The Cowboys are looking to keep Cash in Oklahoma.
You would better off at South Dakota State!

Hopefully, if he makes it over to Stilly, he gets a new DC.
He should go to Army.
Keep flipping kids from places like South Dakota and keep getting blown out on your home field.

Woohoo. We might recruit hard enough to flip an FCS commit. Is that really what Gundy’s recruiting level has fallen to?
Is it…?
A.) Our recruiting isn’t good enough and we should be bad or…
B.) This team was good last year and with the returning starters, we should be winning the league (or at least in the running)?
I just want some consistency in the complaints instead of just railing about every possible thing. Those complaints are mutually exclusive. If we’re having a disappointing season, then our recruiting level is fine. If this is the level we should expect based on talent, then the gameplanning and playcalling aren’t to blame.
I would tend to say “B”. The players we’ve grabbed from the lower ranks have proven they have D-1 chops. Leon Johnson III was very good. Ozeigbo has contributed. I’m not saying they’re the best possible players, but as depth pieces, it’s probably smart to spend less NIL, especially if you can still get production from them.
The real recruiting problem is at QB. I saw how much NIL Bowman is going for and… it’s a lot. I have seen different things on OSU’s NIL situation. I honestly don’t know how much cash we have, but I at least have to wonder if we have the money to afford a good QB. I don’t know what the future looks like if we don’t.
Why can’t it be both. Our recruiting isn’t good enough that we can get many studs who can play while their young. Which means we have to work that much harder to develop talent. Which then means we have to strike in those years where we have a deeply experienced team, like 2021 for example. But now with the crap coaching, even when we have the most experienced team in NCAA, peppered with a few major recruits at key positions, we still can’t win.
Because there are only like… 4 teams who have recruits to legitimately compete every year. Everyone else has to load up for a run every 2-4 years. If you’re saying we are good enough for that kind of cycle, then our recruiting is where it needs to be.
