I was there also, and I had to look up Mark Campbell's record...Wow! They recruited an absolute winner who is also a tremendous recruiter himself. He will be a star in the Big !2, I'm afraid!

Ya he could be a potential force that will have to be reckoned with in the future. His secret weapon is his brother - he is a big part of Marks success !!

But is he going to be able to get portal additions like he did last year? It all centered around Prince. That is what brought in HVL. There aren't many 7th year seniors out there that are 6'7". I am sure the guy can coach, but can you consistently get those experienced elite players into the Big XII versus the SEC and B1G? And how much does NIL play into it. And the PAC teams are no longer there to get player from as they decayed last year.

You no longer build teams like we grew up on and for myself I have no idea what goes on in the background concerning enticing players to your school. Are we to the point where a particular school hits the jackpot one year with players for one year and the next is a relative desert? Going to be interesting going forward. You could have Houston or Cincinnati or Arizona St. or whoever find a donor that wants to buy a championship. Nothing to stop them now. Bottom line there is no way to predict the future now by looking at what you have today. You don't even know who will be on your roster next year, especially if the bulk of your production is seniors.

You also have the potential for a super coach in the XII to be poached away by the SEC or B1G. It is sad to say, but especially after UT and OU left, the XII is probably the 4th best conference now. The biggest recruits may be looking to either play in the best leagues or receive the biggest NIL checks. That may apply to the coaches as well. Will the most successful coaches want to stay in a league that looks weak compared to others? It is down to that, I am afraid.
