'25 TN ATH Daune Morris (USC commit)

Might be interested, just haven't seen any desire to visit or set up a visit,Probably just my opinion but he has visited in the past so the inability to get him to schedule "to me" signals he wants to get out of the state. Nothing wrong with that but if a local kid doesn't take the time to visit spending alot of time trying to get him back again probably isn't a good use of time or money. Again, JMO.

I made a similar argument with how we waste money on recruiting kids from Mater Dei HS out here in California.

I think we’re 0-20 the last 3 years for Mater Dei kids? Th

I don’t know anything about this kids background other than him being related to Boo Carter. But some kids just want different scenery.
This kid is really good but he seems pretty locked in to playing out here in Cali.

Honestly the he transfer portal maybe a better option anyway for RB this time around. Or maybe there will be a late bloomer somewhere we can get in the 11th hour?

To be fair, we’re not wasting any money on Morris if he isn’t visiting.

Yes, but it’s time that could be spent somewhere else on someone else.

I just don’t consider phone calls/texts a finite resource. Especially with 24 commitments already. At this point, we’re only focusing on a few players. We need a RB. He’s a dynamic RB who fits this offense. His cousin is in the team. He’s committed to a school his family can’t drive to. Keep calling until you can get him to visit. If he doesn’t, he won’t be the first recruit a coach has recruited who went to another school. Nothing lost.

A side benefit is not having to listen to THOSE that would diss our staff for NOT paying attention to an instate recruit right up to signing day. Especially at an instate school with a history of high level players.

Not to mention posturing for potential portal position in our new world. Might get culture shock in CA and those long flights to cold places might get old as well as flight costs for family for HOME games.

Gotta be some variable Momma Bear level of communication for every recruit.
