Nobody knows what they are doing in recruiting. Not even Patterson. No college Coach is always right. They are all guessing. And YES sometimes a few mere fans have some better info on a recruit and know more than the Coaches do. Happens all the time at every college. Football coaches are just guessing when they recruit.
And you do know that as good as Tcu is in football, that 30% of the Tcu recruits are DUDs right? You do know that right? I will just name the guys who arent here anymore who were "MISSES" so I dont get hammered for bad mouthing current players.
QB ESKRIDGE (never played a down for TCU)
RB BANYARD (same)
DT NUTEI (bench warmer for 5 yrs)
WR SHUTT (bench warmer for 4 yrs)
RB CAVNESS (bench warmer for 4 yrs)
S JUR THOMPSON (left program)
OL SEFTON (took up a schollie for 2 yrs and rode the bench - horrible bust !)
DB VENSON
LB ISADORE
DE LEATCH (bench warmer for 5 yrs)
DB CHEZ THOMAS (never played a down for Tcu and took up a schollie for 3 yrs)
S GOODSON
DB BLEDSOE
10 MORE current players on the team who I will not name, who will be perennial career bench warmers at Tcu but who will take up a schollie for 4-5 yrs.
This list doesnt count the 10 current busts on the team now who are current players.
As much talk there is here about Texas Longhorn "busts", the shocking thing to most of you here is that Tcu has a much much higher "bust rate" on players than UT does.
You guys just dont want to hear it and demand the information be deleted or banned when it is brought up, therefore you continue to believe in fairy tales that simply arent true. And then you perpetuate that fairy tale and tell it to each other over and over and over again until some of you actually beileve in the Easter Bunny and other such fairy tales like UT has a higher bust rate than Tcu does.
The POINT? Tcu Coaches are guessing, just like every other college Coach in America. And low ranked recruits have a much much higher "bust out rate" than the higher ranked recruits. That is a fact !! The "bust rate" for Tcu 2 star recruits is nearly TRIPLE the "bust rate" of Texas Longhorn 4 star recruits. And that is a FACT also !!
So please dont pretend that the Tcu coaches are perfect in their assessments and the fans dont know JACK SQUAT about recruits. Fans know a lot more than you think ! And Coaches know a lot less than you think and are guessing a whole lot more than you think.
Sometimes they have more info than some of our more astute fans and sometimes they dont !!
So please save us the "COACHES ALWAYS KNOW BEST" nonsense. They are guessing. Same as us fans do.
How's Bonsu doing?
