It was my (and everybody here) impression that the donors would be stepping up to make RR first class a haul he could win with. So far I have only seen A QB (TA&M), LB (UNC), and a TE (UI) from P5 schools. Looks like a lot of JuCo and small G5 schools. I see a lot of JaxSt but lets not pretend that JaxSt could complete in the Big12.
I was surprised Lathan seemed open to returning then signed elsewhere. That seemed to be a funding issue. Are we not able to pay the going rate 2nd and 3rd tier athletes? I understand the Bluebloods are going to out bid us, but I don't expect other Big12 schools to do he same.
So is it funding? Coaches not in place yet? Or Coaching philosophy?
Vernon, Keno, have you talked to any of those guys that turned us down for others?
