Recruit - Recruit - Recruit

For "connections". It's so blown out of proportion. But I guess HS coaches are going to continue to to try to rattle the chain link fence in hopes that they one day can be like Bobby here in this scenario. To me, it's very overrated.

Duh.

Facts.

Given the way college athletics is setup, patience has shrunk tremendously. There is no more a thing of a 4 or 5 year "plan". Given these said rules, better go get your players and you better go get them fast. Because if you don't get them then someone else will. With that said, I always like to see a team with 0 quit in year 1. Visible and quantifiable results in year 2. In year 3, you better be firing on all cylinders. I didn't create the rules, the NCAA did. Coaches best start using them to their advantage.

Yes, yes he will. No one is saying that players can't leave on their free will. The problem is dumbass, cheating coaches plucking players off of active rosters while they are not in the portal. A program can come pluck Traylor out of his contract, sure. But that program has to pay a literal price to do it, and it's not against the rules. The literal only rule seemingly in existence in the NCAA is to not recruit rostered players. People are doing it and the people doing it are hedging their bets that the NCAA will not do anything about it. And they're probably right, unless of course, Robert Morris or Stony Brook tries to pluck a player. Then, hammer drops. The NFL has more rules in place than college football. This has to be reexamined and tweaked. Then rules have to be enforced by the book.

Lack of PT, change of staff, and the recruit decommits probably have programs that actually have an operable NIL program sniffing around.

He commands 4-6 touches a game, minimum. Maybe new staff will see to it.

Was there cinemark activity for UNT players this week?

Did we seriously punt. I was legitimately kidding. Wow, Phil Bennet riding off into the sunset of dumbassery.

In the context of what you're talking about it's all meaningless. But let me get your thoughts on the idea of punting it away here and preserving a 3 point loss?

Why not sit out in vs utsa last week? Or the season finale? Or homecoming vs FIU? Or the season opener? Or just never play. It's a part of the game. Wonder when contract year NFL players are just gonna hang it up for the year.

I hope Aune can get some pressure off the edge. I hope Aune scrapes and fills from the 2nd level. I hope Aune can have disciplined eyes and trust his athleticism on the back end here.

Yes, your point is clear. It's just not a.good one. He can hyperextend his knee playing pickup basketball and shred his ACL. Blow out his achilles doing agility drills. Get ________ injury at any point in time doing ________ activity. The list is infinite. It wouldn't have hurt him had he went out there and carried the ball a little. He took the trip, at the minimum he could've had a candid conversation with the staff. Such as, "I don't want anyone to know about this conversation, my teammates included, but I would like to be on a pitch count (10-12 carries)." End of conversation. He still gets to go on the trip, not disappoint his alum, be there for his teammates that he claims to "love" and go out a winner. The only part of this I dislike is his last minute withdraw. There were better ways to go about it.

Naw, this whole everybody gets to play especially those of who will be here is at its core, bullshit. You play to win the game. Coaches coach to win the game. Like all games, if the situation presents itself to see some fresh faces, then sure....unless your name is Littrell. We're definitely going to disagree here. And that's fine.

That's bc he's been paaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiddddddddd.

It's different than old man yelling at cloud. Don't wanna play, fine. Tell me earlier. We'll move on without you.

Leave him there. I would. You don't commit to the game, go through the festivities, have a coaching staff gameplan you into the game to just walk away. It's an interim coach, right? Then even easier to leave him there.

This. And this. And more of this. Denton kids have to believe in the hometown.

One and done makes sense if you bring in a HS kid that you have a lot of faith in and get him groomed while the 1 and done player starts.
