You're always going to miss on recruits but with NIL such a force now you can't make obvious mistakes like Rocco Becht. It's not that Rocco is all-world but he wanted to come to WVU, his parents are both grads who love WVU, and his dad is in WVU's HOF. I wasn't sure how good he could be and I covered him in person several times so I wasn't hard on WVU about it but then again I'm not paid millions to evaluate players. I'm not really being critical of Neal here as much as making the point that player evaluation will have to be excellent at WVU in the future. If you're not the team with the most NIL money you have to be the best at evaluations.
