clt says it is clear we expect a gold standard
Well lets see - Healy had one year on a short cycle to sign his first class - which had local 3 stars and transfers, and now is dealing with COVID, so I am not calling judgements on his local recruiting when many local schools arent even playing right now.
As I said before the biggest complaint about Lambert is we werent even in a position to recruit local kids because they had pissed off all the local staffs. They talked mad shit about us. They arent doing that now and by all account are getting along well enough with the Healy staff. Letās see where this class lands and what the next one looks like under a regular recruiting window and fall. If he is signing 3-8 local kids a year then perfect. We donāt need nor should we have a class of all charlotte kids.
Just curious - were you a big Judy supporter? Your hate for all things Mike Hill is just amazing to me when we have improved in almost every measurable metric. The only category he hasnt made a significant improvement in is really large donors and I suspect he has those lined up with the facilities plan that has since been put on hold due to covid.
Hate for all things Mike Hill? Talk about a straw man argument. Cmon man.
Mike is the best thing to happen to this university in the past 10-15 years. Heās made what look like good hires for football and basketball. Heās increased the visibility of the university. Heās connected with fans and alumni,. All things the past AD didnāt do and refused to do. He didnāt like a comment of mine on Twitter once so he had me down for a basketball game and we talked it out. What AD does that? So Iām sold on Hill. Heās what this university needs. Doesnāt mean where there are missteps or gaps that I wonāt point them out.
Dude I get it , youāre sold out. 1000% bought in and enjoy the perks that come with it and you arenāt going to jeopardize that. Just donāt try and smear those who donāt have the same philosophy.

It takes a little time to build those relationships. Healy doesnāt have a track record to point to like Mack Brown. I think heās doing just fine in his second season.

You just have been down on what seems like everything when everything is finally getting better.
I told Judy and her staff yāall do good stuff Iāll say you did good, do stuff poor and Iāll say that too. Wasnāt my fault they failed left and right. This staff on the other hand has been executing against just about everything they need to and meeting or exceeding at least my expectations.
As for perks, not sure what that means. I got a swag box because they showed me the logo back in November of 2019 as they gathered opinions and feedback from various alums and sources. I was told you always speak your mind and if you think this is off then you will tell us. The swag box was mostly, IMO, as a thanks for keeping the logo discussion quiet and not telling the world. The parking up near the stadium might be a perk but Mike did that to get atmosphere at the stadium at Healeyās request - my group, not me, got that after showing up every Gameday. Not to mention it was a strategic giving decision on their part as they have significantly impacted the giving of the folks by putting my group up there including a few capital gifts.
Going to the game last weekend was at the invitation of the Alumni Association not the AD and is the result of supporting their work.
If Iām a sellout at this point because I think things are going good and say that then 
. You just seem to be overly negative about just about everything and I canāt figure out why. I donāt recall you being that way before Mike, but maybe I just donāt remember it. All the things I railed against have been or are being fixed and addressed. When they go the wrong way, Iāll hold them to that as well. I said before and Iāll say again. I donāt want or care about perks or access. I want success. Iām seeing that in nearly all we are doing right now. I just canāt see your angle here.
Glad you are on board with Mike though. Totally agree heās the best thing that has happened in many years!
I think everyone on the board understands that āJudy Rose supporterā is a dog whistle. I mean, we were talking about Healy and recruiting the Charlotte metro area. There was a purpose behind it.
We both agree Hill is great for the university. Some things could certainly be tightened up a bit but overall great job thus far.
Last year you complained about us not having the best class in the conference. Now itās not recruiting Charlotte kids.
Recruiting is going great.
Iāve heard over and overt hat Lambert and his staff pissed off local HS coaches. But Iāve never heard exactly why. I donāt want to derail the thread, but can anyone explain what went down to cause this negative reaction from the local coaches?
Iād like to know that too.
I was told by a local head coach that once Ratliff passed that he never saw another coach fr Charlotte and he sent players to play at App and other schools that could have played for us. He was shocked that he never even got a visit to check out his guys which I think was pretty normal with other coaches
There were twitter posts talking smack about the staff. I canāt recall the coaches names though.
Vance. Mallard creek for sure. You know, two of the top football schools in the area and from both of which you can see the library of our university. 
And from both of which we got a recruit in the 2020 class. But donāt let me distract you from your stupidity.

You know I am really looking forward to this Covid thing being over and having a huge party. My first invite will be Mullins because he definitely seems like a blast in those type of settings. Party on MM!!
I donāt understand some of the comments here. It is clear from looking back on this board that most fans thought Charlotteās inability to harvest some of the good local talent was a problem in the past. Healy identified it as a problem he wanted to work on, and came up with what I thought was a good strategy to do so. So far we are not seeing much in the way of results, but this doesnāt necessarily mean that Healy has failed. Or that his plan has failed. Maybe it just takes more time. What it does not mean though is that recruiting local talent was not the plan, or is not important. Measurably, we are not there yet, and that seem like fair discussion on a message board.
You donāt understand? Let me explain it. There are a group of 10-15 posters who are all essentially the same people. If you have a different opinion, slightly or otherwise, than those 10-15, then youāre a Judy Rose supporter or stupid or whatever moniker they would like to come up with. In some cases, those people had the same opinion you did at one time as you point out. But since one disagreed, they must all disagree and insult until you get tired and just stop posting. The echo chamber is then restored and all is well.
I donāt know anyone on this board well enough to say they are stupid or support this person or that person and vice versa.
You whines about the cost of gear at 704
You whine about the lack of recruiting in Charlotte
You whined that we didnāt have the best recruiting class in Cusa last year.
You whined about the offense at UNT.
Thereās your common thread.
Charlotte for the last two years has been making lemonade and youāre going thru the trash complaining about seeds.

Exhibit A your Honor.
And for the record only one of these is true. The rest straw man.
Iāve always heard trailer park parties get real rowdy. Looking forward to it.
Is that how itās done guys?
A lot of truth in the "you dont understand " post.
It hasnāt failed. Weāve had one full class since Healy arrived and got 8 local guys in it which is about half the class. That doesnāt even account for the local transfers. This class isnāt done yet.
