Then, are we to accept the report that CJH really was out of town on an important recruiting visit weekend, visiting a 3-star athlete for the '27 class as straight up facx?!?!!!

Or he never had any interest in transferring lol yā€™all get all jazzed up by supposed inside information but the reality is very few have any idea what is going on or what the plan is

It's valid simply bc CJH was out of town while portal visits were occuring back home. Would seem wise to be selling your program to potential players for next season, as opposed to visiting mid tier prospects in another recruiting class. But I get it, I don't know the master plan, and those are just the optics

A quick google says Sorsby is going to Texas Tech for one year, for $6 million. Jaxson Dartā€™s rookie contract was four years and $17 million, so $4.25M a year. Thereā€™s still a good incentive to get through that rookie contract to get to the bigger one coming later, but I donā€™t see any reason a P4 program shouldnā€™t shoot their shot trying to get someone to not enter the draft, especially if they donā€™t project as a first day pick.

We've got too many holes to spend $5M on a QB.

If we had TTech billionaires, plural.... backing our NIL then sure, but we don't.

It's that simple. Money.

I usually don't put much stock in rumors or assumptions. I usually don't comment on them either, but this is getting silly. As the head coach, Heup can't ignore high school recruits and focus on only portal players. He can't ignore portal players either. That's why you have assistant coaches and coordinators. If you are an edge, you want to meet and get to know the head coach, but you probably are a little more concerned with your position coach and coordinator. Next, visits with high school kids are usually scheduled. Wouldn't look good to brush that off. Considering CJH has the use of a private jet aircraft and Jackson is maybe an hour flight, you can do both things. I read somewhere a perfect quote about CJH being there for portal recruits, these kids aren't 4th graders who need the teacher guiding them in a line around the school, holding hands in a line. We are talking about adults who are looking for a new school for a myriad of reasons. Maybe simple, maybe complex. As far as we fans are concerned, we need to let things happen as they will.

Sure he can while the portal is open and you have kids on campus for a visit. No offense to the kid but a 3* '27 prospect wouldn't be on my priority list to visit at the moment. Kid likely to flip between now and '27 anyway.
It's a new era in college sports and doing things the old way is going to get you left behind

We're still in the infancy of paying players and rules are still changing. Right now players have the leverage, but if they keep transferring out after getting paid as freshman/sophomores while not contributing then schools will eventually lower compensation or drop it for incoming freshman. Once they think it's no longer beneficial to throw out large sums of money to recruits the leverage will shift some back to schools.

You don't know how he is doing it though. Are you on staff? I don't know how he is doing it. I am not on staff. He has other coaches that can be there to meet the portal kids, and when he returns he can meet with them. Sounds simple and logical. He was back in Knoxville by noon, so he had the rest of the day for the portal players. What if that kid he visited is All Vol? What if he gets a big bump in stars or ranking between now and next year? What if CJH brushed him off and that kid thinks, maybe I should go somewhere I am more valued than a 1 year player? Then everyone can speculate he blew it by not going on that quick recruiting trip. Definition of can't win for losing. Sometimes you have to multi-task and use your staff. Delegate responsibility to the ones you trust to do their jobs. At least that's how we did it when I was in the military.
