You have to talk to a kid 4-5 days a week in order to show interest? If anyone tried to talk to me that often I would block them. I would hate that job. Unfortunately, yes. It's a good reason why so many coaches hate recruiting. Quote Link to comment

A lot of coaches will just send some lame a$$ quote or a bible verse or a video clip, but yeah, almost everyday. Basically...they want their name at the top of your texts. Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I would personally rather have all 3 of the big names from the 2022 class. But I think it is a good look if we can keep any high rated guys in state. 1 Quote Link to comment

Are there grade issues? Sounds like AD has lost the excitement of going to minny. Good chance that staff has picked up on that are moving another direction. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Also, we may pitch him on playing receiver, or at least having the option of either. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I have heard that PJ pushes really hard for a commit, like crazy hard. And I bet it works a lot of the time and then some of those kids get back home and not being in his office and pressured probably helps them to sort of re-think things. It seems like he has had a decent amount of kids that have decommitted. 3 Quote Link to comment

Probably got exaggerated, but yeah their strategy seems to be push for as many commits as possible and live with a high decommit rate as they think it over. Quote Link to comment

I imagine it's something like: "You can commit right now or, if you leave this room without committing, we will not hold a spot for you (or you're off our board or something)." 1 1 Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 So...if the speculation is true about this situation affecting the recruiting of our other CB prospects, I wonder in what sort of time frame this will all play out. Quote Link to comment
