Ok but we are playing school with about same enrollment now.   We are not still playing teams with 1200 plus 

Ok I agree with u on that but if T would have never left we would not be talking about talent is not there.  

Most of those years they had a 1200 enrollment or more. Now under 700. Just those numbers say a loss of some talent.

If you are talking football, then yes. But keep it in perspective. You had two Hall of Fame coaches prior to now. Most would expect a drop. The fact is WO-S has been spoiled with having two HOF coaches over a 45 year period. Also a very experienced coaching staff over those years, That is something that many many schools dream of. Welcome to the real world. lol

It’s funny for 44 years Hooks and Thompson never had a drop off in talent.
