wvu just doesn't have a footprint.
they are so far east does anyone really connect them with a conference in the middle of the country, they are competing against the big 10, acc, and sec, they are one of the smallest states in the nation in terms of population, and the top 10 ranking was temporary.

I don’t know in terms of recruiting, but a ton of kids from Florida and the upper east coast know of and head to WVU. It’s a very well known party school for those regions.
Recruiting is a different animal but they’ve pulled some great players out of Florida fairly consistently.

they have signed 5 kids from florida in their last 4 classes and been pretty spread across the country. gone heavy in mid-atlantic and midwest.

So it corrrlates to their entrance into the Big 12 then. They used to be a decent destination for Florida kids. All my cousins and their friends on the east coast always had WVU as one of their school choices and or planned visits. Having been there, I still don’t understand why.

three big 12 teams at the bottom all have no coaching staffs in a short time before the early signing period.
tech is going to change systems and basically brought in a new staff which might be a great staff, but they have no relationships with a month to go.
kstate which wasn't killing it with snyder brings in a coach from a 1-AA power. they might be a great staff, but again when you are in a prospect scarce area as it is and they have a month or so to go you can't expect much from this early class.
kansas has actually picked up the pace under les, but they were so far back this is going to be a bad class.
bottom line is there are two schools in the big 12 with true name brand recognition in the area and the conference doesn't get much respect which has an impact

We got guys over Texas and another big school. We have a real national recruiting class that fits our needs, for the most part. And stars don't tell the story, the player does. Again, as an old coach told a group I was with once, you can get a recruit with all the stars next to his name, then "get him on campus and find out he couldn't play dead in a western". GP always goes for what fits our needs. And the kids are usually great kids off the field.
We are gonna kick so much [Briles] the next few years that PETA may protest.

baylor benefits from being in texas and while people might think it is a joke but rhule and his staff work their asses off recruiting.
i have been told by people who know dana that he doesn't love recruiting and that he and gary are very similar in some of their personality traits.

If you’re gonna be a successful college football coach you better love recruiting or find a way to act like you do. I suppose the HC can kind of get a pass on that but the ones who care are probably gonna beat you more often than not.
It would beat the high holy hell out of me.
