I have been to exactly one part of the Plains. I had KU and a hospital in Kansas City as clients. Did one trip to Lawrence and KC a few years back. KC actually was not bad at all. Lawrence was an above average college town. But outside of that I couldn’t tell you the first thing about the...

I definitely remember LCE and Gogeta specifically saying no chance mom signs off. It seems like this was one lesson the staff learned. Correct me if wrong, but I though the parent’s sign off is a big part of accepting commitments now, particularly early ones for future classes.

Was that on him or his mother?

That’s fair and all valid. Did not know that. I mean obviously the biggest differences are Lincoln Riley, a lot of Ws, and guys being drafted high... but they still have to convince guys to move to Oklahoma.

Is Norman, OK that much better than Lincoln? Obviously winning helps immensely and having the right coach is part of it, but Oklahoma is recruiting nationally at a VERY a high level.

Wonder where he winds up. Have to think FSU is a possibility for him.

Great... our coaches will waste more time and resources chasing this guy instead of expanding their board and moving on.

Yep... when he came to town without his mother and then left town without a commitment that told the story. As usual the staff had no idea how to read the signals.

For those of us without twitter, why don’t you tell us?

I honestly have no idea what you are even talking about and I don’t think you do either. We generally do know the current board and offers through social media and reports. We have seen new offers get tossed out or new names get brought on OVs as guys commit elsewhere. It is not behind the...

Personally, I don’t think the class we have right now is that great. We have great RBs, really good DL, solid WRs, and I like Van Dyke. But I do not see a lot of speed, I see an unbalanced class, and more of the developmental guys are at positions where we need people to play ASAP. I like...

Well your opinion is not rooted in any form of logic or common sense and ignores all evidence and past behaviors of this staff, so to come to these ridiculous conclusions that our recruiting strategy and results at LB, CB and the OL (our three biggest needs) are somehow acceptable can only come...

You clearly are hellbent on defending this **** show, so it is useless. However, point by point: 1) No one said that. Again, you recruit the guy AND YOU RECRUIT OTHER OPTIONS IN CASE HE SAYS NO. However, Greene aside, this defensive staff has continually shown an inability to accurately read...

Again - there are always kids that just want to leave the area. That is fine. It is part of the coaches’ job to do due diligence and figure that out to not waste resources and TO HAVE BACKUP OPTIONS! If posters like LCE and GoGeta know this, then the coaches should too. I’m really not sure...

3 lb coaches and not a fully functioning brain when combined.

Then the coaches should probably recruit more than one or two long shots at LB, OT, and CB. It is quite literally their job to either convince you why Missouri and staying home is your best option or figure out that you want to leave home and find the next guy. Keep making excuses for this...

, 100%. It is their job to convince them Miami is the best place for them and simultaneously weed out kids that may be looking for a bag. Why were they not able to seal the deal and have the kid go public when he was in Miami? Even if this is the case, why do they have no backup options lined...

Part of Manny’s job as a coach and recruiter (and the rest of the staff’s) is to figure out who to prioritize and how, especially since we have limited resources. One, twice, three times I get. This is a pattern of four years not being able to read a recruit’s intentions and get stuck on...

[ Duane Starks?

Isn’t their AD also a guy that moved over from the academic side? Pretty sure he has no athletic experience whatsoever.
