re: I love what Coach O is doing stretching all the way to philly with an offer

Agree and it could've just as likely have been Ensminger since he coaches TEs. I think the O thing comes from the thought that this might be a DE offer instead of a TE offer. Kid can play either. He's just ranked as a TE. Regardless it likely doesn't matter since we are not likely gonna land the kid.

The recruiting budget and the low amount is directly tied to our location and recruiting strategy. We don't venture out of the region very much like most schools. We stick to the state much more than most schools and after that we hit Texas, MS, AL, GA, TN and FL. Not gonna spend a ton of money going to those states. The biggest spenders go nationwide much more than we do and they all leave their state much more often. Its not laziness. Our staff works hard in recruiting. We just don't shoot for the moon with many national kids. Should we? Maybe but we haven't lately and are fine so I'm good with it.
