That means we are going after mid to upper level FCS talent.
Of course, there are hundreds of kids every single season that get over looked. Our goal is to just get them all I guess.
But when Utah and TCU were getting good, they weren't getting recruits because they were D1. They had tons of other D1 offers as well.
We just need to get into bowl games before we can get the better recruits.
Also spot on. Coaches can't waste their time on talent they know they aren't going to get. They know what they're up against and they know that Wyoming recruiting is all about the "diamonds in the rough", the Brett Smiths, Jovon Bouknights, Marcus Harris, John Wendlings.
We are stuck in limbo man, we have a hard time winning because we are largely made up of FCS talent but we can't get FBS talent because we can't win.
Then there are those of us who are convinced talent has nothing to do with it and it is 100% on the coaches...for you I don't really know what to say. Any coach who takes this job will inherit the same struggles.
Some coaches are more innovative than others. We need to choose wisely in recruiting players, coaches, coordinators, and assistants.
