A lot of this has already been talked about in this thread but if those are the narrowed names: Luper is older but was at TCU for awhile (2013-2019) and had at least a larger title (co-offensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator). He's also got some recruiting skins on the wall at Auburn and Ok State (per his Mizzou bio). McKenzie continues to hit the Georgia recruiting area base. Barthel is a bit different with the Big Ten footprint but has the NFL coaching experience. Also seems to be a do more with less developer at the stops he's been at? Maybe?

This genius did about 2 hours ago. Oh, wait. You're right. You didn't say he was lazy. You just said he "didn't want to" and that his "nah, I'm good" answer irritated you and hoped the next guy would while suggesting that he was being pushed out the door because he wasn't recruiting which is the majority of most running back coaches' jobs. That definitely doesn't imply you thought he was lazy. And yall, I 100% get Velton Gardner was a warm body after injuries and not the savior of the room. It's just even within the last cycle it showed Choice pivoting that when they needed depth because the room got decimated by injuries, he went out and did the work. But seriously, in the years before that, who would you recruit out of the transfer portal to compete with Bijan and Roschon? There's only the tiniest sliver of an argument for adding another last year with Baxter, Brooks, and Keilan Robinson. This year, fine, make the argument but it was still a room with some experience and talented freshman coming in. It wasn't barren until injuries hit.

You're right. Tashard Choice is a lazy recruiter. You have to go all the way back to....2024....to see the last time he recruited a transfer running back. His laziness in recruiting is only outpaced by his inability to get our running backs into the draft. I hope our next RB coach remembers that not only is it recruiting top 10 in the nation running backs out of high school, you have to immediately try to find their replacements in the transfer portal instead of riding them into first round picks.

Yeah, I'm sure it's been discussed before but I wonder/worry that the shorter portal window will lead to more fuckery about holding on to coordinators until the window is closed knowing full well they'll be fired once time has elapsed. When the portal was open longer, the school would have to sit on the lame duck coordinator for longer but now it seems pretty reasonable to "take 2 weeks" to decide about the future of a coach. In the interim, it locks in any player who would have left if their coach left and gives the new coordinator until April to try to keep them in the boat. -

Maybe this shakes loose a few people. Reuben Bain had a down year after his freshman year but I think was injured? I'm not sure who else on the line has the size and eligibility as I think several of their defensive tackles are 4th or 5th year players. -

Just my opinion but we need a back that is a runner not a walker. -
Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

I also love the fact that anyone with "tons of insider knowledge of the sip locker room" that paints it negatively is a glorious insider bringing truth to the masses whereas someone with "tons of insider knowledge of the sip locker room" that says good things is clearly a sip spy and troll. -

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Genghis replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
I think it's likely much more that soccer is often one of the first sports that kids do because when they are really young it's "here's a ball, and a field, go run around" and is the intro to team sports. Same with tee-ball but that requires more equipment. Football takes a lot more equipment, kids get started later for safety reasons, it's not played everywhere, etc. So most kids start in soccer and then transition out. Or if they are tall they get told to play basketball and then may transition out. You'll get the occasional didn't play basketball but then all of a sudden end up tall and so be "late to basketball" in that sense.
