Stephen Box – “This what happens when a GOAT points out an issue & gets slammed for it. He goes out & uses it to his advantage. Does it better than anyone else, i.e. 2023 may be the best recruiting class in UofA history. Probably in NCAA history. Then he’ll be ridiculed for it & people will cry about how “unfair” it is.”
