recruiting taking advantage
I don't know whether we have two additional commitments lined up but with two open ships it would seem that there is an opportunity to take advantage of the momentum and publicity that comes with this win

Personally would love to see them reel in Bibbs. Probably highly unlikely but would be a nice fit along side Pierre.

I've learned over the years that the way to take advantage is not a cinderella appearance every now and then, but a sustained annual ticket to the dance. And I really believe that this team is now in that position. Losing Vee, Kavs and DEVO is not going to be as harsh as losing Smitty and Sly, Chappy, a slew from 1990 and the disruption of of losing Purnell. I really believe that there's easier shoes to fill this time and with Darrell Davis coming in, and the experience that the Freshman, Sophomore and Juniors are getting this season, we're on our way.
But most of all, I believe in Archie to take us to heights we've never been before.

I agree on all counts. No question that one appearance isn't equal to having multiple appearances in a row. But, having two remaining scholarships available right now to capitalize might end up being a good thing.
I also agree on Archie, he was my pick early on and so far I am very happy with the choice

Not never, maybe "in a long time" would be more appropriate
