We're not in Civil's top 11
Whelp, these days money talks and ^%$^&%$ walks with these kids
I believe the schools with larger NIL budgets and more recent final 4 exposure make it more difficult for schools with very good programs to compete for the 5-star athletes. Similiar to twenty years ago we may have to continue to develop our players and our system to compete for the top ten rated players. Evaluating HS players will be even more important now. Baylor doesn't have anything to hang its head over. We have come close to signing some "game changers". As the program grows and more success is achieved recruiting will also grow.
CKM would make a difference......
We didn't always get them when she was here. Those here who followed recruiting well over the years could provide a list of names. I can readily think of Van Lith right off the top I think the large state schools have always had an advantage over us. And face it, while many here love Waco, it is not on the list of "hot" places to go to school. Some may have just not wanted to go to a religous-oriented university. It takes more than the coach to pull them in, especially now with NIL and for those schools that have donors that will get ridiculous on throwing money at players, the game has changed completely.
