i don't believe i am overly sensitive about the tone of the article and don't read it as something that is complimentary about the tcu program.
what i find is an article written with language that is derogatory towards the players signed by tcu and is inaccurate in others.
take this backhanded compliment:
"An impressive feat, to be sure, but far more notable is that he and his staffs have largely done so by digging up diamonds in the rough and not only surviving but thriving on what’s oftentimes the scraps left behind from regional recruiting powers and college football’s blue bloods."
scraps? scraps? andrew coker is scraps? a player texas tried to desperately pull away from tcu and failed before offering the higher rated hookin.....wait, hookfin was higher rated and rate he only got a texas offer after texas couldn't pull coker from tcu......huh
additionally, who are these regional recruiting powers he mentions? if texas and ou are the blue blood programs in the big 12 which regional recruiting powers have recently pulled better classes than tcu?
if you look at the last four classes in the big 12 guess which program has been ranked 3rd behind ou and texas? tcu
then we have this gem:
"This often indescribable reality was evident last cycle as Patterson had to venture north and sign four-star quarterback and Iowa Gatorade Player of the Year, Max Duggan, as the headliner of his 2019 class. Furthermore, not only is an Iowa native the headliner of TCU’s class, but the top-ranked in-state signee, Wichita Falls Hirschi running back Daimarqua Foster, ranked outside of the top 35 in the state."
texas last year signed the #6 dual threat quarterback prospect in the nation out of png. funny thing is that quarterback from iowa was the #5 dual threat quarterback prospect in the nation. so it is a bad thing to go get a better prospect?
the author fails to mention that 14 of the 25 players texas signed were from out of state and 27 of the first 68 players signed in mensa's first three classes were from out of state.
the one point he did miss is that tcu has dropped off in the metroplex the last few years and a legitimate question is how much have the frogs been hurt in recruiting in the metroplex when kenny perry left the program.
