I think GP just understands that it’s an arms race that he can’t win and he feels his staff can spend their energies in better places. I get it but I don’t like it. TCU is out to market recruiting moms and dads (family) in a “me first” players world. It’s a tough sale. I think that pitch resonates with a lot of kids but not very many big time recruits who have been treated like min celebrities a good portion of the teen years
there is absolutely no reason why tcu is not getting recruits in the houston area and the metroplex.
i damn well know dana hasn't taken the approach he can't recruit houston because of texas, atm, lsu, etc... and kids wanting to leave home. .
frogs back office support is not up to par, the campus has not been as open and inviting to recruits and coaches as other programs and there are too many lesser programs pulling talent.
friend years ago said when you get near the end of your career you find yourself drifting towards the things you like the most and you have to remind yourself to pay attention to the things you might not like, but have to do to stay competitive.
gary likes working with kids, gary likes developing young coaches, gary likes competing, but i have never felt gary loves recruiting.
no problem, turn to some of those younger coaches and get yourself back to being competitive
