Kevin C Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) Loved the interview with Raja Bell on Coffee & Football yesterday. It was a good reminder for me that all recruits (and recruiting decisions) are not the same. Not even close, even in today’s world of NIL and big $$. While some players may be driven primarily by financials, and view their decision more as a business transaction, what matters most to other players truly is culture, relationships, resources, development, scheme, winning at the highest level and getting onto the field to prove they can contribute It was awesome to hear Raja talk yesterday about the relationships Dia began building with Sark, AJ and the staff going back to his first visit in Austin at the age of 13. The authentic way Dia felt the staff were all aligned and showed high character way before Dia was the player he is today, the thoughtful and innovative scheme and how Dia’s strengths fit Sark’s design as the visits progressed, Sark’s track record helping other QBs maximize their gifts, the Q&A with other players over the past couple years and how Raja and Dia’s mom felt like there was a consistency in what they heard from those other players re: resources provided to the players and what things are like when life isn’t all perfect. Because that’s reality. I especially enjoyed hearing Raja describe Sark’s patient and thoughtful approach throughout the process. While other coaches want to rush to the alter for a commitment, telling the player whatever it takes, Sark is more focused on building real relationships and telling players the truth, what they need to hear and determining if it’s a strong fit on both sides. Great job Gerry getting Raja Bell on the show. There was a strong resemblance to the family values we’ve witnessed from the Manning family interviews over the past couple years with the Bell family values. That came across by Raja yesterday. Work hard to be your best, stay grounded and humble, surround yourself with a strong inner circle, do the right thing. You could hear Dia’s character and work ethic shine as Raja talked about how Dia approached his rehab this past season and how he’s even stronger now than before. It really connects to Sark’s saying “Who you are some of the time is who you are all the time”. keep up the great work @Blake Munroe, @Gerry Hamilton and @Bobby Burton!! Hook em! 🧡🤘🏼🐂 Edited July 1 by Bevo92 5 Quote
