Don’t disagree with the last line, but most programs experience a down year every so often. Unrealistic to think not. If a kid is detoured from a 3-3 start, then being a Frog wasn’t a top motivation. I think most recruits look at a long track record of winning, not a flash in the pan.
Maybe, he or TCU is no longer felt like a fit for each other?
this 110%. first, for those who are concerned that what is written here might deter the thoughts and conviction of any recruits my proceeding thoughts are not directed at william jones iii
if a recruit is detered by a team having hard times, if they believe what a program has to offer them has changed because of on the field results they are not the players you build a successful program.
every player, every team, every program faces challenges. isnt supposedly one of the reasons we value sports is because of the lessons learned in them?
additionally though, i am more concerned about the recruit who starts looking around when they and their teams are having success and they begin to listen to the whispers that a program like tcu is not big enough for them and their talents.
running from tough times isn't a good trait, but not knowing how to deal with success has derrailed just as many teams and careers
don't know if wj3 falls into either camp and i hope he finds what he is looking for in a school.
