Can’t be out-bagged by an SEC school and expect the kid to choose us. All things equal, a majority are going to the school in the dominant conference, with more primetime games, and more NFL draft picks (in recent history).
Only hope is to out-bag at a position we ooze development in like Cantwell. Otherwise, pony up the cash, or just go after the position in the portal (which we’ll also have to pony up the cash for). So either way, money talks.
just keep the contact flowing with all these DT misses, and circle back should the season play out how we hope it will.
