I am probably totally wrong. But I do live in Texas. When we were in the Big 12, Nebraska was a thing here. Lots of game watch sights, apparel, bumper stickers, etc. That's not true anymore - Nebraska isn't top of mind with good high school players in TX because they have no exposure to NU.
And if we land McCord, he's a Pa kid. There's coaching connections, again more important.
Heck yeah!
Looking at it from a recruits pov is totally different
PA is more plausible these days, because we play games in that region.
Let's see how it plays it with Rhule. I hope the guy proves me totally wrong.
No, because our coaches have coached in that area, know the coaches there, just like MR knows texas
Do players get homesick? Some do. But not in great numbers
LET'S DO THIS!
Ever notice that our recruits are all-world when they commit, and we can't even remember their name when they decommit?
Seriously though, I think DONU needs to give up recruiting the southern states. Those players aren't going to stick around when mom and dad have to travel 10-12 hours to their nearest home game. That ship sailed a good while back.
Im 4 pages behind so maybe already echoed but if we quit recruiting the south we might as well fold up shop now and save those millions (from stadium renovations) for psychotherapy.
As for the “great get gone forgotten” piece it’s spot on. I get the pro Nebraska side of it but it’s literally comical.
Yeah my point was, the Texas guys aren’t sticking since we left the Big 12. We’ve graduated 11 Texans that played four years here since 2015. So an average of less than 1.5 per year.
We can debate “why” that has been. Maybe Rhule can change it. We all hope so.

We haven't had many Texas players on the roster the last few years because Riley and Frost didn't target it like Rhule is. Riley went after California (Calibraska) and Frost went after Florida (going back to his UCF days).
The notion that we can't be successful recruiting Texas is silly because we haven't tried very hard the last several years.

Bingo. That was the first thing I stated as well but it went completely ignored as it dismantles the original argument.
I was looking at one of The Oneders threads that includes everyone who has transferred out, which I think tracked back to players recruited in 2018 and on. I was also going mostly off memory of where the kids were from so I could be off, but I counted up 7-8 who have transferred out from Texas, which also averages a little less than 1.5 year.
While you and I are using different sample sizes, you combine the two and we're looking at about a 50% rate of players from Texas sticking til graduation. This is pretty in line with the overall statistics for graduation rate from recruits, so it doesn't seem like Texas guys are leaving here at a higher rate than the norm.
