I'm not sure how much Bud's retirement really affects our recruiting - he never had an impact commensurate with his reputation or on-field success - I have always been astounded by how many D recruits we'd miss on (especially in VA) who I thought would have been running to B'burg to play for Bud... my guess is that Justin Hamilton being younger and perhaps more personable/ relatable might actually improve our D recruiting.. Time will tell, of course!
