Baby Gronk's Dad is probably having a stroke right now. He was taking his 10 year old around the country to colleges and doing these photoshoots. For those that don't know about this fraud, do a quick Google search.

Sadly, they're local to DFW. Frisco, I believe.

@HarryI wonder if this is related to the Ohio State AD talking about recruits starting to ask to be paid to make visits? Are they using the justification that they are posing in the school's uniform?

Yep, and the Dad was busted for selling steroids a few years ago as well.

Did not know that but also not surprised. Doesn't he claim he was a top prospect destined for the NFL if it weren't for a bad knee injury?

Yeah I heard that as well.

Zach Barnett’s article explains why this is a good thing and something schools want. 

Barnett is spot on: recruiting staffs need someone there to be the bad guy, and that can't be anyone on campus, it has to be the NCAA.

The coach in charge of the unofficial will not care about the time wasted by other staffers and those staffers don't have the power to say no unless the NCAA does it for them.

Without an outside force stepping in everybody will rightly feel like they are in a race where they have to do this, as otherwise the unofficial 4/5 star recruit on his visit will say:

"but the other university DID it! You guys don't like me / are no fun /don't respect my team mates I brought along."

Recruits only get so many Official Visits (I think it's 3)but are allowed to schedule as many Unofficial Visits as they want (because the school doesn't pay for it). In my daughters experience going through the volleyball recruiting process, the Visit experience was the same for her whether it was Official or Unofficial, the only difference is whether I had to pay for travel, lodging and food or not.  She loved the photoshoot at each of the schools and would look back at those pics, imagining herself representing that school, during the decision process. I guess I can see how local schools might get abused by recruits bringing friends along on visits, but to me that's more of the schools fault for not making it clear who the visit is for and what the recruit can expect vs anyone they bring along. I'm not a fan of this decision.

This changed this year --
The NCAA allows recruits an unlimited number of official visits to Division I schools. Recruits are limited to one per school, unless there is a head coaching change after their visit, in which they are permitted a second visit.

Is that new? 2021 volleyball recruiting didn’t work that way.  If that’s the case then I can see how the rule change would make sense.

The NCAA Division I Council announced on April 13, 2023 that they would no longer limit the number of official visits recruits can make to NCAA member schools. The change went into effect on July 1.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      Are any of these fired coaches defensive minded. They know the AAC and could focus on one angle of the incredible game. GMG

      Tulsa fired Wilson with a 7-16 record. Morris has a record of 10-13 with two of those wins vs Tulsa.

      Why should we care much about high school recruits anymore? I would focus on recruiting Sun Belt/CUSA, D2, D3, JUCO and NAIA STUDS. Guys who have proven themselves at a higher level. Along with some P4 drop downs who have also gotten reps but have suffered a setback and are looking for an opportunity to make an impact. There is no reason to develop a high school player anymore. If a high school player is ready to step on the field and compete NOW, let’s get him. Until the rules change or our NIL gets to a level where we can hang on to good guys for multiple seasons (which will probably be never) then team-building is year-to-year proposition. Get the guys who have reps at higher levels and have spent time in college weight programs. We will get poached by the schools higher in the current food chain than us, we need to be doing the same to the schools below us. That is just how it is right now and if we can properly identify and acquire that available talent, we can win. Both of our basketball teams have successfully done this.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      "Wilson's firing marks the sixth job to open in the AAC (along with those at Charlotte, Rice, Temple, East Carolina and FAU). Tulsa, Charlotte and FAU fired their coaches before the finish of their second seasons, a sign that the expected length of coaching tenures in the Group of 5 is shortening." Here is the ESPN article about the AAC and G5 trend... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42581760/sources-tulsa-firing-kevin-wilson-latest-blowout-loss

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.
