When New Mexico fired Bob Davie and hired Danny Gonzales, I had instant excitement.
I’m not a fan by any means, and I’ve never been to New Mexico in my life. However, I was thrilled they would most likely take recruiting more seriously, so I would be able to follow them more closely.
The next thought that occurred to me is in many ways; they are (re)building the program from scratch. Yes, the team is full of scholarship players. However, even if you haven’t been paying close attention to the team, you likely know they primarily recruited junior college players and usually didn’t start focusing on recruiting until after the season, which isn’t ideal for securing talent.
