Should they look at bringing in a GM of the football team? May not help in state recruiting but would be helpful for the overall picture which can always be just that much better? Know you were a fan of the idea a few years ago, where are you now on it?
Really? Because 11-1 and a spot in the CFP says otherwise. Sark and co know what they’re doing. The narrative you bring up every month is old. The State of Texas just isn’t as important when you recruit nationally.
That's the kind of thing a fan says when the confirmation bias involved is so strong that they just say anything.
I got plenty of faith in Billy Glasscock and his team. Sark has all the data points he needs to call the shot.
I think Sark rates/values/recruits the same whether they are in state or out. But, honestly, you talk with more insiders and his associates than I ever will. I’ll defer that to you. Also, I respect your level of concern over this. You have repeatedly stated that it’s not a big deal in the overall scheme of things- just a fact. But, some have taken that seed and are now calling it a major weakness in Sark’s recruiting prowess. If he closes with a top 1 or 2 class, I, personally will consider that line of thinking just silly.
In 2022 we were 8-4. In 2023 we are 12-1 and playing for a Natty. You’re just being silly for the sake of being silly.
I think Texas should have someone with agent experience to help work the Portal.
You're the one that is objecting to the notion that Texas can merely do a little bit better in-state and that it would be of value to do so.
I'm not telling you it's the end all, be all.... just that it can be better.
Well, we are doing better than everyone else, and overall recruiting results are excellent. I’m not sure whether I’m “objecting”, or I just think the line of thinking is both unnecessarily negative and irrelevant. If you want to put the word “objecting” in my mouth, have at it.
The results have a lot to do with it. Sark and Co recruit what/who they need regardless of state. Some years you’ll see Texas go harder in state than others a la 2022 OL. Each cycle is different but the need to dominate Texas has diminished as this staff starts to go more National
It's not negative to talk about real things. It's called living in reality.
Some people’s reality is negative, some people’s reality is positive. I choose positive. To each his own. Enjoy your half empty glass.
Except it's not half empty.
Poor team = poor recruiting. You think you would understand that as someone who’s been in the industry.
