'97 - What is the path forward?
97 Cats, want to make sure you saw this, how do you see things playing out going forward? From today until October. Probabilities, smoke you're hearing, etc. I think with the state of our beloved program, there should be no holding back. Thanks

Re: '97 - What is the path forward?
Would love to hear from 97 Cats too. I have to think its going to take some time for the dust to settle but 97 Cats (and many others on this board) kept me sane (and entertained) over the past month.
So as we wait more informed opinions, here is my 2 cents:
While the nucleus coming back if no one transfers is better than what Miller inherited, what kept the Cats from hitting rock bottom that first season was recruiting Solo, DWill and Momo (Kryl not so much). That incoming class gave the program a positive lift and formed the building blocks for an improbably quick restoration. If it turns out the brand has been damaged so much that Miller can no longer recruit effectively, a change will have to be made eventually and, unfortunately in that case, it should be done sooner than later.
