So let’s just assume he does.
While true.. you also need guys that are 100% bought into the vision and we don’t know if Bolton was going to buy into TJ’s new culture.I get the thought.... but going asking TJ to show progress in year one with 12 new players isn't fair either. There are good players on the roster who can play in the Big 12. It is much easier to sell the program to his first recruiting class finishing above .500.
Keeping the high level players to build a core for in the next two years is important to set up Otz's tenure as coach.
We. Contacted. Him.Again, not saying that we should have honored the offer. I'm saying that I can see why the kid would be pissed. Jesus, he's an 18 year old. They aren't the most logical. But TJ should be able to anticipate that and deal with it. Isn't that supposed to be his strength?

Agreed! You have to put the most important things first. Things that are going to be here. That is, setting things up for his family to move, finding a staff, identifying quality players, and I'm sure a hell of a lot more things.
Bain pulled that out of his ass? Not surprised.That's not true FWIW
What's so hard to understand about my 2 comments?
Guys that average 19 points in a Power 6 conference aren't going to a new school based on playing time. That's some delusional expectations if people think TJ will come in and need to get a player of that caliber.
We should be competing with Kansas for players, not Eastern Michigan and Siena.
Carr who will be the most heavily recruited transfer maybe in history and will hsve his pick of Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, etc.
Kansas was in contact but he never had a committable offerBain pulled that out of his ass? Not surprised.
We. Contacted. Him.
Except one isn't even an employee yet, just a potential employee the old boss said they would hire but they never even filled out the paperwork... Your decision not to hire him afterall would come directly from you, and not the lead recruiter who has had contact with him already? You must not be that busy of a boss. Also you would handle this within 2 days of starting your job. Twins already said ISU reached out and said they didn't want him, just wasnt tj personally from the sounds of it.This is such a dumb comparison to begin with, but yea, when you only have 15 employees and 12 of them are minimum wage employees, it’s certainly not hard to do.
Bingo. Plus we contacted him and told him we weren't interested
Awesome!
Forget it. We're in the early stages where TJ can walk on Lake Laverne and turn water into Busch Lite. Right now he could shoot someone in the middle of Welch avenue and not lose any fans.We’ve known about this since Wednesday. If we knew about it by then, TJ knew about it before. Not that he could have reached out in that time, but he certainly could have drafted a text template to text to them over the course of days since he took over.

I hope not. Otherwise he will open it to years of male enhancement pills, sex drive, and Costco emails. Good luck calling any more recruits if he has to spend the time to sort through all that!I wonder if he gets his old email back
