    Teams like Vandy, UK, and the cocks get RBs often enough that tear us a new one. They are out there, just gotta find them.

    I hope that happens because it's exactly RB success that's going to help us recruit RBs.

    I think everyone expected Texas and aTm to flood the market with oil money. It's coming true.

    It’s not as often as it seems and that’s just our weak front 7 from time to time.

    Most of what I know about the state of Texas is from sterotypes so I may be off base but I wouldn't doubt a lot of the oil money comes from guys who are "all hat and no cattle." They're granpappies had cattle and then they were replaced by oil rigs.

    Only Watkins was a top 100 player. So not much different than what we have working in my opinion. I mean hell. We have Corey f’n Raymond. And led for 3 5 star corners and might not get one of them. In my opinion seider would look like you average recruiter again if at Uf

    Not trying to be a downer. Just real. I love my gators and will pull for them no matter what. And i really like Napier. But something is going on behind the scenes that is holding us back… no matter how good of recruiters we have

    It really didn’t have to be Seider it could of just been someone that was younger and has experience recruiting FL. Chad Scott from WVU would of been solid or Kevin Smith when he was at Ole Miss before Miami snatched him up.

    I've heard that term, and, I like it. I've got a long list of close family that have lived in TX who have told me that oil money is still a big source of prominent wealth there. I never lived there myself, but, that was/is my impression.

    Show me the money. Nobody cares about the warm and fuzzies. There are many great personalities in college coaching but these kids only have one bank account.
