Not necessarily "you" specific but remember this the next time anyone points to our class being ranked 3rd on on3. Having it both ways only works with bisexuality.


You could say the same about anyone at 247. Do you really think the rise of analyst staffs across the P5 over the last 15 years hasn’t impacted recruiting services? Most of their staff who aren’t team or national leads today are either super young and just getting started looking for a way up, or guys who either can’t or don’t want to go into coaching. A lot of guys who would have been working for one of the services in the past is doing similar work for a P5 program today, especially on the recruiting side.

Eh, this works in both directions - the increase in available P5 recruiting/scouting jobs also means that there is a greater overall pool of people with experience in the field for 247 or on3 to hire from. I bet there are more guys with actual industry experience working at those outlets now than at almost any other time. Off the top of my head, for example, I know cooper petagna was the director of player personnel at Washington when they brought in the class(es) that formed the foundation of their 2023 team.


Also, just for what it’s worth, there are definitely reasons someone might prefer to work on the publishing side as opposed to the program side. Recruiting specialists at big programs work crazy hours with crazy travel for less-than-great pay and with very little job security.
