- Only go hard after the big fish if there's a real tangible reason he would pick us over the blue bloods.
Obviously it's easy to make these judgments in retrospect, but it's clear now that pursuing guys like Bragg, Evans, and Thomas was a mistake. Those players had no tangible reason to pick us over the traditional power programs.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but the examples you gave don't really prove your point. Bragg went to Kansas, but I wouldn't call Oklahoma State and Texas A&M "traditional power programs."
