Recruiting Rankings - Less of an indicator of success


Dec 21, 2021, 12:14 PM

I don't comment very often, but seeing the transfer portal and the importance of playing for NIL deals, the success Texas A&M realized this year in recruiting will only be realized if those players stay, wait their turn and work hard. That does not seem to be the trend.

The trend seems to be to commit, if playing time and/or recognition is not realized in a short period of time, then transfer to a program that best fits that description or a program closer to home. A team like Texas A&M this year with great talent recruited - how soon till their coaches leave, their scheme is a poor fit, the competition limits their playing time, or potentially a higher perceived (or offer) of NIL money becomes available at another school.

They simply jump ship. It is not right or wrong, but it will change the game, change the impact of recruiting high school players and change the level of commitment between programs and players. Coaches can change the direction of programs relatively quickly, but teams can also nose dive within months.

It will be interesting, not for the faint of heart or those opposed to change. I do believe that much will settle down over 4-5 years of NIL, as companies realize it is more about players that prove themselves than players that come into college with great potential. I do believe it will increase the costs to programs thus additional revenue streams will continue to be important.

Just some thoughts

Texas A&M recruiting is a perfect example of how they are destroying college football. Although it is not illegal according to today's recruiting rules, it is not exemplified by others as the way to do things.
