I’m here to give Dabo credit where it’s due on a decision he made that I (and several of you) didn’t understand at the time. Hindsight is 20/20, that’s for sure.
When Dabo made the executive decision to offer Sammy Brown and HBS early, a lot of us questioned the methodology. Why have such a firm stance on something and then break it? And why specifically for these guys?
At the time, before we found out that he was always going to go to the Gamecocks and would eventually actively recruit against us, I was wondering why this special exception wasn’t given to Kam Pringle…the apple of our OL recruiting eye at the time at our biggest position of need.
Well played Dabo. You read the room, knew where and when to strike, and executed flawlessly. I’ll have my crow rare with salt and pepper, please.
