Nolebull813 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 It should say he won't recruit schools that take Texas players who WANT to come to their team. I don't care for IMG, but no one is holding a gun to these players head. They know what IMG is all about and if they want to leave their family, friends, girlfriend, prom, and every other thing you get ftom the traditional high school experience then that's their choice. He should have said he won't recruit KIDS who WANT to leave Texas for other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCBlackhatter Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm glad UGA did not let this stop them from recruiting Nauta, who left Buford to play at IMG his senior season. Nauta will be a force the next 2-3 years and could be the highest drafted TE in his class when the time comes. To say this will make Texas high school coaches not want their players going to Baylor is just crazy. Then again Texans are odd creatures when it comes to high school football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thc6795 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Not sure many kids from IMG want to go to Baylor. Baylor needs the IMG types more then IMG types need Baylor. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotBigdaddybloom Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 IMHO, the IMG bashing is juvenile. Where were you when Bosco was using steak to recruit or DLS whose district has always been on either side of the Mississippi! Times change, stop belly aching and have ur team step up. I doubt anyone that has expressed displeasure has been personally effected anyway. All holier than thou bs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LOSer Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 This is the kind of insular thinking that has led to one national championship in 45 years for the state of Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real talk. Texas colleges put pride before championships.

Every other national champion had a great core of in state players with a compliment of top national players. Obviously places like Oklahoma and Nebraska need about 95 percent oos, but the Florida schools, USC, Alabama, Ohio State all rely on a good mixture of in state recruits and out of state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like the Canes of the 90's and early 00's they recruited FL and were dominate. I really think what the problem is now is all these so called experts grading these kids. Most of them have reached their max potential. Then they get into school and are just ok. While Div2 and schools like TCU recruit the 2 and 3 star kids who are still developing.

AztecPadre Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 This fool is a moron for not recruiting any players from the school with the most talented players. I say fine with me. Leaves more for the rest. But can't wait to see what happens when he signs his first IMG player. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotBigdaddybloom Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 So a coach whose job is predicated on recruiting and recruiting well, won't recruit players because they were recruited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 This is stupid on Baylors part. You have all the talent anyone could scout in one location. But you dont wanna recruit IMG? Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Then again this Baylor. And given the recent BS theyve been through I expect their recruiting to be weak for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
