If he intends to build for the long term then he is hitting the high schools and the high school recruits hard. The exception would be the JUCO QB market for mid-term only.

Honestly, my guess is that this recruiting trip is likely more about talking with coaches than players. Like I said, just a guess, but logical given the time constraints. 

On his way he might stop at JUCOs, but from his interview, it sounds like he is doing day trips rather than the overnighters he might need to get into the state further.

In our little Central Texas district we have the following: LSU, Bama, SMU, Rice, Baylor, Kansas, Texas, NM State, etc and ZERO going to UNT.  I know our OL wanted to check out UNT to play some DL but UNT didnt give him any sniffs once he tore his ACL this summer.  Went on his only official visit to Kansas and committed on the spot.  Sad

I'd have a list of Texas HS kids who have committed to these schools: ULL, ULM, Arkansas State, UTSA, Texas State, and UTEP in this state and I'd go meet with as many of them as I could f2f that is possible. I'd have an itinerary set to visit those schools in a Texas loop, starting in DFW, head over to East Texas, down to Houston, over to Central Texas, and West Texas. If I can't get in front of the recruit, I get in front of his high school coaches and move on to the next stop.

I would be spending a few "Quality" minutes with coaches in Katy, Aledo, and Allen. I would also look at game film for the OL's in Euless, the WR's at Southlake and make some personal phone calls. No time to slow down now, so full speed ahead coach!

I would draw a circle with a 75 mile radius around Denton and then pop my head in and introduce my self to as many of these coaches as possible.  This week is not about getting or flipping recruits, its about making or re-enfrocing relationships that will help once his staff is in place and real recruiting begins in January

Just a reminder that we are in the dead period for HS recruits.  No phone or in person contact until after the first of the year.  However, meeting with coaches is fair game.

I believe electronic contact is still permissible.

I would be looking for a 30 something year old that never played in College after High School ..... sorry 

 

If we sign him we could always try to get FFR back as the mascot

Dead period doesn't start until next Monday December 14.

what district? You coach?

I believe that starts Monday, the 14th.

I imagine he has a shortlist of Texas HS guys he was looking at already. So if it were me, I'd do that. I'd hone in on the top-10 guys he thought could play at UNC, but were hesitant to commit. 

He probably hits them in person but on the way stops by the important HS on the way. He likely can't hit *every* HS with his time constraints, but likely hits on the ones he already has relationships with from whatever he has at UNC. That's what I'd do. Definitely swing by Guyer, Ryan, Argyle, a handful of DFW-area schools with good programs on the first day then head out to wherever the next closest guy on the aforementioned list.
