If GCU or any other WAC team gets a good player, the board is wide open. No one is stopping them from posting away. If fact, I acknowledge they got a good player since I find myself posting recruits for other WAC programs.

It's over the top. It's just one recruit. We went on and on about our other 4*'s and most of them didn't even play last season.

And to say Jans is upping his efforts implies he wasn't doing his best job before. Why was he not trying his best before? He was just doing a so-so job and now that GCU beat him, he's upping the ante? Huh?

Recruiting is a moving target. If other conference members are playing better, it works to NMSU's benefit. NMSU didn't become good in a vacuum. External forces effect the level of ones effort. UNLV helped NMSU to become a better program. Nevada and Utah State pushed NMSU to excel. Now GCU has set the target higher to win the WAC. If you were a student getting straight As with standard set at 90% then a professor moves the minimum to 95% for an A, it makes you work that much hard if you want to remain a straight A student; less margin for error. And that's the case with recruiting, coaching, etc.
