Bret Bielema says he’s a better coach now

[TW]

Dwyer had a few guys make it to the NFL, but most of them went through Florida schools. Bielema has done better actively recruiting JUCO players. His straight out decisions aren't that good. Remember how he passed on offering J.J. Watt? I do.

Watt was not highly recruited so he gets a pass there. The Dwyer situation was fluid. Brissette was ready to commit but mom was let’s say less than thrilled, she wanted him to go to Miami. Just to be the mix for some of those kids was a win at the time. And Collins would have went to UW. Just sayin

How long will it take till he can get good kids in there? Been so bad so long might take couple years of showing they can start to win to convince good kids to go there.

With the portal and JC kids it can happen fast , like 2-3 years.

He has already got a 3 star WR out of IMG in Florida and a 3 star kid from Arrowhead. Just sayin
