On the contrary, @donnie_baseball was a fairly strong Willard supporter, so I'd take this as a statement of his belief more than a cheap shot at the former coach. So it's on the level.
Unfortunately the recruiting comparison seems destined to be one of apples-to-oranges given the tectonic shift in the sport these past three years. If somehow things were to regain their previous equilibrium, I'd be inclined to agree.I supported KW to the end, and give him credit for his many successes here. But I do feel as though Sha has recruiting (though that's out the window) and coaching chops that Kevin didn't.
