Carter is disappointing to me. Wright wasn't as much because I just never thought he was coming after Archie left. Carter looks like he was dramatically under-recruited (I think his next best offer may have been Iona). He looks pretty good on tape (albeit every d1 player looks good on their highlights). I just thought him being under-recruited unlike MW gave us a good chance to keep him. Him prepping makes sense though, I have a gut feeling he's going to end up at a good power 5 the next year. Tough loss but understandable all around.
This stuff has to be expected when there's a coaching change. Unless there's a retirement or clear succession plan that recruits are aware of, this happens. It's about minimizing fallout and staying upright, even if you're not as good for a year or 2. No reason to think that won't happen.
