When they target a kid he commits to them. They are even taking kids from Texas.

Yet they’re 26th in recruiting though they did buy a LT. last year they were 51st in recruiting. They’re doing alright but they aren’t building a top tier roster

You assume they are recruiting high school players. I wouldn't rely on that anymore. Florida basketball doesn't do it anymore and they just won the national championship.

Yep, HS recruiting is starting to feel old school these days, except maybe at Clemson.

Good point. Florida has pretty much dropped out of recruiting high school basketball players. You never see their name mentioned by the "Five Stars". They do bring in a few locals but there isn't much recruiting for these. They are Gators before they are Gators.

The portal is the way UK can become relevant in football but even that will take a lot of money and some wise decisions. But it can be done with the right coach and right mindset.

Look at their #2 transfer portal class. They didn’t get a bunch of stars from top schools. They got a bunch that didn’t make it and left. The class they brought in is more on the lines of what UK brought in versus the top teams.

I replied to Grumpy saying they get whoever they go after. Well they must not go after many top guys in the portal or HS. Even in the overall they’re 21st. Compare LSU who recruited the portal hard to TT and you can see the difference in who they got, while adding a top HS class. TT is not getting whoever they want. Is it good enough for the Big 12 possibly. Would it compete against B1G or SEC? No freaking way

Through a game and a half, one thing is evident: Texas Tech bought a ton of touchdowns!
