You can make a solid argument for Tulane having a good recruiting year now; but Tech??? That’s a head scratcher!!

P.S. here’s to hoping there is a lot more positive news behind the scenes ….

That was Hud and before, Billy made great in roads with local kids and coaches. Hud was starting to crack that nut slowly. The problem is the local coaches have the same stigma the casual fan does about the school that needs to be broken.

The question is who did BN recruit locally that we wouldn't have before?

…..where do you get the info that ltur is killing us in recruiting? Got some names?

Just go look and compare. You can find it for free on 24/7

That is what they should have done but not what was done. You can go back and look.
People here were livid and blamed our lack of success on too much local recruiting rather than bad recruiting.

For starters before billy we very seldom if ever got kids from Acadiana High School. It’s not who did he recruit that we wouldn’t have before. It’s that before he got here many of the in state kids that he got would have picked tech or Tulane over UL or went to so miss or Memphis or some other school. He changed that at least for a brief period. Let’s hope Des can get that momentum back.

Des is using the same evaluation method as they had under Billy…. The method has not changed it will be if the kids want to come here. Plus Des is now dealing with the NIL and Crazy Portal that Billy did not have to deal with when he was here.

Tech had a vibrant passing game.

An exciting offense attracts fans and recruits.
