Like last year, GJ Kinne and his team have recruited some standout players. However, if you're still relying on mainstream recruiting services to cover Texas State football or any G5 program, you won't get an accurate assessment of the talent the Bobcats are bringing in.
After the bowl season, I will start publishing my 2024 evaluations. In the meantime, let's revisit how my 2023 evaluations stacked up against 247.
.
You may notice that we were high on the UIW linemen we recruited from the start, despite them being unranked by 247 and facing criticism from local media voices, especially after the spring. We wouldn't have set offensive records and produced an All-American running back without the exceptional play from the big men upfront.
In addition, players like Tavian Coleman, Kaleb Culp, and Kole Wilson were also unranked by 247 and rarely discussed by local media personalities. However, we knew better and happily included them in our top 10 list.
I suspect 2024 will mirror past years; once you do your homework, there's a lot more to our recruits than what the media is reporting.
Lastly, my ranking system isn't perfect, and after the bowl game, I will publish my Top 5 misses.
