It really is important to remember how low % chance there really is of landing any recruit. Just based on scholarship #s alone, you have to miss all the time or your coaches arent scouting properly. We have been in the mix for some pretty big time players (2013-2015 classes especially), so I think our staff deserves more respect on this board. Some have an attitude of us being inferior and having to get lucky to steal recruits. It's hogwash. We have made a good name for ourselves in several key regions and high school circuits.

It amazes me every time we don't get a recruit we thought we were going to get, the board divides into multiple groups. There's the "we backed off" group, the "Mick messed up" group, the "we don't need him anyway" group and so on.
Its recruiting. We don't know and probably won't ever know what happened. After a guy commits to another school, its time to wish him well and move on. |

I think it is important for everyone to respect the wishes of the recruits and staff when they are making decisions regarding scholarship offers. Recruiting is an inexact science and so is selecting a school for a 17 to 20 year old kid. If it was a perfect system, there would be very few transfers and very few scholarships offered by each school's recruiting staff. Frankly, I like recruiting info and I think it is fun to look at, but I sure as heck don't have time to worry about who chose to go to a different school. Good luck to Torian. If he can help make Houston respectable, that will only help the perception of the conference moving forward. |

What does it matter the reason he's not a Cat? Bottom line he signed with Houston! I don't understand why so many of you are still wasting your time on a thread that should of ended 5 or more pages ago. Let's move on!
