Recruiting in 04 we got 1 guy that was a 3 star and the rest were 2 or lower. Last year we got 11 three star or higher guys. AAC has helped more than CUSA or whatever we were in then.
Ended the year 2003-2004 having our true freshman burn his red shirt with three games to go in a 3-9 season. Then our record setting QB wearing a USF helmet at the Hula Bowl. Recruiting sucked, coaching sucked, morale sucked, academics sucked, facilities sucked, coaches pay sucked. But just add Scott Frost and everything would have been rainbows and unicorns.
