadfastly refused to change assistant coaches, which means he intends to “do the same thing” with “the same coaches” and expect a better result. That is not only the definition of “insanity”….it’s also crazy…
