I feel like I’m taking crazy pills on this Pettijohn recruitment, nobody is talking about this. Two years we led for him, every advantage possible, and in the span of OV to now (3 weeks) went from singled out leader to completely out of the race.
DL? Kind of yeah. Everything else? No
If I’m being honest, only a small meltdown so far. People seem pretty keyed into the fact something is off this cycle
Hope the coaches had fun on their vacation
Absolutely stunning game here between Germany v Spain
Idk, sure as shit sounded like it was ringing out “Sco” last night
Messi really breaking the Panenka rule
Sarks got work to do. Plain and simple. On to Lockett and Ffrench
If Bobby is saying the general ask is 500-700k, and then he leverages offers between the two money giants………1.3 would not shock me
I would not point to the outlier and say “this is the way”. We have 20 years of data that correlates recruiting titles to national titles or playoff appearances.
Also, aren’t we tired of anticipating flips in December to make our classes top tier?
You’re not going to get where you want to if you close off the guys who prioritize NIL. The goal is a natty, and some players are gonna demand (and be worth) the max and those guys are gonna be essential to win it
Idk, Flood is a killer and Nansen has a good reputation. Sark was personally recruiting Moore along with Jackson
Some thoughts,
I’m not going to be concerned about WR recruiting. It’s been well stocked for a second now and in the transfer portal we’ll always be big players. French and Lockett are still on the table (and frankly seem like less divas) and we have good relationships with them. We’ll get one of them.
There’s clearly something wrong this cycle with either our approach or how the staff is perceiving the recruitments. If u/MrTheNoodles is right then we didn’t lose this due to NiL but instead by getting out recruited on this. Which should not happen for a home grown player that Sark has coveted since he arrived.
To double down on the previous one, being ahead on Riley Pettijohn and Michael Fasusi for two years, being clear leaders, home advantage, playing time availability, good NIL and then suddenly in the last 3 weeks being out of the race for one and fading against Ou for the other is more indicative of what’s happening this cycle than losing Moore.
-It’s going to be fascinating how Sark adjusts over the next 5 months. Does he stick to what’s worked or does he notice trends and apply new process.
- Lastly, the big loss here is not really Moore. The loss here is the momentum we were building in the state as THE power. Having an OOS school come in and snatch your chain (on the back of your best season in a decade) with the industry watching is wildly embarrassing.
Ehhh, I’d just take DK package and go to Charles and other DTs. Maybe split some off for them but honestly, if the numbers are true, no high school receiver is worth what’s getting thrown around except maybe Smith from last year
Y’all he hasn’t announced yet
Oh god and Kendrick dropped the “Not Like us” video
I would imagine he’s gonna let someone know at some point, and doesn’t want it getting out. Also, I bet he’d like to enjoy the holiday

One of them is going to have to tap at a certain number. If your goal is to build a high end class you have to spread it around and not concentrate it on one or two positions
Nah, it’s more the obvious agent going back and forth and leveraging each offer to get an increase. I get why they’re doing it and I’d do the same. Doesn’t mean I particularly enjoy it. Doesn’t feel like we’re able to leverage development or QB room, how we’ve stacked the offense, proximity to family, relationships developed over years
It’s just, “beat this dollar amount”
And again I get it. Just don’t enjoy it
Houston North baby
