Sark recruiting strategy

[Jay Kennedy]

I don’t understand all the hand wringing.

Guys - this is simple.  Here is Sark’s strategy:

1. Invite guys to visit unofficially to show they are interested.

2. Have guys come on official visits and  show them all the amazing things UT has to offer and have them fall in love.  

3.  Start handing out NIL offers as a way to “choose” the guys they want.  Low ball guys  that are low on the list and see if you can get “value” commitments and give the guys you want a “solid competitive offer”.

4.  Guys who love UT will commit with NIL offers that are on or under budget.

5.  Guys who do not commit but the staff really wants - you keep recruiting through the whistle with knowledge of what the NIL  market is for the player.

6.  Circle back in December and match NIL offers for guys you want and since they loved everything about UT they will choose the good guys by simply matching or getting close to the NIL number.

This ensures UT is never setting the market or bidding against themselves.  Effective and genius!!

I think most of your premises are correct, but the problem is that we are either:

a.) playing against guys who don’t treat the settlement as existing; or

b.) able to throw a ton of money at a singular player since their roster does not require a significant retention rate (Tech).

Some people want black and white answers and thoughts but reality of college football for at least 50 years has been gray area operations and pushing rules to their limits and beyond.

Right. Add into the fact that kids make decisions for 8,000,000 reasons, most of them tied directly to monetary gain.

 

I have read numerous sites saying this new “cap era” is actually far worse than the previous no restriction era ever was. I’m curious to see the strategy going forward
