Here's another thing that I want to bring up. Recruiting. I heard someone say they aren't sure if he can recruit. First of all, he can win, so I think that's an indicator, but I had little knowledge of how well he recruits outside of his team's performance.
Coastal may have the advantage in recruiting over Liberty on location, but I think Liberty shows better in the facilities and resources category. Obviously Coastal doesn't have the religious aspect and have been the media darling, but Freeze is known as a great recruiter.
I pulled the last three years of 247 recruiting rankings just because I'm lazy and don't feel like doing any more research than that:
2021 - LU 115 vs CCU 81
2022 - LU 98 vs CCU 69
2023 - LU 108 vs CCU 90
that's an average of over 25 teams ahead of us. I guess my question is, do we think Chadwell is a great recruiter or did he just have a benefit of the beach?
