Oh you think each school gets an even amount and recruits don't leave state? Ok now I understand your confusion.
The purpose of that chart is stupid. Making an argument that there are more quality recruits in California than Texas is even more stupid.
He obviously used that charge to demonstrate there are more recruits in Texas than literally everywhere else.
Do you seriously think New Jersey is more of a recruiting hotbed than Georgia, Florida, California and Texas?
One point of this thread is that you can hunt New Jersey for recruits because there is less local competition. At no point do they every imply that there are more recruits in California.
So, you are arguing against the premise of the article you linked? Makes sense.
You think it is easier when there is more competition. Your article only takes into account the FBS school in the state. It doesn't account for those who play teams in that state. So in addition to the 12 FBS teams fighting for hometown recruits, you also have 4 more teams in the B12 plus the 13 more teams in the SEC. How many other P5 schools play California schools?
Look, at the end of the day, Leach has done the same or worse than Rhoads. There is no logical reason to think he would magically do better in Iowa.
More recruits available in comparison to schools seeking them. Yes, Texas has more raw numbers. But Texas has more competition for those kids. Therefore, it should be easier for WSU to recruit California than ISU to recruit Texas. We have more schools to content with. That was the point of the chart. Not my chart, not my article. He was the one who tried to use it to bolster his point that Leach would have an easier time here than there. Simply isn't true.
PJ has one great attribute and that is he is one heck of a recruiter. And that's exactly what u need at ISU. We've lacked talent across the board for years. At this level u can hire a good OC and DC to coach the games. PJ is a recruiter and a darn good one. We've had successful assistants as HCs. What we've not had is a guy who is known as a stud recruiter. Talent wins more times than not.
Greg Schiano is another name I wouldn't be opposed to. He turned a perennial dumpster fire that was Rutgers into consistent post-season participant.
He has a hell of a lot more connections in Texas, how is that hard for you to grasp?
Chris Ash would be the perfect fit for ISU. He should be option A B and C if there is an opening
At the end of the day, he is currently coaching at a school in a situation similar to ISU. And how is he doing?
What about looking at Briles son at Baylor? He might know a few things about recruiting in Texas and offense. And i understand to make that system work, you also have to have the players.
He'd be here for 1 year (maybe 10 months) and then bolt. There is a reason he is nicknamed "the nomad"
Good shout. I'd say high risk/high reward there which, bar a guy with a track record of turning around a dumpster fire at a P5 is the route I'd want to go. Shot in the dark, Hoiberg style. Nothing to lose. Absolutely nothing to lose and I hope more people start realizing that we're at the bottom right now. It's time to start picking ourselves up not stay in the gutter.
While I appreciate the risk..it's too great of one probably. Taking a big risk in football is far more damaging to an AD then bball. You screw up in bball and u can turn it back around in 2 years or even less..but football could be affected for 4-5 years. Costing a ton of $$
I get that, under normal circumstances, but you're obviously not hitting rock bottom yet. I already have.
