What's the story with this recruitment? Thought we'd be a bigger player.
Why? El Pasoans generally have an over-inflated sense of pride about their city and want everyone else to comment on it so highly.
Lubbock being in west Texas raises the quality of the term “west Texas”.
Have you been to El Paso or Amarillo in the last 4 years??? Once again so we we'll all LEARN you Lubbock is not in West Texas.Why? El Pasoans generally have an over-inflated sense of pride about their city and want everyone else to comment on it so highly.

No way to have the manpower to enforce it. You either let kids get paid or not, a salary cap or NIL restrictions are completely futile.Cheaters will always cheat. Rules are only as good as the punishment for breaking them. This won’t stop until someone is there to enforce it and not look the other way.
There will still be cheating but it makes a difference when you get stuck with your mistakes. Now if you recruit a HS kid and pay him a load of cash and he ends up not being what you thought, you just tell him that get in the portal and you move on. And then go get another guy to replace him, ideally a proven player from another team.Just how successful are programs that buy out the portal. They are better but still not absolutely the best… (see Colorado vs Georgia Tech). I agree that eliminating the portal may be better but then the recruiting process gets more under the table again. Cheaters got to cheat.
Was thinking the same thing...You don’t come across many 16-year old Jerry’s.
Yes, it really gets down to who can bring in the right transfers. Let's hope that Sonny shows us that the '23 season and the first half of the '24 seasons were just aberrations of him being bereft after so many of the '22 team went to the NFL. Sonny beat alot of those guys when at SMU.There will still be cheating but it makes a difference when you get stuck with your mistakes.

Well…he is the third Jerry.You don’t come across many 16-year old Jerry’s.
