I believe your position is that it is a big miss not having Tunsil, LT & RNat SEC media days.
First, I would not agree with having Tunsil present. I believe we have seen more coverage begats more coverage.
Second, while marketing a program is of huge importance to recruiting, there is the issue of keeping the minds and the hearts of the players. Who gets sent to media days is - Coach Freeze to some extent communicating what he values in the program - production, hard work, sacrificing for the good of the team. Mike Hilton flat out produces, he works hard, and he changes positions, masters that position and delivers. CJ has shown great toughness and leadership, and he too produces. And to my knowledge these guys take care of business off the field. Yes Robert and LT do a lot of the same things, are much better known and will be drafted very high. But in terms of being symbols for what Freeze wants his 85 men to do, I can't think of better representatives than Hilton, and Johnson.
This is not to be critical, just another perspective.
ps - new podcast is going to be great - thanks!
