Each school probably has staff dedicated year round to recruiting and working the portal, but I'd be willing to bet that Smart and Sark aren't devoting as many mental calories to the portal right now as Elko.

One advantage of missing CFP is we have major leg up on UGA and Austinites as far as working the portal. While I'd rather still be playing, one upside is time to recruit the rosters of other SEC teams.
Kudos to the staff.
Per the other thread on this topic, now the key is getting them to mesh with current roster.
Wow you guys are brutal. Of course we all want A&M to be in the playoffs.the most cool guy said:
Great point, OP. We should miss the playoffs every year so we can devote 100% effort to the portal and make sure we get the best players possible.

Those teams were playing this time last year too and look at that they're playing again this year. Some teams are just better at this than we are.OBJTEX said:

The OP was glad we have extra time to devote to the portal. That's not how things work.

This comment is dumb. tu was on year 3 and Smart was year 8. Not exactly rebuilding years anymore

Nice try Sunshine. The OP says an "advantage" to missing the CFP is it gives us a "major" leg up in recruiting the portal. Yeah, the good thing about not winning the lottery is you don't get distracted being rich and you can focus on picking your next numbers.vander54 said:texag101 said:They OP was glad we have extra time to devote to the portal.

Nowhere does it say he's glad. He's just stating we can fix our needs quicker.
Any program worth a damn has a recruiting staff and coaching staff but at the end of the day it's the coaches that pick the players they want. The recruiting staff helps identify interest and communication between coaches and players.

That doesn't mean he's happy. God some of the reading comprehension is horroble on this site.
So you're not "happy" with your claim that we have an "advantage" and "major" leg up on the teams in the CFP? Ok. Great. Nice attempt at parsing an otherwise ridiculous take. Not only do those teams plainly have the demonstrated ability to do both (unlike us by your own argument), but maybe they don't even need to work as hard at it since kids want to play for a winner and their NIL coffers are overflowing due to their winning. The desperation to find a bright side to our mediocrity is obvious.OBJTEX said:vander54 said:texag101 said:Nice try Sunshine.

Exactly. I clearly said that i'd rather be in the playoffs. But if we miss it, we can take advantage. Kirby Smart and Nick Saban said same thing on one downside to making CFP.
Man, all I am saying is that we have an advantage over 2-3 other SEC teams (no longer the real UT) who were busy prepping for meaningful games.texag101 said:So you're not "happy" with your claim that we have an "advantage" and "major" leg up on the teams in the CFP?

It's not the dark side. We haven't won jack in 100 years. It's past time to stop desperately looking for a silver lining. There's nothing good about missing the playoffs. Nothing. But here we are saying otherwise. That mindset is part of problem.Dorm 15 said:

You don't know this. For example, Elko could recruit for 8 hours, while Sark could recruit for 8 hours and coach for another 8. I'm not saying Elko doesn't work hard or that Sark is a hard worker, but you can't make assumptions and declare yourself right.vander54 said:CuervoAg said:

Actually they can't devote as much of their time to recruiting like Elko can. Hopefully this is the last year of this but OP is correct. It's not good but it is a slight advantage

Uh...even if we were in the CFP, we damn sure better be able to multitask.
We have one advantage over most other universities. We have more than 530,000 living alumni (8th most in the US and growing rapidly). I suggest doing WAY more than we do to leverage that to raise more NIL. Then I'd go out and buy a team that would easily compete for a championship.Dorm 15 said:
You are right. There is nothing good about missing the Playoffs. I don't think the OP was suggesting that. Given our present position what would you suggest we do?
